Puerto Rico

Our dearmost father and spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada,

You have created for us a life of good fortune, and you are our life and soul. Please accept our prostrate obeisances offered at your lotus feet, which are always decorated with the flower offerings of your flower-like devotees. You have appeared and poured forth your boundless mercy upon us, who are bereft of any other friend or shelter in this world. We wish simply to become worthy to be your children, to reciprocate the loving kindness you have shown to us. Please accept us.

Our good master, Srila Prabhupada, we cannot even imagine anything of the real significance of auspiciousness of your appearance in this world which we have been forced to appear in. But Providence is indeed merciful, for we have been blessed with the chance to meet with you and fall down at your lotus feet, hearing the message of Godhead emanating from your lips. The pure vibrations proceeding from your lotus mouth are the only solace to our hearts and minds, which are so full of lust. You have told us that this Kali-yuga we are living in is an ocean of faults, but we are not sorry to live in Kali-yuga as long as we have you as our master. We feel now that we have tasted the nectar of hearing your glorious songs and lectures, in praise of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krsna, there is nowhere we wish to be except in touch with those pure sound vibrations. We pray that we may never be unable to hear and recall the sound of your offerings of praise to the Lord.

O Srila Prabhupada, the time of your appearance in this dark world is a time when everyone rejoices and remembers the infinite mercy of the supreme Lord upon the conditioned souls. And we believe that this is the time when your spiritual master rejoices most of all. For it is you alone who have kept alive his great desire to confer the blessings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu upon the whole of humanity. We offer our small token of appreciation.
