Stockholm

108 glories to our beloved Gurudeva, the wandering mendicant and topmost swanlike devotee, the greatest preceptor who has taken shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Visnu.

Srila Prabhupada, please give us a place at your lotus feet.

In the Nectar of Devotion, Your Divine Grace quotes from Padma Purana wherein Siva tells Parvati, "My dear Parvati, there are different methods of worship. Out of all such methods of worship, the worship of the Supreme Person is considered to be the highest. But ever higher than the worship of the Lord is the worship of the Lord's devotee." From this we can understand that you are bestowing the greatest blessings upon everyone.

In this Age of Kali there are many personalities on this earth like scientists, political leaders, etc., who pose themselves as being very expert and advanced in knowledge. They are like glow worms, and their glowing attracts the innocent people who become misdirected and confused in this way. But in the midst of this confusion, Srila Prabhupada, you have appeared like the sun and in all your shining glory you extinguish the vain glowing of the glow worms.

O Srila Prabhupada, now, as Lord Caitanya's movement is about to be introduced in Sweden, we unworthy students and unwilling tools simply pray that we will always remember that your pleasure should be the object of our every action. When Lord Krsna entered Dvaraka after His long absence, the citizens felt as if they had regained their lives, and they prayed to Him: "Oh Lord of the universe, You are your father, mother, friend, Lord, spiritual master and worshipable Deity. By following Your footsteps we have become successful in every respect. We pray therefore that you continue to bless us with Your mercy." So now also, by your unfathomable mercy, the citizens of Stockholm will be given the same opportunity of regaining their lives.

Srila Prabhupada, at this time we humbly pray that we can eternally be your faithful servants, and that what we do will be very pleasing to you. You are our life, Srila Prabhupada, our most beloved, and your mercy is our only hope. Our lives are completely vacant without you. Please let us always depend on you as a dog depends on the kindness of its master.

All glories to your divine lotus feet.
