“ namo om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tele

Srimate bhaktivedanta – swaminn iti namine

namas te sarasvate deve gaura- vani- pracarine

nirvisesa- sunyavadi-pascatya-desa -tarine”

I offer my respectful obeisance’s unto His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda, who is
very dear to Lord Krsna. Dear Srila Prabhupada, your glories are unlimitedly sweet and ever-increasing,
like an ocean of nectar. I do not find words to express my gratitude for your kind mercy on us and saving
our spiritual life from “asat-sanga”. Thank you for giving us the association of devotees “sat-sanga” and
for giving us the opportunity to share the transcendental nectar of this association with so many people.

Srila Prabhupäda, your position is so special that you were hand-picked by Lord Krsna to spread the
teachings of Srimad Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhägavatam throughout the whole planet. This is being
done through your books, which are your most important and lasting contribution and just by reading
them one can understand the basics of scriptures and your special position.

As you have said, the material energy is very powerful, so please hold our hands tightly because we have
the tendency to run away from you. Begging you to forgive our unlimited offenses and your kind mercy
always.
