Srila Prabhupada praises Giriraja Prabhu (now Swami)

[Guest guest]

Sri Sri Guru Gaurangau Jayatah

 

Dear Giriraja Maharaja,

 

Please accept my obeisances. All glories to His Divine Grace, ISKCON Founder

Acharya, Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

 

> Still, I am bewildered when I consider why a sober devotee as you would

> forward such words to others. And I feel quite embarrassed.

 

Maharaja, I beg you to forgive me for causing you discomfort that has arisen

from your natural Vaisnava humility. But surely, forwarding this

appreciation by Srila Prabhupada will give great joy to many other

Vaisnavas, who may feel inspired to emulate the qualities that Srila

Prabhupada recognized in you.

 

To be recognized by the spiritual master is the perfection of life; that

Srila Prabhupada did so toward yourself not only once, but repeatedly, is

certainly meaningful.

 

Hare Krishna.
