One might ask why Srila Prabhupada did so many things that the others did

not do.

He went to America, having faith is Lord Caitanya's "every town and

village", which others did not take universally.

He converted mlechas and yavanas into vaisnavas, having complete faith in

SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM

TRANSLATION

Kirata, Huna, Andhra, Pulinda, Pulkasa, Abhira, Sumbha, Yavana, members of

the Khasa races and even others addicted to sinful acts can be purified by

taking shelter of the devotees of the Lord, due to His being the supreme

power. I beg to offer my respectful obeisances unto Him.

 

He translated the SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM into English and inspired his followers

to distribute it profusely and to translate in many other languages.

 

He did so many things that others did not do the volumes have been written

about his accomplishments. Many admit that he was empowered and acting

under the direction Lord Nityananda.

 

I am sure that others can say more.
