Letter to Srila Prabhupada

[Guest guest]

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

 

Please accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet which I do not deserve to be anywhere near. You have come from the spiritual world to save me and yet I am so fallen. I cannot begin to grasp the mercy you have extended upon me, yet I am thinking I am so great, so spiriutal. Without you, I was nothing and would continue to be nothing.

 

You have done such a great thing, created this movement, a house where everyone can take shelter. There is room in this house, or use to be. Times have changed but I keep you in my heart, and desire to desire that one day I will achieve some degree of qualification. It was you who brought us love of Radha Krishna, it was you who taught us how to develop that love, it was you who taught us the importance of japa, and it was you who is my savior. I would know no one else, were it not for you. I certainly would not know Krishna!

 

As I look back over time and see my daily life, initially it appears alright. Then I realize, just as some devotee hurt me terribly and does not know it, similarly I may have done the same to another! My dear Srila Prabhupada, please help me not to harm the devotees, however imperfect and fallen we all are we still need each other, and we still are on the path. I wish to offend or hurt none, but this material energy is very powerful! Without your mercy how can I do this? I can't do anything substantial without you.

 

Please help me to learn how to serve better, please forgive me of my limitless offenses I knowingly and unknowingly make at your lotus feet. I remain your eternal most fallen servant, if you will have me. Please don't kick me away, though I may deserve it, but I will keep on trying. You are eternally in my heart as my spiriutal master for ever and ever.
