Dear Srila Prabhupada,

I offer you my prostrated obeisances.

So many words have been said to describe the wonderfulness of your personality. Is there anything more to say?

I don't think so but I will nevertheless speak a few words to express my heartfelt gratitude for the trouble you took in the final years of your life to come out of Vrndavana and give us directions so that we could go back home, back to Godhead.

The words you have used shook me off my slumber and I started to appreciate what real life is all about. While coming to my senses, I could also see how your language was truly universal since you were able to touch the heart of so many other souls like me. O magnanimous one, I feel so blessed. I pray that I will always remember your instructions and that I will soon be able to be with you in the spiritual world and witness how you lovingly serve Sri Krsna.

Let me always carry the dust of your lotus feet on my head.

Your servant,
Praghosa dasa
