Dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories, all glories to your divine grace!!!
It is because of your tireless efforts that many thousands and millions of people around the globe have come to know about Krishna and practicing seriously spiritual life. You have given us Krishna in the form of many books, many festivals, the holy names and pure devotees, without whose guidance we would not know you in full glory.
The gopis when searching for Krishna sang their hearts out in 'Gopi gita' (Bhagavatam 10th canto 31st chapter) and they say the most munificent are those who spread the glories of Krishna everywhere (bhuvi grnanti ye bhuri da jana). It shows how dear you are to the gopis and the Lord of their heart, Syamasundara.
Srila Prabhupada, please bless me with a particle of dust from your lotus feet so that I will never forget to serve you and your devotees life after life.
Your servant
Radhikesh das

Srila Prabhupada's Glorification by Sripad Bhaktisvarup Damodar Maharaj (Dr. TD Singh)
In his 1981 Vyasa Puja offering to Srila Prabhupada, he wrote, "He was a champion in every aspect of transcendental activities. It was Srila Rupa Gosvami who expressed about Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu saying, namo maha vadanyaya krishna prema pradaya te krishnaya krishna chaitanya namne gauratvise namah – Lord Sri Krishna Chaitanya is more magnanimous than any other avatara, even Krishna Himself, because He is bestowing freely what no one else has ever given -– pure love of Krishna. I can very boldly proclaim that Srila Prabhupada is even more magnanimous than Lord Chaitanya because he was the one who picked up even the most rotten souls, like myself, and freely gave us golokera premadhana, which no one had done before. He gave us Krishna consciousness, the most sublime and confidential knowledge. It was he who crossed the oceans and mountains sacrificing all personal comforts at such an advanced age to distribute freely this golokera premadhana to everyone all over the globe for the welfare of all. He was compassion personified. It was he who followed in the footsteps of Narada Muni; it was he who followed in the footprints of Prahlada Maharaja; it was he who fulfilled the prophecies of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu; it was he who followed in the footsteps of the Six Gosvamis of Vrindavan; it was he who fulfilled the desires of Bhaktivinoda Thakura; it was he who held as his life and soul the orders of his Guru Maharaja, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur, and carried them out without the slightest tinge of personal motivation. His unlimited courage and glories cannot be described fully by any form of expression."

H.H BhaktiSwarupa Damodar Swami Maharaj is so Humble even after Contributing So Much for Srila Prabhupada's Hare Krishna Movement, he call himself a rotten souls.
