Dear Srila Prabhupada,
We are really grateful for your appearance because otherwise we would be ignorant of the sweet taste of spiritual transcendence. Thank you for awakening us to Krishna consciousness.
It seems that I have not fully realized the importance of spiritual practice. Please pull me away from these dreams of material pleasures and achievements.
I beseech you to provide me with strength, conviction and blessings so that I can fulfill my promises to you.
Forgive me for my mistakes and give me the intelligence to learn from them.
Hare Krishna!!
Your insignificant servant,
Vrndavana Das

Srila Prabhupada Vyasa Puja 2008 Offering from Bhakta Prakash Namasivayam
My dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
You are the real sun for the whole world, awakening the souls from darkness. Your service to human kind is unaccountable. There are many leaders in the world calling themselves as "social saviors" and many rascals calling themselves as "Krishna" or "God". All those idiots don't know the basic fact that we are not the body but soul. Also, those people are wasting their time and spoiling their followers’ life by cheating the people. But, you are the real leader, our respectful, loving spiritual master. You are not an ordinary human being. You need not have taken birth in the world. We all know that you came down to the earth planet from the spiritual world, Vaikuntha, in order to take the fallen souls back to Godhead.
You are awakening the whole world from darkness within a short span of time. Some countries blabber that "sun never sets in their country". But, the truth is that "SUN NEVER SETS IN ISKCON". Wow! How many Krishna Conscious temples you have created in the whole world within a short span of time and how many souls were saved by you!! I am not able to imagine the number of books you have written and translated within such a short span of time. All those are everlasting assets to the whole world. Your books really help awakening the fallen souls.
Here is one such fallen soul trying to write about you. I am not even qualified to write about you. I am so fallen. But, with your kind mercy, you allowed me to write about you. I thank you so much for showering your boundless mercy upon me. Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita 18.66, "Leave all sort of philosophies and surrender yourself to me". It is so simple. Just accept Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and surrender ourselves to him. There should not be any difficulties in that. If we do that, there won’t be any difficulties or sorrows in our life. We can also go back to Godhead. How simple process it is indeed! But, I am so fallen that even after accepting Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, I am not able to surrender myself to Him. I am so worried about that. At least, I am fortunate that I am in a correct place and having a perfect guru, it is you, my master Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you! You are always with me through your books and preaching. Please shower your mercy on me. Even a single drop of your mercy can save me from this world and take me back to Godhead.
So, I plead at your lotus feat to help surrender myself to you and Krishna. Help me to love Radha-Krishna. Help me to follow the four regulative principles. Help me to always follow your precept.
Hare Krishna!!

Srila Prabhupada Vyasa Puja 2008 Offering from Mahaprabhu Das
Dear Srila Prabhupada,
You have gone through so much trouble just to establish this Krsna Consciousness movement all over the world. You have shown us that we have to also try hard by flapping those wings of ours and follow the rules and regulations and not just space out.
It is by your mercy that we are all sitting here today at Sri Krishna Mandir celebrating your transcendental appearance day. It is said in the Sri Sri Gurv-Astaka, "Yasya prasadad bhagavat prasado yasya prasadan na gati kuto 'pi". By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krsna. Without the grace of the spiritual master one cannot make any advancement.
So here in this tiny island of Singapore, the struggle to make or rather build a temple is like an uphill task. Just give us a drop of your mercy Srila Prabhupada, to make this possible here in this country. Hoping you will hear this offering from your most fallen disciple.
Most fallen,
Mahaprabhu Das

Srila Prabhupada Vyasa Puja 2008 Offering from Raghupati Das
I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who is very dear to Lord Krsna having taken shelter at His lotus feet.
Knowingly or unknowingly I have committed so many offences at your lotus feet but due to your mercy I am very fortunate to have the association of nice devotees. I am praying at your lotus feet to remain as a dust at your lotus feet.
My respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Caitanyadeva and delivering the western countries which are filled with impersonalism and voidism.
Singapore is no better than the western countries. So we need your special mercy to preach in this country.
Please help us to have a permanent temple so that we can worship the Lord more opulently.

Srila Prabhupada Vyasa Puja 2008 Offering from Krsna Caitanya Das
My respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
By your mercy it has been possible to understand the position of the living entity in this material world. This forms the sum and substance of all knowledge and is the highest of all that one can endeavor to conquer. Though in my life it is pretty much in theory than in practice, you have enabled me to make an honest attempt to try and become eternally happy. My success or failure in this journey is entirely in hands of you and Krishna. Nevertheless I should thank you with folded hands and wish to gain strength as I move forward into the householder life.

Srila Prabhupada Vyasa Puja 2008 Offering from Tattva Vit Das
Jaya Srila Prabhupada
Oh! Kali Yuga is an ocean of vice;
So dark, so ugly that nothing is nice.
All the souls that are here to rot
Are by far the most condemned lot.
The blokes of heaven
Have ceased to come by,
Their wives ecstatic
To have them by their side.
Contented with their luxuriation
They rejected this planet
Just like excretion.
Then auspicated the Golden Era
Lord Caitanya manifested the Supreme Goloka.
He inaugurated the Maha-mantra
And foretold that the Holy Name would spread
In every town and village that man had tread.
The commoner doubted His prophecy
Only to realize it was his fallacy.
Srila Prabhupada’s felicitous descent
Turned the fetid Kali Yuga fragrant.
The entire world he inundated
With pure love of Godhead.
The unfortunate turned fortunate,
The ignorant became wise.
The blind being endowed with vision
Became fixed on their path
Towards the supreme destination.
By his unfathomable spiritual prowess
Kali Yuga has become most glorious.
By conferring upon us the following benison
He put to shame the dwellers of Eden:
“Just fill your mouths with the Holy Sound,
Rest assured, you won’t come around!”
Thank you Srila Prabhupada!!
