(Srila Prabhupada holding a copy of his original Srimad-Bhagavatam)

"Yes, you are feeling increase in strength with increase in service, and I am not the actual bestower of mercy, rather I am just a messenger for Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So just work hard for Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His mercy will fall upon you like torrents of rain in the monsoon season."

(Srila Prabhupada Letter, March 6, 1973)

"Personally I have no credit for myself, but I am trying to act as faithful servant of my predecessors and just presenting without any adulteration the message which I have received from my Spiritual Master. Similarly, if this message is presented by you all who have accepted me as the Spiritual Master, then all the people of the world may be benefited by receiving this transcendent message of Krishna Consciousness."

(Srila Prabhupada Letter, June 1, 1968)

"Actually I cannot claim any credit for myself, but I say if any credit is due, it is due to the fact that I have not deviated from the original instructions. Whatever I have learned from my spiritual master I have presented before you and similarly whatever success you are having only it is due to the purity of the message which you are carrying."

(Srila Prabhupada Letter, December 18, 1970)

Devotee: ...you Śrīla Prabhupāda. Only by your mercy you have brought us to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.

Prabhupāda: Yes. I am simply messenger. Mercy is of Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura and Śrīla Prabhupāda (Bhaktisiddhānta). Before your coming they predicted that "Somebody will bring." Maybe that somebody I am. (laughs) Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura predicted.

(Srila Prabhupada Conversation, Mayapur, March 23, 1975)
