Dear Srila Prabhupada

You are the greatest savior of the
fallen souls ever born,
As "maha patita pavana"
you will be known
For Krsna has empowered you
to do more
To spread the Holy Name
than any master before.
You are the light by which
this world will see
that there is a path by which
all can be free
from the painful condition
of forgetting the Lord.
You are showing the way
and giving the sword.
"Just to spread Lord Caitanya's
mission," you say,
"This will please Krsna;
you'll go back home one day.
Distribute these books, prasad,
and the Holy Name
to everyone, regardless, then
Kaliyuga we'll tame."
You see us all suffering
at the hand of illusion
knowing fully all our
attachments, offenses and so on.
Yet, as the most merciful father
embraces the prodical son,
you are personally saving your
world family, one by one.
Our work is cut out for us,
you have told us what to do.
"Help save all fallen souls,
help me give them life anew."
A moments association with
Your Divine Grace
through your ISKCON movement
will change the fate
of this world's "misdirected civilization"
giving love of Krsna, the real liberation.
We beg to remain a tiny part
of your inconceivable plan,
to perform some small task
in the matter at hand
of helping others know of
your great position in this greatest of causes:
Lord Caitanya's Mission!
