Panchanga Pranam to A.C.

Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

I'm Surendra one of the most fallen souls on the earth.I offer my gratitude towards
you because you gave me lot of things.I want to share my life before and after
taking krishna consciousness. Initially days I used to believe the existence of
god (I'm not an athiest) but I was not interested in knowing the things related to
god and read spiritual books.I used to think that reading spiritual books is just
waste of time as the actions performed by god are not practical.They are like
magic.Even, when I started reading BHAGAVAT GITA for the first time ,I got
completely bored up with the introduction and stopped reading it.I was not much
inclined towards Krishna and couldn't digest the facts in the introduction of
BHAGAVAT GITA. But once the classes got started I realised the content through your
wonderful purport's which are absolutely in sync with the translation. I have heard
translations from different authors but they merely give rules to follow but your
examples make you suitable for the word ACHARYA. I feel sleepy when I tried to read
bible but your books are quite different. They contain some thing that I feel can
be applied practically.

On hearing the hardships that your disciples have undergone I couldn't believe
that how can a disciple go such an extent that he can sacrifice his life.They have
such a good faith on you and your philosophy.Because of U and your disciples we
are here and krishna consciousness is still spreading.

I am very thankful to you for your temples(ISCKON). You have planned every thing
at the age of 80's before leaving boby so perfectly that ISCKON completed its 50
years successfully.Your idea of distributing Prasadham is very great because every
one is just focusing only on the construction of temples.These temples prevented
the extinsion of vedic education.It's because of you the vedic education is still
being thought in bhakivedant schools.

With a great struggle and sacrifice u brought the westren devotees to india started
preaching here.Direct preaching in India is not posibble because every one is made
to believe that every thing is mythology and even I believed it.But after attending
sessions I realised the truth.It's because of your mercy I got to know that they
are not mytholgy.

You have great mercy on the further generations that you made your disciples record
your classes and store them safely.

I thank you very much for efforts u made inspite of your heart attacks and severe
wether conditions to save the fallen souls.
