On the auspicious occasion of the Appearance Day of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, I extend my heartfelt greetings to all of you.
He bound the entire world with the holy thread of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra and conveyed a message of unparalleled spiritual unity.
During his lifetime—>
he founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and inspired millions of people to embrace a divine way of life.
Srila Prabhupada did not limit himself to discourses alone, through his writing, he opened the treasure-house of eternal wisdom.
He translated and gave profound commentaries on monumental scriptures such as the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Bhagavad-gītā, and Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, along with more than 100 authentic Vaiṣṇava texts, which continue to enlighten countless seekers across the globe.
One of his remarkable achievements was transforming the youth of America especially those influenced by the countercultural hippie movement into sincere devotees of Lord Krishna, enabling them to experience true spiritual bliss.
Through his tireless devotion and service, he established 108 magnificent temples worldwide, thereby ensuring the global spread of Krishna-bhakti.
