Nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhutale srimati bhaktivedanta swamin iti namine
Namas te sarasvate deve gaura-vani-pracarine nirvisesa-sunyavadi-pascatya-desa-tarine

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

As you were leaving this world, you said, “Try to expand our mission. If you cannot expand it, at least maintain it. Sadly, we were not able to do that, and today your Western mission is quite small compared to what it was under your direct leadership. Thus, it is the duty of your faithful followers to join together in a determined effort to expand your Western followers. You often emphasized that if leading Western countries accepted Krishna consciousness, the world would follow. This was your global strategy to establish Lord Caitanya’s sankirtana movement as the yuga-dharma for the whole world.  I pray that Lord Krishna empower us to carry out your clearly stated desire for this planet. You gave your life to achieve this most noble goal, and we should give our lives in the same spirit. This will show that we actually understand the yuga-dharma, and the Founder-Acarya of ISKCON.

Your servant,
Hridayananda dasa Goswami
