Srila Prabhupada’s Beautiful Transcendental Qualities


Please post my offering to Srila Prabhupada on your website. It is entitled “Srila Prabhupada’s Beautiful Transcendental Qualities”. I want to glorify Srila Prabhupada before I pass away. Your servant, Ajitananda dasa
Dear Ajitananda Prabhu
Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Thank you for sending your offering. Right now www.krishna.org we are not posting any new articles. We have not posted any new articles for a couple of years now.
So we are just not pubishing anything right now for various reasons.
You can post on www.chakra.org they publish everything.

I am very greatful to see your offering and you have glorified Srila Prabhupada very much in it.
Real thing to glorify Srila Prabhupada is not so much offering writing.
It is to develop the qualities you list ourselves and preach Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s message all over the world. That is a little more difficult than writing offerings. But that is the mission Srila Prabhupada has left us with.
There are so many offerings, millions of them, it is nice, but not many devotess who posses the qualities of a pure devotee, not so many devotees who actually have any potency to spread the holy name all over the world.
Prabhupada got the whole world chanting Hare Krishna.
While he was preaching the Hare Krishna mantra was being loudly chanted on the streets of all the great cities of the world constantly. Devotees were chanting Hare Krishna and distributing Prabhuapda’s books all over the wold and they were working at it seven days a week 24 hours a day.
It appeared that a huge army of Vaisnavas had descended from Vaikuntha and they were delivering Lord Caitanya’s mercy to everyone. It seemed like millions of Vaisnavas. But actually there was only a couple of thousand. Prabhupada once said that a devotee can work like 300 ordinary men. And the devotees were certainly working like 300 men or more…
Anyhow, the point is, even though Prabhupada’s disciples have written thousands of offerings, the preaching has completely stopped. And the qualities of a pure devotee are not visable any more in this miserable world.
Bottom line is actions speak louder than words.
If you really want to glorify Srila Prabhupada you have to do what he did, you have to become a pure devotee like him by follow in his footsteps. Go out to the fallen conditined souls and talk to them about Krishna. Chant Hare Krishna, get them to chant Hare Krishna, speak to them from the Bhagavad-gita As It Is, administer the only medicine that can cure the disease of Kali-yuga. Cook Prasadam, offer it to Prabhupada and distribute it to the fallen conditioned souls.
You are writing this letter like, “I am just about to die…” We are all “just about to die.” Prabhupada practically died on the ship on the way to the US. But just see what that “almost dead” man achieved…
Krishna can empower us to do anything. Anyhow. Even though I have not posted anything on www.krishna.org for 2 years I am going to post my letter and your offering also.
I apologize for this. Please forgive any offence caused.
Thank you very much for sending your offering. I suggest you make it a practical thing and do as Prabhupada did. I also need to do some practical work for Srila Prabhupada. I am just dying in the hands of maya… I would prefer to be chanting and dancing in the Kirtan.
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!
Your servant
Madhudvisa dasa
