Hare Krsna;
Only Srila Prabhupada fearlessly ventured outside of India as the first Vaisnava sannyasi to inject into the materialistic wasteland of America the sublime vision of God's true identity and our loving connection to Him.
Only Srila Prabhupada brought with him to the West the first english edition of the luminous Srimad Bhagavatam, as the formost theistic exposition of God's supreme Personhood.
Only Srila Prabhupada, moved by universal compassion, sat down alone in the midst of decrepid New York City, to chant Hare Krishna for the pleasure of Lord Caitanya and his guru.
Only he lived among the degraded and confused youth of the Lower East Side to mercifully uplift them back to sanity.
Only he masterfully injected into their muddled mentality the sacred words of Lord Krishna to begin their progress towards His eternal service.
Only he patiently fanned their spark of sincerity to gradually mold the most receptive into his fledging followers.
Only he lovingly nurtured their tender creeper of devotion to allow them to become attached to his strict teachings.
Only he was empowered to deliver to the world the pure Gaura-vani (from the bona-fide Sarasvata lineage), in its most complete, succinct and accessible form, within his 60 enlightening books of translations of the essential devotional scriptures.
Only he could inspire his growing numbers of dedicated disciples to abundantly distribute these unique works of spiritual genius with millions of copies worldwide.
Only he is by now the most abundantly printed and read author in history.
Only he devoted himself day and night to propagate the Sankirtan Movement of Lord Caitanya with such intense enthousiasm that his many disciples were inspired to follow his awesome example and also accomplish super-human feats of devotion. Thus Srila Prabhupada was able to establish over 100 temples worldwide in only 11 years.
