"Prabhupada's
great journey, legendary voyage was to come to the West [...]"
"Why did Prabhupada get on the boat? We have to stop and think "Why did Prabhupada
get on the boat? [...]
So what about keeping Prabhupada in the center and what
about remembering why Prabhupada got on the boat... What about Prabhupada determination to keep
trying .... that's what is about [...] why did Prabhupada get on the boat? What did he really want, which were his
expectations [...] what would Prabhupada said to us today [...] Prabhupada got on that boat, no body else
would get on that boat, Prabhupada did something that nobody else would have
done. " Hridayananda
Maharaja's lecture "I like this competition"
"On
this day we all think very hard and pray really pray hard to the Deities and
Srila Prabhupada and really try to get the intelligence and the empowerment." Hridayananda Maharaja
The legendary step
When you got
on that boat
the ocean of
miseries
started to dry
and you caused
the sun to rise
on the horizon
dark side,
as the mission
of your life.
The step that
you moved into that boat
had the gait
of the empowered saint
descending
from mystical stairs
loving and resolute
with faith,
captain of the
Lord's grace,
of a legendary
travel
beyond
boundaries
of time and
place.
When you got
on that boat,
myriads of
souls,
slapped
against shores
deserted of
hopes,
started to
dance
for the ghee
of the Holy Names
fell in the
dormant flames
of hearts
living in vain,
ending
faithless restrictions
of birth,
caste - any mundane chain.
Your feet on
that boat
challenged the
arid infertile void
filling its
vows of silence
with sound reverberating
joy,
a renaissance
started
around the
world
on every
continent roads,
a land of
prophecies
was finally
disclosed.
The magic of
your step
on that boat,
was the desire
of the Golden
Lord
to carry
loving devotion
to the entire
world,
and you want
us still
to keep
bestowing
upon people your
gift,
as it was
received
and by
bringing your feet
to step -
again and again
on that ship,
as
intelligently as you did;
only in this
way
love and compassion
will reach
many hearts
by your ever-flowing
love.
On your
glorification by your spiritual grand-daughter,
MadhavaLata dd
Beautiful offering.
