I serve the lotus feet of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Because of his mercy, the delightful, aromatic, and cooling Malayan breeze of the service, pastimes, and message of Lord Krishnacandra is now moving over the Western countries. That breeze destroys the distressing heat of material existence and grants liberation [to the conditioned souls].

I offer repeated obeisances to His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who brought the delightful and regal mountain of Srimad-Bhagavatam to the Western countries. That eternal mountain is the best of the Puranas and the most delightful of all Vedic scriptures. It is full of rivers of nectar which are the prayers of the pure devotees, and it contains innumerable caves full of jewels which are the descriptions of the beauty of Krishna. That mountain has an exquisitely beautiful summit which is decorated with colorful gardens which are the auspicious pastimes of Lord Krishna, the son of Nanda Maharaja.

His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is the leader of the paramahamsas. Because of him, the great banyan tree of the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is now quickly covering the Western countries. That banyan tree is very fragrant, and it removes the burning sufferings of material existence. That tree delights the saintly devotees and creates great auspiciousness.

With great respect I engage in the service of my saintly spiritual master, the leader of the devotees. He brought the famous, nectarean celestial Ganges River of the hearing and chanting of the glories of Lord Govinda from Vraja-pura to the Western countries. That greatly auspicious river nourishes the lotus flower of love of Krishna and kills the snakes of continued material existence.
