"He endowed humanity with the priceless goal of life, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose bodily hue resembles that of a lustrous monsoon cloud. The touch of his merciful glance elevates the most fallen of men to a platform superior to the most excellent brahmana. He abandoned his personal happiness of residing in Sri Vrindavana Dhama and accepted countless troubles in order to render service to his guru, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura. O Prabhupada! Please bestow your service on me, for I am ready to accept your order."

"He mercifully came with the purpose of curing dharma, who had become diseased. Thus he boarded the steamship Jaladuta to deliver the Western countries. He became the shelter for those totally bereft of decent behavior, his heart melted out of love for the souls in such a distressed condition. O Prabhupada! Please bestow your service on me, for I am ready to accept your order."

"In the kitchen he masterfully cooked milk products, grains, vegetables, fruits and other ingredients, flavoring them with salt and spices such as chili.

"He translated Srimad-Bhagavatam, which is the essence of the tree of Vedic literature, and through his disciples he distributed it throughout many countries.

Please bestow your service on me, for I am ready to accept your order."

"His singing of Krishna's glories illusioned the illusory energy and disrupted Kali's plans for disruption. By his earnest devotional hankering, he invoked the charitable glance of Lord Jagannatha and thus He also traveled to bless the degraded countries of the West. O Prabhupada! Please bestow your service on me, for I am ready to accept your order."

"O Prabhupada! Your form is filled with sobriety, yet you taste the elixir of the ocean of bliss. Your form is brilliantly manifest because you give pleasure to Sri Sri Radhika-Madana-Mohana, and you are completely filled with satisfaction by leading your disciples to Their lotus feet. O Prabhupada! Please bestow your service unto me, for I am ready to accept your order."

"O Srila Prabhupada, kindly allow the dust of your lotus feet to perpetually fall upon us, who are the humble servants of Lord Murari and are forever engaged in assisting your mission."
