Unalloyed love of Krishna is like an ocean of happiness. If someone gets one drop of it, the whole world can drown in that drop. It is not befitting to express such love of Godhead, yet a madman must speak. But even though he speaks, no one believes him. [ Caitanya- caritamrita, Madhya 2.49]

Because of your bhakti , our heart and mind endlessly drank of your every word and gesture.

Because of your bhakti , we chose to lay prostrate at your feet, and then, gazing upwards into your compassionate face, we could behold the wonders of krishna-prema.

The exchange of spiritual happiness between Krishna and His devotee in which Krishna is controlled by His devotee is compared to an ocean of nectar into which the devotee and Krishna plunge. This is the verdict of learned scholars who appreciate Krishna 's opulence. [ Caitanya- caritamrita, Madhya 19.229]

Thank you for your wholly surrendering to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura.

Yours is the bhakti that made a dimension of Vaikuntha possible within this world of hype, hopes, and hellish mentalities.

Yours is the premier bhakti that multiplied into progeny bhaktis . Yours is the drum of devotion that keeps ISKCON marching.

Your consummate demonstration of disciplehood empowers us with a glimpse of real life as servants of Mahaprabhu's sankirtana party.

Ecstatic love of Krishna makes Krishna and His devotees dance, and it also dances personally. In this way, all three dance together in one place. [Caitanya-caritamrita, Antya 18.18]

Aspiring to be your unconditional servant — if not in this life then in the next,

Devamrita Swami
