All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!!! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!! The following is the extract from the address given by H H Radhanath Swami Maharaj at the Sahasra Tirth Jala Maha Abhiskek festival at ISKCON, Sri Sri Radha Rasabihari Mandir, Juhu, on 6th September 1996.Let us all pray to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada for blessings and commit ourselves wholeheartedly to his divine mission and to hold his divine lotus feet till our last breath. Thank you very much. Kindly let me always remain under the shelter of your prayers, blessings and association. Your obedient in the service to Srila Prabhupada Rasamrita Das === Thank You, My Dear Godbrother,your servant,Jaya Kesava Dasa A speck of dust of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet……….……….....We have the great fortune of being present during this glorious moment when Srila Prabhupada will be bathed in the waters from 1008 holy places all over this land of Bharat varsha. Devotees for several years worked very hard to collect waters. There are many articles and videos showing devotees taking airplanes and trains and rikshaws and buses and walking for days and days to very remote parts of the world to get some of the holy waters. It is explained in Srimad Bhagavatam that all the holy places in all of existence are contained within the lotus feet of pure devotee like Srila Prabhupada. Just like you take the water from Ganges and offer to Mother Ganges and She accept that worship, Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet contains all the holy places and we had to work very hard and travel everywhere just to get the same substance that are contained within the dust of his lotus feet, to offer him in this abhishek. In fact, all the holy places are within a speck of dust of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet. And that dust is available to everyone in any place throughout all time who just follow his instructions, to live a life of devotion to Krishna, understanding Krishna to be the Supreme Person and understanding ourselves to be the eternal soul, part of Krishna, the eternal servant of Krishna and to awaken that natural love by sincerely chanting Krishna's holy names. Anytime we chant the holy names and serve this glorious mission of Srila Prabhupada, we should know that we are taking our bath in all the holy places in all of existence. Srila Prabhupada left Vrindavan to bring Vrindavan to the entire world and it was by his mercy alone that many of us were saved from wasting this valuable human form of life in pursuit of worldly pleasures. 25 years ago in this great city of Bombay Srila Prabhupada placed the dust of his feet upon my head for the first time and I am eternally indebted to him and we feel a great debt to the city of Bombay because it is here that Srila Prabhupada cast his great mercy upon us. In fact Srila Prabhupada spent so much time here in Bombay because it was his most fervent desire that all of you help him to serve the mission of his Guru Maharaj by living exemplary lives in Krishna consciousness and spreading throughout the world, the glories of the Sankirtan movement of the chanting of Krishna's holy names. So today during this beautiful abhishek ceremony let us all bathe Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet with our commitment to enthusiastically assist this International Society For Krishna Consciousness, which is Srila Prabhupada's body, with our great willingness to help him by pushing on this movement. ISKCON is Prabhupada's body, he said many times. On this maha Vyas Puja let us bathe the body of Srila Prabhupada by this determined commitment to this mission.
