The Thousand Holy Names of Lord Viñëu
– Dedicated to His Divine Grace –A.C. Bhaktivedänta Svämé Prabhupäda
Who brought the divine Holy Names of the Lord to the Westat great personal inconvenience and sacrifice. His onlypossessions were about $7 in Indian
rupees
and a box of Vedicscriptures. His only motivation was the benefit of all sufferingliving beings trapped in the dark well of material existence. Hisonly students were the most fallen, materially exhausted rejectsof society. Yet he changed the course of history by introducingthe highest process of self-realization in a broken-downstorefront in New York’s Lower East Side. Who canunderstand such a fountainhead mercy and ocean of compassion? We cannot imitate you, but we can dedicate ourlives to following your divine instructions, which are identicalto the association of the Supreme Lord Çré Kåñëa.
“Who says that Vaiñëavas die, when thou art living yet in sound? Vaiñëavas die to live, and living, spread the Holy Namearound.”
— Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura
