I serve the lotus feet of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda. Because of his mercy, the delightful, aromatic, and cooling Malayan breeze of the service, pastimes, and message of Lord Kåñëacandra 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 Prabhupäda, who brought the delightful and regal mountain of Çrémad-Bhägavatam to the Western countries. That eternal mountain is the best of the Puräëas 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 Kåñëa. That mountain has an exquisitely beautiful summit which is decorated with colorful gardens which are the auspicious pastimes of Lord Kåñëa, the son of Nanda Mahäräja.
