A Prayer of Dedication
“Srila Prabhupada, I have no qualifications. I don’t even know how to love Krishna. Please accept me anyway, and let me serve your mission – the way you wish.”
This kind of raw, honest prayer has moved countless devotees to tears and action. Why? Because it is the beginning of real humility and true reliance on mercy.
Srila Prabhupada’s refuge is often felt strongest in the storm. This prayer becomes a turning point, helping us develop faith not in outcomes, but in Krishna’s plan.
A Prayer for Devotional Service
“Please engage me in your service, Srila Prabhupada – not for name, not for fame, but to please you.”
Many devotees remember this simple prayer, which opened up opportunities they had never imagined – the chance to preach, cook, sing, lead, clean – all with joy.
Why Does It Change
What makes a prayer transformational? It is not poetic language or ritual formality. It is sincerity, humility, and a willingness to serve. When our hearts are open, Srila Prabhupada enters – and things begin to change.
What was yours?
Pause for a moment. What was that prayer that you still remember? What effect did it have on your heart, your habits, your path?
Share your prayer in the comments or keep it between you and Srila Prabhupada only. But never forget it – for it may be the beginning of your real spiritual life.
