Glorifying A Saintly Person

Today is the remembrance Day of the founder of the Hare Krishna movement, His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami. He left this world on this day 1977.
In our process of devotion days like today are used to celebrate Saintly people and what they have given us.
I am finding this very hard to write because to remember what an amazing personality Prabhupada is, is also to realize that He is no longer physically with us. And that is upsetting.

Prabhupada did what no other person had done before. He has given the science of Krishna Consciousness to the world. He left home at an elderly age with no possessions, travelled from India on a steam ship suffering 2 heart attacks along the way to "give us what we have forgotten"
Without Srila Prabhupada I would not know who God is, I would be lost still trying to gain happiness from my limited senses, I would have nothing. So today I will try my best to do what would please Prabhupada, to some how try and repay a small amount of the debt which I owe Him for what He has given me.

There is a video below about Srila Prabhupada and a list of links below that I urge any reader to please go to and find out a little more about the glorious person that Srila Prabhupada was and how He touched so many lives with God Consciousness.
