YOUR VOICE

Oh gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada (A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami)

What is so special about your books?

Your voice.

How are your books different from your taped lectures,

Or taped kirtans and bhajans? They are also your voice.

Your books are like sheets of music.

When we read them aloud we sing the songs you have written,

Songs of love of God.

If we sing them then we also taste love of God.

If we sing them enough we develop love of God.

These songs enter deep into our heart and make it also sing.

Not just our lips and tongues.

This is the secret of hearing and chanting.

I pray we all taste the nectar that is there.

Dear god brothers and god sisters and everyone, please read Srila Prabhupada's books.

Not just silently, but out loud.

Even if no one (that we can perceive) is there.

Srila Prabhupada is there. Krishna is there. Radharani is there. Lord Chaitanya is there.

Hear and chant. Prabhupada has given us the sheet music.

Let us all become Krishna’s symphony orchestra,

Srila Prabhupada the great composer and director.
