One of the Most Inspiring Lectures You Will Ever Hear
Here is one of the most inspiring lectures that you will ever hear. It was February 28, 1975 and Srila Prabhupada had just arrived in Atlanta, Georgia USA. He sat down on his Vyasasana and gazed upon the beautiful deities of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityanada who were the main deities in Atlanta at that time. He was so overwhelmed with loving emotion that after a few words he could not speak anymore. So he ended the lecture. Here is the transcript of the lecture. And below you find a link so that you hear the words coming Srila Prabhupada's lotus mouth. Make sure you hear this lecture. It will melt your heart!
Prabhupāda: [indistinct] So I am very glad to see you, and I am coming first of all Mexico City? Hmm?
Śrutakīrti: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So Mexico City, then Caracas, then...
Śrutakīrti: Miami.
Prabhupāda: Miami. So I see your temple is the best.
Devotees: Jaya! Haribol!
Prabhupāda: So Caitanya Mahāprabhu is very kind. Parama karuṇa, pahū dui jana. Two Lords, Nitāi-Gauracandra, Nityānanda Prabhu and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, They are very kind, you see? They have appeared just to reclaim the fallen souls of this age. So They are more kind than Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa, He is also very kind. He comes to deliver. But Kṛṣṇa demands that first of all surrender. Caitanya Mahāprabhu even does not demand surrender. He is so kind. [voice choking] So take shelter of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and be happy.
Thank you very much. [in choked voice]
Devotees: Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
My exams are starting tomorrow and I want to do well so that I can get into the Science class and work in Krishna's service. I studied a lot, and I wondered if I should pray to the Goddess of Learning, Sarasvati for my success because she is known to give benedictions. But I am using it in Krishna's service. Or should I continue to pray to Lord Krishna and not to Goddess Sarasvati individually? Please guide me on the best to do.

My Dear D.,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
We are meant to serve God. It is not that we should try to engage Him in our service. Thus our prayers should only be for pure devotional service, not for any fruitive result.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
