We prostrate ourselves at the Lotus Feet of our Beloved Spiritual Master and offer this treasured book to His Divine Grace on our bowed heads. We came to Him looking for broken pieces of glass, and He has bestowed upon us a priceless gem. He has   opened our eyes,   which   blinded by the darkness of atheism, mental speculation, and sense gratification, to the glorious light of Lord Chaitanya Maha­prabhu. His transcendental words are   seeds which in our hearts have bloomed into the perfection of human life—the discovery that God lives and that we can live with Him—Krishna Consciousness.
