Last year to Poland I had traveled, to be among stars,When I realized, home is where my heroes are.An army of generals, warriors, and soldiers,Pioneering a mission on their surrendered shoulders.

Dear Srila Gurudev,Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet; all glory to Srila Prabhupada!Where to even begin? Srila Gurudev, when I started thinking of how I can even describe a fraction of a parcel of your glories, a verse I had encountered in my shastric studies dawned on me.
