(Srila Prabhupada's photo in the Butler Eagle 1965 with the caption, "Ambassador of Bhakti-yoga")
"It is said that a single pure devotee of the Lord can deliver all the fallen souls of the world. Thus one who is actually in the confidence of a pure devotee like Nārada or Śukadeva Gosvāmī and thus is empowered by one's spiritual master, as Nārada was by Brahmājī, can not only deliver himself from the clutches of māyā, or illusion, but can deliver the whole world by his pure and empowered devotional strength."
(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.8.5, Purport)
