Vyāsa-pūjā 1987

Bhaktilatā Devī Dāsī (Bangalore, Hare Kṛṣṇa Hill Temple - India)

All glories to Śrīla Ācāryapāda, pure devotee of Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
He has a vision of The Truth
And knows the Supreme Lord, Who has risen
In His Golden Form in Śrīdhāma Māyāpur.
Placing the Lotus Feet of his Golden Lord within his heart.
He moves all over the universe distributing
His pure, transcendental Name.

 

Unto the Lotus Feet of Lord Chaitanya
I make this humble prayer
Please protect my beloved spiritual master
To fulfill his desire to spread
Your Glory far and wide.

 

All glories to Śrīla Ācāryapāda, the perfect spiritual master:
He has accepted all kinds of sinful persons,
Seen them in their true identity —
To guide and instruct them back to Godhead;
Standing ahead — a perfect example
For all to follow without any fear.

 

Unto the lotus feet of Lord Nityānanda
I make this humble prayer —
Please protect my beloved spiritual master
In his struggle to save us conditioned souls
So, many, many more, may get the shelter of his lotus Feet.
All Glories to Śrīla Ācāryapāda, perfect disciple of Śrīla Prabupada:
Like a little child he stands
At the feet of his spiritual father -
At attention to his smallest instruction
Filling the hours, the years, in his service —
His life’s only goal to satisfy his master.

 

Unto the Lotus Feet of Śrī Advaita Gosāi
I make this humble prayer —
Please protect my beloved spiritual master
In his endeavor to please Śrīla Prabhupāda
And give this perfect son the strength To save his father’s mission.
All glories to Śrīla Ācāryapāda, the perfect instrument of Guru and Gaurāṅga:
Toiling from dawn to dusk With never a thought for himself,
He engages all his senses for the pleasure of his Lord and master.
Bereft of any trace of envy, lust or greed He is fully surrendered;
Wasting not a moment, moving not a muscle But for Their pleasure.

Unto the Lotus Feet of Śrī Gadādhara I make this humble prayer —
Please protect my beloved spiritual master
To establish the glorious Saṅkīrtana In this fallen age
In every nook and corner of the universe.
All glories to Śrīla Ācāryapāda, the perfect Vaiṣṇava:
With deep compassion and profound vision
He sees every jīva as part of his Lord;
Giving each one his due respect
He engages them in Kṛṣṇa’s service.
Humbler than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree
He never plays the master -
Always a servant of the servant.

At the Lotus Feet of Śrī Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita
I make this humble prayer –
Please protect my beloved spiritual master
So that he may inspire every soul with his purity,
Save them from this tumultuous material ocean
And place them at the service of Guru and Gaurāṅga.

Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Prabhu Nityānanda
Śrī Advaita Gadhadhara Śrīvāsādi gaura bhakta vṛndā,
I submit this humble prayer to Thee —
Please protect my beloved spiritual master
So he may succeed in his life’s endeavor:
Fulfilling Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission —
The Universal Plan.

Paying my humble obeisances at your lotus feet, dear master, I stand before you a beggar - Please give me alms of devotional service and let me remain at your lotus feet eternally.

Most humbly, your servant eternally,

Bhaktilatā Devī Dāsī
