Dearest Guru Maharaja,
Nama om vishnu padaya
Krshna presthaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine
Nama acharya padaya
Nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dhama daya
Nagara grama tarine
Please accept my respectful obeisance at your lotus feet on this very auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
All glories into your Divine Grace!!
Happy Vyasa Puja Celebration!!!
You are a Soldier,
A spiritual father and a friend,
A comrade and a pilot,
Great warrior to the end.
If I read the biography of Thee,
I would say myself, “Jiv Jago!
All the Vaishnavas on earth this sacred hour
Deep honor to you will pay.
Not for the conquest, but for spiritual principle,
To shepherd us cross bhavambudhi.
Atheist know not who you are or how
You went to meet death’s hour.
But we know you did not pale or falter,
Nor you did cower.
Here in your grandeur spiritual concert
You grace this Memorable Day.
We know no hymns of prayer,
Nor words of homage to glorify Thee.
The deepest honor a fallen can have
Is your mercy, Oh Gurudev!
Bless us, O Spiritual Master!
As we pay obeisance at your lotus feet.
Under Scorching Sun, clear skies,
May we serve Krishna long and forever!
May we do not walk unknowing,
The risk upon our path.
For Thou travels with us,
Each and every day.
O Nectar of Mercy,
I am eternally indebted to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna for connecting me to you and allowing me to be in your spiritual daughter.
I, the most insignificant, sinner, ignorant, egoistic, corrupted, ill feeling soul don't really know what is good or bad, what to accept or to reject, when to be stubborn or when to be flexible. I bow to your Lotus feet and honestly plead for your causeless mercy. Please help your downtrodden child to be pure, qualified disciple; so that I always remember that I am the insignificant servant of the servant of the Supreme Lord and be able to fix my mind on Gouranga's Lotus feet. Also please guide this fallen soul to come to light and engage in distributing your bliss Harinam Sankirtan. You are so merciful that anyone who is most sinner and offender can be faultless by your look. Please forgive me for all the known and unknown offended I committed.
Your most insignificant servant,
Vaisnavi (Shelter, East London, United Kingdom)
