Glorification of Guru Maharaj on His Vyasa Puja, April 23, 2021
Nama Om Vishnu-padaya Krsna-presthaya bhu-tale,
Srimate Jayapataka Swamin iti namine.
Nama Acharya padaya Nitai Kripa pradayine,
Gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine.
Dearest Guru Maharaj,
Please accept our respectful prostrated obeisances to your lotus feet.
All Glories to your auspicious appearance day on Kamada Ekadashi.
Guru Maharaj,
Although we consider ourselves most fallen and ineligible to glorify you, we are offering these verses on the auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja.
O Spiritual master! You are the Spiritual Doctor,
For All of us conditioned and diseased,
May You deliver us,
And shower mercy on us if you are pleased.
Material doctors treat mind and body,
Charge heavily and without any after-life deal,
And You, the Transcendental Doctor of spirit “Soul”,
Charge “Harinaam” only, which soul takes to another body with a seal.
You have defied your material indispositions,
Stroke, Transplants, Tracheostomy, Basal cell,
Which are all impossible for any material being,
And You took these as opportunities to spread love for Gauranga from Mayapur to Montreal.
Three-fold miseries afflict the soul,
Despite this we want to get more,
May You stop birth-death-birth cycle,
And get us engaged in Krishna consciousness activities days seven and hours twenty-four.
You are a “touchstone” of Srila Prabhupada,
Who transforms material beings revive their eternal spiritual position,
To get back their Love for “Krishna”,
And keep away “Maya’s” temporary infatuation.
Hey Gurudev! Incline us towards service of Shri Guru and Gauranga,
Help us get rid of all material designations,
And imbibe within us the Teachings of Lord Chaitanya,
Give us determination! Please, Give us determination.
Please bless us to engage ourselves in your service, and chanting, hearing and reading for Krishna.
All Glories to the Spiritual Master!
Your insignificant servants
