Hare Krishna dear Gurudev
Please accept my humble obeisances
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to You
Oh bright light of mercy
I am in awe of your kindness and love upon us
You are so dear to Srila Prabhupada
And to Lord Chaitanya
Constantly spreading His Glories
Your determination is astonishing
And so very inspiring
Despite so many health obstacles
You continue
Unwavered and so determined
Your love for Krishna and for his devotees
Is immense
Like an ocean of mercy
Ever increasing
Always trying to please your Gurudev, Srila Prabhupada
You are developing Sri Mayapur dham so nicely
And always distributing Srila Prabhupada's books
Once during a lecture in Mayapur
I was fortunate to be present in
I saw such purity in you
And now you have taken me as your disciple
I am so fallen yet you have given me such unfathomable mercy
You said we are connected
Heart to heart
And soul to soul
You said you love us
I love you too dear Gurumaharaj
Please bless me to live up to this love
And serve you, the Vaishnavas,
Srila Prabhulada and Radha Shyamsundar
With a heart full of love and gratitude
I will endeavour to make your instructions my very life and soul
And to assist you in your mission of pleasing Srila Prabhupada
Falling at the dust of your lotus feet
I offer you my most humble obeisances
Your insignificant servant and spiritual daughter,
Candravadana Radha Devi dasi, South Africa
