Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Although I am not qualified to speal anything about your magnanimous glories, for my own purification I present my humble attempt below in the form of a poem, with utmost sincerity:
Identifying with the bag of blood, pus and stool
Blinded and Illusioned, I've become a great fool
A servant of Maya, my mind and senses
One after another - commiting offenses
Always hankering for that which is non-permanent
Pain, Misery and suffering in the future is imminent
Ke ami - Ke amar, this I do not know
Constant tribulations - why must I undergo?
Wandering about the universe, according to my Karma
Inquiring the absolute truth - Sanatana Dharma
Oh my Lord Krishna, you are most compassionate
Gave me the association of your confidential associate
By your causeless mercy, you have planted the seed
Instructed me to chant on the holy beads
Four regulative principles I must follow
No onion, no garlic - a tough pill to swallow!
Chanting of the Holy Names - the only remedial measure
Devotional Ecstasy, highest form of pleasure
Straight from Goloka - it's the spiritual treasure
For the material disease - perfect countermeasure
Lust anger greed pride envy illusion and fear
When I follow your instructions, they do not come near
Three times a day - just as the Thakura prescribed
In all the vedic literatures, may you be glorified
Crossing over the material nescience is no ordinary feat
Therefore I humbly surrender unto your lotus feet
They are my boat to the supreme destination
The perfection of my life for spiritual emancipation
Embodiment of Krishna prema - deliverer of the fallen
Kindly bestow your mercy on this most downtrodden
May I remain your eternal servant in Nitai's marketplace
O exemplary victory flag of His Divine Grace!
Your insignificant servants
