Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
All glories to you Guru Mahārāja!!!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!!
Your lotus feet, Your Divine Grace
Dispelled all off my material chase
Your simple words, profound meaning
My contaminated self, underwent cleaning
My only inspiration
Your divine perspiration
Your dedication to the Lord
Are cutting my material knots
With the sharpest of sword
I eagerly look forward to your classes
When reviving my Bhakti
They are my prescription glasses
Please guide me, a fallen soul
Letting me realise my devotional goal
Śrīla Prabhupāda your inspiration
Over 50 years of your dedication
How can I not be motivated!
The love of Godhead cannot be satiated
Please guide me Guru Mahārāja
Let me not seek an illusory mirage
I beg you for granting initiation
I am aspiring, seeking your Lotus feet’s shelter
Take me along with on a forever blissful continuation
Yasya prasāda bhagavat-prasado
Yasyaprasāda na gati kuto ‘pi
I am a conditioned soul since long ago
Only your blessing is a guarantee.
Your humble servant, begging for your mercy,
Śrinivasan Iyer [Śrī] (aspiring disciple)
