nāma oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya Kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine
gaura-kathā dhāma dāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
"I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains."
Dear Guru Maharāj,
Please accept my respectful and humble obeisances on to your lotus feet. My small offering to you on this blessed day....
Victory flag, a glorious one
Srila Prabhupada’s dear son
Always Fluttering in high spirits
Attacking Māya in all its merits
Rising above the horizons so high
Helping our bhakti creeper climb high
From Gordon John to Gaur Dhan Jana
You are one among Gaurāṅga’s clan
Prabhupāda’s dancing “white elephant”
To preaching in Bengāli so fluent
You reside in every disciple’s heart
Your Love and Compassion fervent
You took away our karmas
As you led us through Parikramā
You joined Kṛṣṇa’s army
With Huge kartals as your armour
From a world of Māyā to Māyāpur
You gave us a world of TOVP
We watched you Never Give up
We watched how Māya Gave up
Nāmahaṭṭa, Bhakti Vṛkṣa to spiritual Safari
You took us on the path of limitless joy
With your daily class on Caitanya Līla
You gave us an entry to Gaur Līla
You are an epitome of devotee care
Devotees heart blissfully flare
You travelled the globe
To take us toward Kṛṣṇa's abode
You endeavour to fulfil all the instructions
You sheltered us and gave initiations
As Māya plays her trick
You blessed us with Jagannātha's stick
Nothing could stop you in this mission
As you gave Guru Paramparā’s admission
Raising your hands, loudly you call out Gaurāṅga Nityānanda
Nourishing our hearts with real Ānanda
Fifty years of service to Holy Dhām
To spreading the Holy Nāma
Continuing to Inspire many souls
As Fulfilling Prabhupāda instructions are your Life and soul
In this world full of misery
The only solace is your mercy
As preaching is your feat
So are anartha’s defeat
Prabhupāda said preaching is the essence
You proved it as your quintessence
Bodily pangs on you keep lingering
But your consciousness is unfathoming
You gave us Showers of nectar
As Your compassion is beyond vector
Today is a happy day, your Vyāsapūja day
For your mercy, I humbly pray
To help me serve and please you my dear spiritual master
The way you served and pleased your spiritual master
Your insignificant spiritual daughter
