Please accept my respectful obeisance at your lotus feet on this very auspicious day of your Vyāsa Pūjā.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!
All glories unto your Divine Grace!!
Happy Vyāsa Pūjā Celebration Dear Gurudeva!!!
The life that I have
Is all that you gave.
The love that I have
Is all that you show.
Hand in hand you walk with me:
When things go wrong
As they are meant to be
Hand in hand you walk with me:
When I trudge simple road
As they all seem up hill
Hand in hand you walk with me:
With life’s twists and turns
Makes me learn.
Hand in hand you walk with me:
Many failures come about:
Having me stick it out.
Hand in hand you walk with me:
Speaking the dreams of things
That can’t be undone.
Hand in hand you walk with me:
To drop the first seed of devotion
For it to grow as tree of prema!
Hand in hand you walk with me:
Facing high crags and mountainous steep
Making me traverse.
Hand in hand you walk with me:
When hit with heavy tests and trails,
Life gets tougher and tougher.
Hand in hand you walk with me:
Holding on tight and firm
For every māyā’s battle
Hand in hand you walk with me:
Guiding at every service unto
The lotus feet of the divine couple!
O Nectar of Mercy,
We are eternally indebted to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Kṛṣṇa for connecting us to you and allowing us to be your spiritual daughter, son, and grandson.
We, the most insignificant, sinner, ignorant, egoistic, corrupted, ill feeling souls do not really know what is good or bad, what to accept or to reject, when to be stubborn or when to be flexible. We bow to your lotus feet and honestly plead for your causeless mercy. Please help us downtrodden children to be pure, qualified disciples; so that we always remember that we are the insignificant servant of the servant of the Supreme Lord and be able to fix our mind on Gaurāṅga’s lotus feet. Also please guide us fallen souls to come to light and engage in distributing your bliss, Harināma Saṅkīrtana. You are so merciful that anyone who is most sinner and offender can be faultless by your glance. Please forgive us for all the known and unknown offenses we committed.
Your most insignificant servant,
