Hare Kṛṣṇa! My Dearmost Guru Mahārāja!
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto Your Divine lotus feet!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you!
All glories to Your auspicious appearance day!
I am writing this poem as a homage to you for the most auspicious appearance day of yours. Kindly forgive me if there is any mistake and please accept it, if you so desire. Here it goes, ĀCĀRYAPĀDA
My Guru Mahārāja,
Prabhupāda's greatest soldier,
Is the one who never fails to set a new record,
Always being exemplary, he is showing us our way to God.
An invincible warrior of Śrīla Prabhupāda,
whose sincere servant I want to be...
is a divine soul whose one glance can make our anarthas flee.
Minutes, hours, weeks, months, years and decades...
From Māyāpur to entire globe,
From classes to blessings,
From meetings to correspondence,
From studying to getting degrees,
What not he's doing to give us all these mercies!
How fortunately grateful it is to feel being His Spiritual daughter,
Saving me from all insurmountable miseries, who told me not to fear.
By not letting me fall into perilous ditch,
He's always protecting me with his loving care!
The endless glories of my master is All-worshipable ĀCĀYAPĀDA,
Hear my plea,
Let the shade of your divine lotus feet my only shelter,
Please bless me to always serve thee!
Your insignificant daughter,
Priyasakhi Citralekhā Devī Dāsī (dīkṣā)
