Dear Śrīla Ācāryapāda,
I offer my respectful obeisances unto your beautiful lotus feet. You are very dear to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava. I am a materially contaminated and fallen soul. Please show your mercy to me, so that I can eternally serve your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace and all glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda, who has empowered Your Divine Grace to pick us up from this materially contaminated planet. O my beloved spiritual master, today, on the auspicious day of your appearance, I remember always your beautiful lotus feet. Please keep me in unalloyed devotional service to Śrī Śrī Gaura-Nitāi and Śrī Śrī Kṛṣṇa Balarāma.
Brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva
guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti- latā bīja
Only by your mercy we can get the seed of Kṛṣṇa bhakti, because you are an ocean of mercy and the savior of the most fallen souls.
vrajendra sūta hari
esechen guru rūpa dārī
You are the representative of Kṛṣṇa and you are lifting us from this hellish condition.
gurudev!
boḍo kṛpā kori', gauḍa-vana mājhe,
apnār caraṇe amār sthān diyechen āj
bahu janma ghuria gurudev āj peyechi caraṇ raja
āpni sarva śāstra sunipon
rādhā mādhava gaurāṅger priya jan
nityānanda prabhu nāmer haṭ
sei aggaloye śire raudra jale bisti māddhe
koto kaṣṭa kore pracār kore calechen grām gañja śahare
Gurudeva! Only at your lotus feet, the source of unlimited mercy, can I advance in my spiritual life. Guru Mahārāja, now I am serving Śrī Śrī Kṛṣṇa Balarāma’s lotus feet, only by your mercy. I am praying at your lotus feet for the benediction that I may continue devotional service life after life.
Your most fallen eternal servant,
Subala Śyāma Dāsa Adhikārī
