Oh dear spiritual master! Thank you for united foundation you maintain,
Guiding the journey of life, you are the director, savior, our ship’s captain!
A heart where Gaurāṅga dwells, full of compassion so vast,
For all, sane or insane, spreading love so steadfast!
In That one life, spiritual strength we find,
Travel, preach, speak tirelessly, leaving bodily platform behind.
You are a mission with faith, Śrīla Prabhupāda’s purpose to attain,
Unending cloud of GauraNitāi’s mercy, shower like torrential rain!
You are Jayapatākā swami, a victory flag so divine,
Conquering the disease of material world, making all fine.
Winning mine, yours, everyone’s, even atheists’ heart,
Above all you have gloriously won sweet Kṛṣṇa’s heart!
In that one instruction of yours, my lifeline secure,
“Either preach about Lord or be preached by māyā’s allure”
‘You are our spiritual father!’ we proudly say,
How proud we shall make you? That’s our pay!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to You!
Happy Vyāsa-pūjā Śrīla Guru Mahārāja!
Yours spiritual daughter,
Sadānāndinī Yoginī devī dāsī (Dīkṣā)
