“A PERFECT ĀCĀRYA”
A pure devotee in the line of disciplic succession, who came down on this earth with love and devotion, you distribute divine blessings without discrimination this is your beauty in my estimation.
Under the expert guidance of your spiritual master, planting the devotional seed as an expert gardener, you are a truthful person who never breaks His word of honour. This is your beauty, we love forever. When we see you in joyous SAṄKĪRTANA, We forget everything except your Śrī Caraṇa. You weep for Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī; beyond caste and creed you preach GAURA VĀṆĪ.
O,My beloved Godbrother,
How nicely you serve Krishna, hour by hour. Your lotus face is a newly blossomed flower, You are my ever well-wisher.
The sincere soul will carry out your message:
This is the only way to cut out the material bondage.
You distribute the ‘Highest Prema’, even in this age.
Your devotion and dedication for Prabhupāda is put of range.
Śrīla Ācāryapāda, my desire is to serve you better.
I am fully dependant on your power.
I do not know how to serve my spiritual master:
Please mould this fallen soul as you desire.
Your most fallen Godbrother,
Saṅkarṣaṇa Dāsa
