tuwā adarśana-ahi, garale jāralo dehī, ciro-dina tāpita jīvana hā hā rūpa koro doyā, deho more pada-chāyā, narottama loilo śaraṇa

The lotus feet of Sri Rupa Manjari are my real wealth. They are the object of my bhajana and puja, the treasure of my heart, and they are my ornaments and the very life of my life.

They are the reservoirs of all rasa for me and the fulfillment of all my desires. They are the conclusion of the religion of the Vedas for me and are the goal of all my vows, austerities, and the chanting of my mantra. They are the purpose of all my religious activities.

By the power of those feet my activities will become favorable to devotion, spiritual perfection will be achieved, and with these two eyes I will be able to actually see. The exquisite beauty of Sri Rupa Manjari's divine feet will shine like the brilliant moon upon the lotus of my heart both day and night, thus giving relief to my afflicted soul.

The serpent in the form of separation from You has poisoned my whole body, and my life is permanently miserable. O my Lord, please bestow Your mercy upon me. Give me the shade of Your lotus feet. Narottama dasa takes shelter of You.

(Prarthana Song 16)

O Lord Hari, when will that auspicious day arrive, when I will worship Sri Radha and Krsna, being absorbed in love of God?

I will sing a sweet tune, mixing it with the sound of a beautiful musical instrument and with ecstasy glorify the form and qualities of Radha and Krsna.

I will cry loudly saying "Radhika, Govinda" and my whole body will be wet with tears streaming from my eyes.

O my lords of my life, Sri Rupa, Sanatana, Raghunatha dasa and Sri Jiva; please be merciful on me this time!

O Lalita, O Visakha, please be merciful to me this time! O Sridama, Subala and all the sakhas of Krsna, please be merciful on me!

All of you kindly bless me so that my desires be fulfilled, thus Narottama dasa always prays.

Prabhupada: Where is Tamala?

Hari-sauri: Get Tamala Krsna. He's just coming, Srila Prabhupada. He's in the other room.

Prabhupada: [Transl. Only some bones are left and nothing else.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. We can see that. It is very good that you have come back to braja from the foreign country. This was a good decision.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. They took me to London. I told them my physical condition is not good. I have seen enough opulence of London.]

Hari-sauri: Jaya Srila Prabhupada. Tamala Krsna.

Prabhupada: You have consulted with Narayana Maharaja?

Tamala Krsna: Yes. This morning Bhakti-caru Swami, Bhakti-prema Swami and Sridhara Swami went to see him, and Narayana Maharaja described the ceremony for the departure of a Vaisnava, great Vaisnava soul.

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. I have told them everything meant to be done in detail. I also said if you need me anytime just tell me and I will come.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Inside the gate] ...entrance right side?

Tamala Krsna: The entrance on the left side entering... Looking towards the Deity, it's the left side. In other words, when you come into the temple it's on left side. There's a big open area.

Prabhupada: [Transl. The body should be preserved with salt, etc.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. I have explained to them everything. Everything will be arranged.]

Tamala Krsna: It's on the same side as the vyasasana.

Prabhupada: Ah, yes.

Tamala Krsna: Faces east.

Prabhupada: Puspa, Mayapure, flower.

Tamala Krsna: To Mayapur.

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. I have told them to save some flowers, and wherever you desire…]

Prabhupada: [Transl. You be present and get this done.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. I will be there. You all call me.] You should call me, and I will come.

Tamala Krsna: Yes. He described the entire ceremony in detail, Srila Prabhupada.

Prabhupada: So he knows. When we are ready[?], do it. [Transl. Has Sesasayi taken sannyasa?]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Pardon? Sesasayi is here.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Has Sesasayi taken sannyasa?]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. No he has not taken sannyasa. He is still a brahmacari. You have fulfilled all missions in life. You have accomplished everything. There is no need to worry for anything more. Only Radha-Krsna...]

Prabhupada: [Transl. All of your blessings.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. There is no mission unfulfilled.] You have fulfilled all, everything. [Transl. One thing you have to tell them that they should never quarrel amongst themselves for selfish interest and they should go forward according to your instructions.]

Prabhupada: Don't fight amongst yourselves. I have given the explanation, my will. Execute like that.

Tamala Krsna: Yes, Srila Prabhupada.

Prabhupada: And then everything will be... Krsna will guide. Then what there is. [Transl. Today is] Ekadasi?

Narayana Maharaja: Yes Ekadasi.

Prabhupada: Mahaprabhu-seva [Transl. is going on nicely? Han?]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Pardon?]

Prabhupada: [Transl. My Mahaprabhu Deity from Jhansi?]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Mahaprabhu-seva?]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Mahaprabhu of Jhansi.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Jhansi?]

Prabhupada: [Transl. He is with you.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Yes. Mahaprabhu is with me there. We are taking care of Him nicely. That is one thing I have of yours. We have painted Him nicely and His service is going on nicely.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. I had a great chance to set up in Jhansi. Then I thought that if I have to do it then why not do it in a massive way. I got a good place there too.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Why should you be confined in one place, Jhansi? You should preach all over the world. That desire of the Lord is now fulfilled.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. I thought I will live in Vrndavan like a beggar. But the Supreme Lord inspired me, and at the age of seventy I went out of India alone. This was His desire. Now a huge organization….]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Sri Rupa Gosvami has bestowed special mercy on you. Radha Damodara's mercy.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. …This is another trouble. Such a poor person like me.What will happen and how? Hmm. Hmm.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. You don't have any anxiety in your mind, do you? Any other? Physical?]

Devotee: [Transl. Little cough.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Now I have stopped eating. Almost fasting. Not eating any food.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. To Bhakti-caru: If he asks for water, keep little caranamrta here and give him little little. Also keep some offered tulasi leaves here touching his body.]

Bhakti-caru: [Transl. We have them here.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Yes. Okay.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. No, no. They are the best of all. If one has unalloyed devotion, and even if there is any fault, api cet su-duracaro / bhajate mam ananya-bhak / sadhur eva sa mantavyah. Even if one commits the most abominable action, if he is engaged in devotional service he is to be considered saintly. [To the arrived Guest devotees: Hare Krsna! Please come in. Sit down. Has Bon Maharaja come?]

Indupati: [Transl. Bon Maharaja has gone to Bombay.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Bon Maharaja has gone to Bombay. Indupati Prabhu has come.]

Indupati: [Transl. to Prabhupada: Maharaja, How are you now?]

Prabhupada: [Transl. You can see. The reason for which I called you here, I have already explained to Narayana Maharaja. You hear from him.]

Indupati: [Transl. Okay. Tell me.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Maharaja is having difficulty in speaking. So I will explain to you. He is saying that all of you together guide them little bit so that this mission...]

Prabhupada: [Transl. My first request is that please forgive my offense. I have not commited any offense knowingly, but while preaching sometimes there are arguments and counter arguments.]

Devotee: [Transl. He is hard of hearing.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. He is saying all of you forgive my offense. In the course of preaching if he has used any harse words against anyone then all of you forgive him.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Will you do that?]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Will you do?]

Indupati: [Transl. Yes. Maharaja, we have not taken any offense of yours. You bless us. You have no offense at all.]

Devotee: [Transl. The way you have preached…]

Indupati: [Transl. If anyone thinks like that then they themselves will be at fault.]

Devotee: [Transl. Just returned from London.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. What? What is he saying?]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. He is saying you just came back from London.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Yes.]

Indupati: [Transl. This is the condition. Anyway, whatever the Lord wishes.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. It's good that he came back to Braja by the will of the Lord.]

Indupati: [Transl. Yes.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. I had a program for a world tour, but after going to London my health broke down further. So I said, let me go back immediately.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. These words of yours I will convey to all the disciples of Srila Prabhupada who are still living but not present here. I will convey as it is. They should help and guide them through instructions so that they can peacefully carry on. This I will request them. You do not worry about anything. Just think of the Supreme Lord.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. And also you tell them that according to merit, some donations will be given for holding festival which they will give, but you all sit down and make a list of Temples and Mathas. This is the point. You explain.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Did you understand what he said?]

Bhakti-caru: [Transl. Yes, I will explain.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Indupati, Maharaja, did you hear what I said?]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Yes I have heard. I am telling them. After his disappearance, a festival in honor of him should be held. The money for that will be given by the devotees here. We should make sure that this festival is organized in a proper manner. To Prabhupada: I have one request to you that now you please do not think or worry about any of these things. You forget all other matters. These devotees are quiet competent. Your desire is now known to everyone. Now let there be constant remembrance of the Supreme Lord. There is no need to think of anything else further. You have done everything already. The way you have intoxicated the whole world in the holy name of Krsna, there is no doubt that your supreme destination is guaranteed. Now we take your leave.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Take little prasada.]

Narayana Maharaja: [Transl. Okay, we will take it.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Please take here in front of me.]

Bhakti-caru: [Transl. Srila Prabhupada. I am going to arrange for prasada.]

Prabhupada: [Transl. Go and bring it here.]

Bhakti-caru: [Transl. Yes.]

Tamala Krsna: You'd like kirtana now, Srila Prabhupada? Hamsaduta?

[Hamsaduta leads Sri-guru-carana-padma.]

Hari-sauri: Do you want your beads, Srila Prabhupada? [end]
