Svarūpa dāsa Brahmacārī

Bhaktivinode had one son whose name was Bhaktisiddhanta;
The divine spiritual master of A.C. Bhaktivedanta.
As a child he was placed before Lord Jagannathaji;
The Lord's garland fell upon him mercifully.
He recited the Gita at the age of seven,
Which clearly shows that he was sent from heaven.
As a spiritual master he was very strict;
He allowed no nonsense and mystic yogic tricks.

Our Prabhupada was reluctant to see him that day;
However, being persuaded by his friend, he went anyway.
Just that second of association with Srila Sarasvati,
Was the beginning of Prabhupada's service to root the maya-vadi.
"Go to the Western world and preach this teaching there;
Every town and city will chant as is Caitanya's prayer."
Their intimate relationship developed thick and thin;
Prabhupada would chant japa in the room with him.
And so it came to pass from this world Sarasvati departed,
But not before he told Prabhupada to get started.
It is his order only that Prabhupada is here,
Who taught us Hare Krsna which brings our love so near.
As we have accepted Prabhupada in humble submission,
Now Bhaktisiddhanta is our grandfather in disciplic succession.
We can only thank you, dearest grandfather Bhaktisiddhanta,
Thank you for giving us Prabhupada, the topmost paramahamsa
