chance, no

With the Absolute Truth in Your blessed Hand,
chanting and dancing across the land!
Thinking Yourself the most fallen,
The lowest beggar at the feet of Your spiritual master,
But You are part of the mahatma tree
Which is eternally giving the conditioned souls
The most relishable fruits of krsna-prema.
You are the most humble and kind and merciful!
You are begging everybody to take the most precious gem:
The Hare Krsna mantra.
The demigods churned the milky ocean,
First came poison, next precious stones, then the moon;
And later on, the kalpa-taru which grants everything wished for.
All these were discarded by the gods in favor of the nectar, amrta,
For securing which they had embarked on their great endeavor.
Similarly You have given the world
The most essential teaching of the Scriptures:
Chanting the mahamantra as taught by Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu,
Leaving aside the unessential things;
Lecturing non-stop, without caring for the occasional flop,
At a frantic pace, Your Divine Grace,
Your wonderful face glowing like the sun
Illuminating all directions with its light,
Conquering us all, without a fight.
Your heart overflows with nectarean bliss
Upon hearing the pastimes of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna.
So it has happened that Thee, O Graceful Prabhupada,
Have risen like the sun in the Eastern horizon,
Illuminating the hearts of all with pure love for Krsna.
You are the one who has the power from Lord Krsna to give all living entities eternal liberation.
We offer our humble obeisances again and again to You, because You are a pure devotee of Krsna, we respect You always. O Srila Prabhupada, who is so much absorbed in transcendental love
That Krsna can't leave You even for the time of a breath.
You who are the attraction of Radharani.
By the waves of devotional service,
Overflowing the conditioned souls
With an ocean of Grace!
You, who stays in life only for the service that You render to Govinda.
Because You are the kindest man in the world, You give everything, whether to beast, boy, or girl;
Even dogs like us can have some, if only we would accept it!
Our burned-out hearts full of materialistic dilemma,
Because of You, we know that we must chant Hare Krsna!
No one would tell us except the Lord Himself,
But our ears were deaf to Him millions of lifetimes ago - - -
You know.
Krsna has given You to us
And Y1ou have given Him,
We like You very much.
By the mercy of Your greatness and purity,
You can deliver all the fallen souls.
Your greatness is recognized by all the demigods,
And You are the most dear to Sri Krsna and Srimati Radharani,
You are such a rare soul, who knows Krsna as He is.
By Your grace alone, we have the chance to taste
These wonderful fruits of love
Coming down from the desire-trees in sweet kirtana.
We pray for the time when we might follow
Your most humble example
By becoming Krsna conscious,
Helping our blessed brothers
Rather than hindering them,
We pray that very soon we will be able to use
every second in Your service rather than to dream
About illusory sense gratification and personal prestige.
Please accept this humble prayer-
Let us ever lie prostrate
Beneath the dust of Your lotus feet.
A single word from Your sanctified lips
Can turn a gloomy night into a fresh spring afternoon!
You have come to lead us all back to Home
Back to Godhead,
To the tulasi-scented forests of Sri Vrndavana.
Please have mercy on these lowly fools called:    (More...)
