Prayer unto the Lotus Feet of Krsna
by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on board the ship Jaladuta, September 13, 1965 I emphatically say to you, O brothers, you will obtain your good fortune from the Supreme Lord Krsna only when Srimati Radharani becomes pleased with you.
sri-siddhanta saraswati saci-suta priya ati
krsna-sebaya jara tula nai sei se mohanta-guru jagater madhe uru krsna-bhakti dey thai thai Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, who is very dear to Lord Gauranga, the son of mother Saci, is unparalleled in his service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krsna. He is that great saintly spiritual master who bestows intense devotion to Krsna at different places throughout the world.
tara iccha balavan pascatyete than than
hoy jate gauranger nam prthivite nagaradi asamudra nada nadi sakalei loy krsna nam By his strong desire, the holy name of Lord Gauranga will spread throughout all the countries of the Western world. In all the cities, towns, and villages on the earth, from all the oceans, seas, rivers, and streams, everyone will chant the holy name of Krsna.
tahale ananda hoy tabe hoy digvijay
caitanyer krpa atisay maya dusta jata duhkhi jagate sabai sukhi vaisnaver iccha purna hoy As the vast mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu conquers all directions, a flood of transcendental ecstasy will certainly cover the land. When all the sinful, miserable living entities become happy, the Vaisnavas' desire is then fulfilled.
se karja je koribare ajna jadi dilo more
jogya nahi an dina hina tai se tomara krpa magitechi anurupa aji numi sabar pravina Although my Guru Maharaja ordered me to accomplish this mission, I am not worthy or fit to do it. I am very fallen and insignificant. Therefore, O Lord, now I am begging for Your mercy so that I may become worthy, for You are the wisest and most experienced of all.
tomara se sakti pele guru-sebaya bastu mile
jibana sarthak jadi hoy sei se seva paile tahale sukhi hale taba sanga bhagyate miloy If You bestow Your power, by serving the spiritual master one attains the Absolute Truth-one's life becomes successful. If that service is obtained, then one becomes happy and gets Your association due to good fortune.
evam janam nipatitam prabhavahikupe
kamabhikamam anu yah prapatan prasangat krtvatmasat surarsina bhagavan grhitah so 'ham katham nu visrje tava bhrtya-sevam My dear Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, because of my association with material desires, one after another, I was gradually falling into a blind well full of snakes, following the general populace. But Your servant Narada Muni kindly accepted me as his disciple and instructed me how to achieve this transcendental position. Therefore, my first duty is to serve him. How could I leave his service? (Prahlada Maharaja to Lord Nrsimhadeva, Bhag. 7.9.28)
tumi mor cira sathi bhuliya mayar lathi
khaiyachi janma-janmantare aji punah e sujoga jadi hoy jogayoga tabe pari tuhe milibare O Lord Krsna, You are my eternal companion. Forgetting You, I have suffered the kicks of maya birth after birth. If today the chance to meet You occurs again, then I will surely be able to rejoin You.
tomara milane bhai abar se sukha pai
gocarane ghuri din bhor kata bane chutachuti bane khai lutaputi sei din kabe habe mor O dear friend, in Your company I will experience great joy once again. In the early morning I will wander about the cowherd pastures and fields. Running and frolicking in the many forests of Vraja, I will roll on the ground in spiritual ecstasy. Oh when will that day be mine?
aji se subidhane tomara smarana bhela
baro asa dakilam tai ami tomara nitya-dasa tai kori eta asa tumi bina anya gati nai Link to this page: https://prabhupadabooks.com/diaries/jaladuta/8/jd_8.1_prayer_unto_the_lotus_feet_of_krsna
