Kṛṣṇa Vilāsinī Devī Dāsī

To Srila Prabhupada,

You have pulled me out of the swirling morass of nescience I was drowning in and forced me to bow down at Your soothing lotus feet. All glories to You, Srila Prabhupada, my most merciful spiritual master, who is selflessly spreading the divine mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. You have out of Your causeless compassion, dipped us in the ocean of bliss and eternity and pierced our dark shell of ignorance with the light of pure knowledge. You have given what no other could give, the beautiful lotus-eyed one with peacock feathers and ankle bells, the blue cowherd boy who charms the entire cosmos with the sweet sound of His flute.

You have kindly made approach to Lord Sri Krsna so easy for the most fallen and desolate. You give us prasadam, dancing, chanting and ask only our life and soul. Please, Srila Prabhupada, engage me always in service of You lotus feet; never let me fall away from Your divine self. You are the only light that can safely guide us through this raging ocean of Kali.

Please accept my most humble obeisances, Srila Prabhupada, for You are most dear to Sri Krsna upon this earth, having taken shelter at His lotus feet. You have delivered to the most arrogant and miserable of beings the full nectarine of in the form of these holy names, Hare Krsna, Hare Rama. Please, therefore, let us open our hearts wide and accept Your causeless mercy.
