Dear Srila Prabhupada,
All glories to the Golden Vaisnava, Jagat Guru, Srila Prabhupada, from whose lotus feet emanates this wondrous fountain of Sri Krsna Caitanya Sahkirtana.
Due to Your causeless mercy, Sri Jagannatha, Lord of the universe, now rides annually through the major Western cities. All persons who are fortunate enough to even view the Lord's journey are marked for liberation.
Now everyone has the opportunity to hear the divine name. The prediction of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is every second made more apparent-that in every village and every town the holy names of the Lord will be sung.
Srila Prabhupada, every time you rescue some fallen soul from maya and safely pack him off, back to home, back to Godhead, Mayadevi sings all glories to these wondrous activities You perform in a most humble attitude.
With mundane words
How can I express
The infinite glories
Of Your Divine Grace?

You flood us with mercy
By letting us serve You,
And You've said by this service
We shall always be with You.

Just like a father,
With love and affection
You set the example
of human perfection.

Religious fanatics
May rave and rant,
But You show respect
For even an ant.

In defeating an atheist
You're forceful and bold,
Yet You are so gentle-
You help a child on with his robe.
You're forceful and bold,
Yet You are so gentle-

You came, chanting God's name,
And told us to listen;
You have roused the most fallen-
Lord Caitanya's mission!

The suffering of humanity
You cannot stand,
So please make me able
To serve as Your hand,
You cannot stand,
So please make me able
To serve as Your hand,
And distribute Your mercy
To the poor fallen souls,
Who have no remembrance
Of life's real goal.
To the poor fallen souls,
Who have no remembrance
Of life's real goal.
You said, "Surrender to Krsna
And your perfection is sure;
I give you this message
Now you please keep it pure."
And your perfection is sure;
I give you this message
Now you please keep it pure."
So I beg, please release me
From lust and false pride,
So at Your lotus feet
I may always reside.
From lust and false pride,
So at Your lotus feet
I may always reside.
All glories to the most auspicious day of Vyas Pūja! Seventy-five years ago, this very day, our beloved Guru Maharaja Srila Prabhupada came into this world pure like the lotus flower. Not for one day did He forget Krsna: even as a small child He had His Deities to serve.
Srila Prabhupada, by the order of Your Guru Maharaja You came to this hellish Western world to deliver the message of Vasudeva to everyone-you possessed but a few rupees, a pair of karatalas, the Srimad-Bhagavatam, and so much, so much love for Krsna and for His most fallen and forgetful parts and parcels. And because of Your purity-Your lotus eyes shining for the Lord-so many hearts frustrated by this existence, which does not befit a gentleman, were attracted to the message of Lord Caitanya. They found somebody who knew the truth, able to tell them who they were: "Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, sac-cid-ananda, and we are His parts and parcels, also eternal, full of bliss and knowledge.
You are so compassionate, Srila Prabhupada-now everyone can hear the glories about the son of Nanda, the unalloyed love of Yasoda Mata and the gopis, unsophisticated village girls of Vrajabhumi. Who is God? What does He do? What does He look like? Who are His friends? What are our relationships with Him? Everything you tell us. You want us to remember what is in our heart like a seed: LOVE OF GOD.
Srila Prabhupada-my only hope-I have no ability, no qualification; but You know the art of using everything for Krsna. So please use this bad bargain as You like. May I become more humble, compassionate, tolerant, and try to serve You better.
All glories to Lord Caitanya Sahkirtana!
All glories to Your Divine Grace!
All glories to Srimati Radharani!
Hari Haribol!
