Tamāla Kṛṣṇa Gosvāmī, Personal Secretary to Śrīla Prabhupāda, GBC-Northeast USA, China

All glories, all glories
To our beloved lord,
Who appeared in lokanatha Mullick's home
By his own sweet accord.

Jagannatha in procession
With young friends he did play;
Now introduced throughout the world-
Ratha-yatra Day.

Sri Radha-Krsna arcane
From his father he did imbibe,
Installed Them in all nations,
Mankind purified.

Krsns consciousness movement,
Your banner is unfurled.
Mahaprabhu's message
Now over floods the world.

Your books, praised by scholars,
Act as cintamai stones,
Create Vaikuntha atmosphere
In all your reader's homes.

Bhagavad-gita As It Is
Krsna unalloyed,
Speculators, interpreters,
Cheaters-all destroyed.

You condemn them without exception,
No one dares reply:
"Anthill civilization,
Sva-viḍ-varahostra-kharaiḥ."

Mayapur's planetarium,
Vrndavana Krsna-Balarama,
Bombay science joins culture
Broadcasting hari-nama.

Blessed are the devotees
Who shelter at thy Feet,
A life imbued with bhakti
Krsna surely meet.

Your Grace, like the sun
Illuminates the day,
Blind, a fallen soul,
Your mercy I do pray.
