Australian BBT TSKP

1)
Envious of Krsna
That's why we're here
Transforming love
To birth, death and fear
Struggling forever
In this foreign place
No hope for deliverance
Except His Grace.

2)
Like a lightning flash
You appeared from above
The light of the world
Full of Krsna's love
Descending in glory
In preceptorial line
Avatara of mercy
With mission divine.

3)
"Surrender to Krsna!"
Message to the world,
Now, due to you
A household word
Black man, white man
Christian, Jew
Banners united
Prema-bhakti the clue.

4)
Greater than Brahman
Sastras declare,
Proved by your prowess
Even we shaved our hair!
Lord Buddha and Saṅkara
In lifetimes changed
A country's lifestyle
From minds deranged
Now in twelve short years
'Cross the face of the globe
You've put Radha and Krsna's
Transcendental abode.

5)
You instructions to us
The essence's to preach
Cooperatively distributing books
Fallen souls they'll reach
Utility the principle
Remaining pure our force
You're the Lord in our heart
Directing our course.

6)
No credit is ours
From ignorance we've come
But we'll push on your books
Till "Thy will be done"
They will, full of kindness
'Tis to please Lord Hari
By delivering His children
To sweet eternity.

7)
Still envious of Krsna
But now I know why
Your presence makes darkness
The spiritual sky
Like a window
Revealing our Lord
According to faith,
Executing your word.

8)
Now you have gone
It isn't the same
sastra says "vani, vapuh"
Your saṅga I claim
"Adore, adore ye all"
The blessed day
You appeared in this world
Your Divine Grace.
