om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya
caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namaḥ
The mrdahga sounds all over the world. In every town big or small the devotees are singing the holy names. In the ear of every conditioned soul this transcendental vibration is penetrating. The prediction of Lord Caitanya is being accomplished, as well as the desire of your spiritual master.
In the middle of this dense and permanent darkness of Kali-yuga, when everybody was completely sleeping, you came like a true father. Conscious of the danger, you made us awaken from our horrible nightmare.
jiva jago, jiva jago, goracahda bole
kota nidra jao maya-pisaccira kole
"Wake up sleeping souls!
Wake up, sleeping souls!
How long will you sleep on the lap
of the witch called maya?"
You have awakened us and continuously you are giving us the mercy of your instructions. But because of our bad habits we do not carry them out correctly. We are only an obstacle making your mission difficult.
How to thank you enough for what you are doing for us? To be humble, you have explained to us, one must be humble. But the example is your example: "I cannot be God, for I truly am small, but He kindly allows me to serve Him, that's all."
In this material world, people are trying to form different groups, political societies, religions, etc., without being conscious that in this way they are strengthening the chains that are already imprisoning them.
You have been our true liberator, because you are "Jagad-guru-guru of the universe-bringing us the message of Lord Krsna as it is:
sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucaḥ
"Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear." [Bg 18.66] And you said "That is His mercy transcendental and sweet. Take it... be happy!
Always bestowing your unlimited mercy, you are giving humanity the biggest reservoir of love in your incomparable translations of Vedic literature.
Thus, we only ask the space to be an atom at your lotus feet and the opportunity to serve you eternally.
jaya om visnu-pada paramahamsa
parivrajakacarya astottara-sata sri srimad
bhaktivedanta gosvami maharaja
Srila Prabhupada ki jaya
"One hundred and eight glories to the wandering mendicant, to the great bhakta who resembles a swan, to the glorious master Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja Prabhupada, who has taken refuge at the lotuslike feet of Visnu."
