Calcutta

Srila Prabhupada,
You are just like a sun. You rise over the earth planet to give the light of saṅkirtana, the chanting of the Lord's Holy Name.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are like the cow who will give milk in any pasture. Anywhere in the world you may go, you are giving the milk of love of Radha and Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are like the bee who hovers around the lotus flower; you are drinking the nectar of the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya, but instead of hiding it away like the bee, you let the honey flow without stop from your mouth in the shape of the glories of Radha and Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the perfect guide; you have taken our hands and are so gently bringing us to the lotus feet of our Lord Sri Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the light of devotion pervading the entire universe. Only in the presence of that light can we see ourselves as eternal, blissful servants of Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha and Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the servant of the gopis, the bringer of ecstasy; were each day with you a night of Brahma, we would only long for more hours to serve you.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are like the touchstone which changes iron into gold; you are transforming our hard iron hearts into molten gold, shining with the love of Radha and Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are most dear to everyone, and the most merciful being in this world. All glories to you.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the most kind to fallen souls; you've lifted us from material bondage and have taught us how to engage in Krsna's service; we will serve you birth after birth without any condition.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are so transcendentally situated on your Vyasasana, just waiting patiently for your children to come home, a brilliant jewel, dissipating the dark night of Kali.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are our only shelter; there is no love or happiness except at your lotus feet. Please let us always satisfy your desire, which is solely to please our Lord Sri Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the shelter of all fallen souls. We are hankering after your blessing which will turn our mind, body and soul unto Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the messenger of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You have taught us how to worship Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, the highest pleasure of life. Kindly let us live under the shadow of your lotus feet.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the protector of all surrendered souls and the well-wisher of all devotees. May we please remain at your lotus feet forever.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are everything to us; without you there is nothing.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the reservoir of all knowledge, and the most confidential servitor of Sri Gauraṅga Mahaprabhu and all His associates, such as the Six Gosvamis headed by Srila Rupa Gosvami. You are distributing their message of the nectar of devotional service. Your love for them carries you all over the world, giving this most precious gift.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the love of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, who was thinking always how to spread Krsna consciousness. And you have appeared to carry on this great mission.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the only ray of hope for the people in their presently degraded and suffering condition. Due to the contact of this contaminated material atmosphere, we are forgetting Krsna, and you have graciously come to remind us.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the life of those sincere souls, who have surrendered; you are the source of our energy, knowledge and love for the Lord, which enables us to serve you with undying faith and determination.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are like a desire tree which fulfills all desires. And you are fulfilling our innermost heart's desire-namely service at the lotus feet of the Holy Couple, Sri Sri Radha and Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the most dear to Srimati Radharani and by your mercy She is showering us with Her blessings in the form of entrance into the service of Her Lord Sri Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada,
You are the undoubtedly the most magnanimous personality, to have accepted such fallen souls as us. We have been waiting in eternity just to take refuge in the dust of your lotus feet.

We are all humbly begging to eternally remain in the cooling shade of your lotus feet.
