All glories to you Srila Prabhupada!
You've shown us how to go to God
We once were blind and didn't know
But now you've shown us how to go.
You've shown us how to go to God
We once were blind and didn't know
But now you've shown us how to go.
In twelve years you have shown us more
Than anyone, any time before
Around the world Krsna was unknown
Now everywhere the seeds are sown.

Now everywhere the seeds are sown.
You've shown us how to chant and dance
Instead of drugs and false romance
You've given us a higher taste
Instead of making life a waste.

At one time we were cats and dogs
Pleasures enjoyed even by hogs
Now all the world they think like this
Never desiring transcendental bliss.

But we have had a change of heart
And now with you we'll never part
Our love for you is so intense
We know of nothing so immense.
And now with you we'll never part
Our love for you is so intense

So now we've made the right decision
To help you fill Caitanya's mission
We must make sure your books they get
At least one book if not a set.

In downtowns, airports or in a lot
We make sure that a book they've got
And now with sets it's door to door
To make sure they'll have even more.

We sometimes travel town to town
To save them from their journey down
To sell your books we go so many places
Realizing the need (from the looks on their faces).

In every village and in every town
Kali is there proudly wearing his crown
Sex! Gambling! Intoxicants! and Meat!
He rules the whole town on a golden seat.

Sex! Gambling! Intoxicants! and Meat!
He rules the whole town on a golden seat.
He can't believe what he sees when he looks
For he's scared to death at the sight of your books
O Prabhupada! Your books are so great!
That Kali is crushed by their virtuous weight.

Quote: "Book distribution marathon is really intoxication"
But this is going beyond imagination
As the mode of goodness goes from bitter to sweet
Now we enjoy going out in the street.

Now we enjoy going out in the street.
And as we go on pumping books every day
We find with each book comes a pleasure to stay
And now we can see that from this book program
That jivas are empowered to become superman (see any SKP newsletter).

Because of our book distribution careers
We know soon devotees won't be pioneers
We are confident that this will all come about
Because of your preaching. Without a doubt!

We know that someday if we just go on
Krsna will come with us on sahkirtana
As for the future if we have a choice
We'll be your eternal paperboys.

Prabhupada, we are so sorry you have left, but we promise to always follow your instructions, and in that way we know that you'll always stay with us. Thank you for saving us.
