Śrīla Prabhupāda's Traveling Party

We are thoroughly diseased men,
Hoping to become healthy again,
Drowning in ignorance and passion,
Overburdened with sinful reaction.

So many offenses we have committed.
In the spiritual world will we be permitted?
For us, there is not a single chance
Without your fully satisfied glance.

Falling to the ground many times each day,
Ready to endeavor as you say,
Constantly remembering you are no ordinary person,
Thinking otherwise, our disease will only worsen.

You are greater than the demigods by all measure.
Satisfying you is actually real pleasure.
We sincerely beg to stay
At your lotus feet every step, every day.

Boldly giving up all personal consideration,
You travel extensively from nation to nation,
Preaching by day and writing books by night.
There has never been a man of such might.

Smashing atheists, scientists and bogus gurus,
And establishing facts, eternal truths.
You either convince them or they flee away in fear
If they read your books, their minds become clear.

Your books astound the greatest of learned men,
Introducing them to their dearmost friend.
Translating these books, you are going through great pains,
Showering pure knowledge on our dull-headed brains.

We pray to assist you in these most tremendous deeds,
By providing for every one of your needs.
We sincerely beg to stay
At your lotus feet every step, every day.
