Srila Prabhupada introduced us all to the path of bhakti yoga and the sublime benefits of chanting the holy names of Krishna in the form of the maha-mantra. With great humility, never taking undue personal credit for his accomplishments, Srila Prabhupada once expressed, “My only credit is that I have strictly followed the order of my guru.”
The Amazing Acharya
With an unconditional faith
In his Guru’s words
Carried the Light of the Bhagavata
Into the darkness of ignorance
Totally fearlessly
Singing Lord’s glories
Awakening the love in the hearts of many
For Krsna, The Reservoir of Pleasure
Fanning the spark
Of faith and love
Teaching us to water
The seed of bhakti
Injecting the transcendental sound
Into the depths of the bewildered hearts
Showering the rains of mercy
With limitless love
Spreading without discrimination
The Message of Godhead
For the peace and goodwill
Of the fallen conditioned souls
Wanting us to understand
The Perfection of Yoga
Teaching us to stay humble and tolerant
The unalloyed servant of
Krsna, The Supreme Personality
Sharing with the humanity
The Science of Self Realization
And the path of sincere surrender
Amidst threefold miseries of the world
So we all remember again
Our relationship with the Supreme Lord
And our eternal position
Transcending the laws of nature
Having faith in
Raja-Vidya: The King of Knowledge
Taking shelter
At the Lotus feet of the Guru
The teachings of Bhagavad Gita
And Lord Chaitanya
Opening our eyes to
The glories of SrimadBhagavatam
And the pure devotional service
As an ultimate goal of life
So we can engage in loving devotional service
Beyond Birth and Death
Knowing that The Real Peace Formula
Is to Chant and Be Happy
On the Way to Krsna
Taking the Journey of Self Discovery
Back to Godhead…..
Jaya Srila Prabhupada!
