Prayer unto the Lotus Feet of my Lord and Master Srila Prabhupada

1
His lotus feet are served in devotion by multitudes of high, virtuous
souls; he is the establisher of the religion of the age (as Sri
Krsna-sankirtana); he is the presiding monarch (of the Visva
Vaisnava-Raja-Sabha - the universal society of the pure devotees that are the
true 'kings' or guides of all); and he is the fulfiller of the most cherished
desires of those who dispel fear (for all souls). I make my obeisance unto the
lotus feet of that illustrious great soul, worshippable by one and all -
perpetually do I make my obeisance unto the radiance emanating from the
toenails of the holy feet of my Lord.

2
He is the leader of the fortunate souls blessed with the treasure of
internal pure devotion; he is greatly merciful upon the fallen souls, being
their only shelter; and his inconceivable holy feet are the shelter for the
deceivers, by deceiving them. I make my obeisance unto his lotus feet -
perpetually do I make my obeisance unto the radiance emanating from the
toenails of the holy feet of my Lord.

3
I make my obeisance unto his divine, charming yet commanding lofty form
of golden hue. That beautiful figure shames the mad ecstasy of golden lotus
stems. Venerated by tens of millions of Cupids, the moons of the toenails of my
Worshipful Divine Master reveal the beauty of his lotus feet. Perpetually do I
make my obeisance unto that effulgence emanating from the toenails of the holy
feet of my Lord.

4
Like the moon that delights the stars, he is surrounded by his circle
of personal servitors, making their hearts bloom in divine ecstasy. The
malicious non-devotees are made to flee in panic by the sound of his thunderous
roar, and the simple, inoffensive souls attain the ultimate fortune by
accepting his lotus feet. I make my obeisance unto him; perpetually do I make
my obeisance unto the brilliance emanating from the toenails of the holy lotus
feet of my Lord.

5
He has revealed the vast, magnificent beauty of Sri Gaura Dhama; he has
broadcast the tidings of the supreme magnanimity of Sri Gauranga throughout the
whole universe; and in the hearts of the fit recipients of his grace, he has
firmly established the lotus feet of Sri Gaura. I make my obeisance unto him;
perpetually do I make my obeisance unto the effulgence emanating from the
toenails of the holy feet of my Lord.

6
He is the eternal shelter and the Universal Guru for the souls
surrendered unto Sri Gauranga. Absorbed in the service of his Gurudeva, Sri
Gaura Kisora, he wholeheartedly adores Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura. I make my
obeisance unto him; perpetually do I make my obeisance unto the effulgence
emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my Lord.

7
He is the illustrious personality to raise the flag that sings the
glory of Sri Rupa, Sri Sanatana, and Sri Raghunatha. His glory is sung
throughout the world as nondifferent from the powerful personality of brilliant
erudition, Sri Jiva. And he has won the renown of being one with the hearts of
Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja and Thakura Narottama. I make my obeisance unto him;
perpetually do I bow down to the brilliance emanating from the toenails of the
holy feet of my Divine Master.

8
Bestowing his grace upon all souls, he is Hari-kirtana incarnate. As
the associate of Sri Gaura, he relieves Mother Earth of the burden of offenses
committed upon her. And he is so gracious that his endearance of all beings
excels that of even a father. I make my obeisance unto him - the mine of all
these qualities; perpetually do I bow down to the effulgence emanating from the
toenails of the holy feet of my Divine Master.

9
Like a wish-fulfilling tree for his surrendered servitors (he fulfills
their heart's aspirations), even a tree is shamed by his magnanimity and
forbearance. And great personalities who are competent to confer boons - they,
too, worship his lotus feet. I make my obeisance unto him; perpetually do I bow
down to the radiance emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my Divine
Master.

10
The crownjewel of the paramahamsas, the Prince of the treasure of the
supreme perfection of life, Sri Krsna-prema, he accepted the robes of a
mendicant sannyasi just to deliver the fallen souls. The topmost tridandi
sannyasis attend his lotus feet. I make my obeisance unto him; perpetually do I
bow down to the effulgence emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my
Divine Master.

11
He is the dearmost intimate follower of the Divine Daughter of Sri
Vrsabhanu, and I know myself as the most fortunate by taking the dust of his
holy feet upon my head. I make my obeisance unto his invincible, wondrously
purifying lotus feet - perpetually do I bow to the brilliance emanating from
the toenails of the holy feet of my Divine Master.

Prayer unto Sri Sri Dayita Dasa
(after the manifest pastimes of Sri Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakura)


1
At the end of the night of Sri Sri Vrsabhanunandini, She suddenly took
him to her entourage, withdrawing him from the company of throngs of
grief-stricken souls. A great cry of lamentation arose, their bodies were
bathed by their tears. When he was thus stolen away, this world was plunged
into the deep darkness of one whose eyes have been stolen away (hrta - stolen
away; nayana-mani - jewel of the eye - the internal name of Saraswati Thakura
is 'Nayana-mani').
(Bereft of the vision of my Divine Master,) O my sorrowful eyes
(dina-nayana), (or, O savior of the fallen [Dina-nayana],) wherever that great
soul may be, please quickly take this servitor there! (Although he is my Master
named 'Nayana,' or 'one who brings us near,' in his mercy he shows the
miserliness of not taking me unto his company.)

2
From his lotus feet, the nectarine river of divine love flows
throughout the universe; his servitors, like bees, maintain their lives
drinking the honey that falls from his lotus feet; and the pure devotees in the
shelter of the confidential mellows of Vraja revel in the bliss of singing the
glories of his lotus feet: O Dina-nayana, wherever that great soul may be,
please quickly take this servitor there.

3
Parental affection, so highly esteemed in the world, is a colossal hoax
(as an obstacle to Hari-bhakti); socially recognized pure matrimonial love is
nothing but dacoitry (in that it plunders away both the husband's and the
wife's eagerness for the chance to acquire the treasure of love unadulterated
by the superficiality of familial prejudice); and common friendship is merely
deception: I have gleaned these thoughts from the rays of light that emanate
from the toenails of the holy feet of that great personality, the embodiment of
supramundane affection. O Dina-nayana, wherever that great soul may be, please
quickly take this servitor there.

4
The divine message sung by Sri Krsna Caitanyacandra had its continuous
play in the ears of the people. From the ear, did he, just to fulfill the
purport of the name 'Nayana-mani,' reveal his form to the eye, making his
advent in the mansion (temple) favored by the glance of Sri Nilacalacandra (at
the time of the Rathayatra festival)? O Dina-nayana, wherever that great soul
(Mahapurusa) may be, please swiftly take this servitor there.

5
Drawing up the pure golden waters of the Jambu River mentioned in
Srimad-Bhagavatam, has this golden cloud arisen on the mountain where the
golden moon (Sri Gauracandra) descended (set), just to shower down torrents of
rain upon the whole countryside that was scorched by the forest fire (of
threefold sufferings), then suddenly conceal himself in the dust of the land of
the Advent of Sri Gauranga? O Dina-nayana, wherever that Great Master may be
now, please quickly take this servitor to that place.

6
He is of the same hue as Sri Gaura, and although he, who sings the
tidings of Sri Gaura, is the (natural) Guru of the whole universe, he accepted
discipleship to a great devotee called Sri Gaura Kisora ('adolescent Gaura').
In the whole Gaura-mandala he is the repository of the glory of those who grant
entrance into the fold of the pure Gaudiya Vaisnavas. He proudly ascended the
lofty throne of preaching the glories of the gift of the Golden Lord Sri Gaura
(the service of Sri Radha-Govinda in Vraja) to the Vaisnavas of Dravida (the
devotees in South India, who are generally worshippers of Laksmi-Narayana). The
glory of his dignity shines even in the group of Sri Gandharva, and he holds a
pre-eminent position in the intimate circle of Sri Giridhari, that is, he is
the most beloved of Lord Mukunda. O Dina-nayana, where that great soul is now,
please swiftly take this servitor there.

7
He inundated the whole universe of countless living beings - whether
brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, less than sudra, and even mleccha - with the
oceanic nectar of the holy name of Sri Radha-Krsna. Although unapproachable by
the liberationists and yogic perfectionists, he is known as the friend of the
fallen, the mercy potency of Sri Gauranga. O Dina-nayana, wherever that great
soul may be, please swiftly take this servitor there.

8
Do I have a hope to ever see that beautiful golden personality who
makes everything auspicious for the world? Do I have a hope to ever behold that
tall figure once again, his blue lotus eyes, his nose that excels the charm of
the Tila flower, his forehead that shames the half-moon, his graceful lotus
face, his gleaming pearl-white teeth, his long arms extending to his knees? O
Dina-nayana, wherever that great soul has gone, please swiftly take this
servitor there.

9
In the year of our Lord Gauranga 450, in the month of Pausa, on the
fourth day of the dark fortnight of the moon in the star of Magha, at the
closing of the night of Brhaspativara (5.30 a.m., 1st January, 1937), that most
beloved attendant of Srimati Vrsabhanunandini entered into the eternal
pastimes. O Dina-nayana, wherever that great soul may be, quickly take this
servitor there to him.

10
The entire earth and skies were filled with the cries of anguish of the
people, and of the disciples devoted to the service of Sri Gurudeva's lotus
feet. Where has that Great Master gone? Alas! today the whole universe seems
empty, in the separation of Prabhupada. The servitor of Gurudeva cannot endure
even a moment of his separation. O Dina-nayana, wherever, wherever that great
soul may be, please quickly take this servitor there to him.

Homage unto Sri Dayita Dasa

1
He (of divine form) came forth from the birthplace of the golden lotus
- the ocean of the mellow of divine consorthood. His large, merciful eyes
dispel (the suffering souls') fear and proclaim (the surrendered souls')
victory. His tongue (constantly) vibrates the whole Earth planet with Sri
Krsna-sankirtana, his beauty resplendent in the robes of the sun's radiance
(saffron) that purifies the universe and dispels the suffering of material
existence. On his Holy Day of Advent, I (again and again) bow down unto that
beloved associate of Sri Vrsabhanunandini, and the servitors of his lotus feet.

2
The devotees surrendered in pure devotion are eternally protected at
his lotus feet. He is worshippable by the pure souls endowed with sincerity and
good fortune, and he accepts (even) those who obstruct the service of Sri Hari,
just to rectify them. As the very fountainhead of mercy upon all mobile and
immobile beings, he crushes the inauspiciousness of the whole universe. On his
Holy Day of Advent, I (again and again) bow down unto that beloved associate of
Sri Vrsabhanunandini, and the servitors of his lotus feet.

3
Like a miracle, his body moves with a joyful elegance and charm beyond
the world's understanding, fulfilling the artist's aspiration. (Or, dancing in
pastimes transcendental to the world, his artistic form incites divine love's
hankering). His intellect surpasses that of (even) the demigods, and he is
nobility incarnate as the commander in-chief of the Vaisnava sannyasis
(tridandi-yatis). The sadhus of profound intellect describe the nature of his
personality as meticulously in the line of Sri Sanatana, Sri Rupa, and Sri
Raghunatha, and they speak of him as being on the same plane as Sri Jivapada
(being superbly replete in perfect theistic conclusions). On his Holy Day of
Advent, I (again and again) bow down unto that beloved associate of Sri
Vrsabhanunandini, and the servitors of his lotus feet.

4
On the bank of Sri Radha Kunda at Svananda Sukhada Kunja, he is devoted
to the service of his Beloved, and (furthermore) he is greatly endeared to the
divine damsels of Vraja headed by Lalita. He is most favorite to Kamala-manjari
who is pre-eminent in Vrndavana, and with the glorious qualities of Gunamanjari
he builds the residence of Sri Hari. On his Holy Day of Advent, I (again and
again) bow down unto that beloved associate of Sri Vrsabhanunandini, and the
servitors of his lotus feet.

5
He is immaculate joy incarnate, or, he is the graciousness or the joy
of Vimala Devi. He manifested the pastimes of his Advent at Purusottama Ksetra
in the holy land of Orissa, and he revealed his pastimes of delivering the
fallen souls and extending his mercy upon them (by awarding them the gift of
divine love) at the 'new isles,' or Navadvipa. Circumambulating Gaura Dhama in
the same way as traditionally done at Vraja Dhama and Purusottama Dhama, he
continuously propagates - the loving desire of Vraja, the divine abode of
Vaikuntha, and the holy name of Krsna. On his Day of Holy Advent, I (again and
again) make my obeisance unto that dear associate of Sri Vrsabhanunandini, and
the servitors of his holy lotus feet.
