1Paramahamsa Sree Sreemad Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Maharaja.
Srila Prabhupada wrote this poem glorifying his spiritual master Paramahamsa Sree Sreemad Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Maharaja. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta was very satisfied with this poem, particularly the line: “The absolute is sentient Thou hast proved all impersonal calamity Thou has moved.”
ONE
Adore adore ye all,
The happy day.
Blessed than Heaven,
Sweeter than May.
When He appeared at Puri,
The holy place,
My Lord and Master
His Divine Grace.
TWO
Oh! my Master
The evangelic angel.
Give us thy light,
Light up thy candle.
Struggle for existence
A Human race,
The only hope
His Divine Grace.
THREE
Misled we are
All going astray,
Save us Lord
Our fervent pray,
Wonder thy ways
To turn our face
Adore thy feet
Your Divine Grace.
FOUR
Forgotten Krishna
We fallen soul.
Paying most heavy
The illusion’s toll.
Darkness around
All untrace,
The only hope
His Divine Grace.
FIVE
Message of service
Thou has brought.
A healthful life
As Chaitanya wrought.
Unknown to all
It’s full of brace.
That’s your gift
Your Divine Grace.
SIX
Absolute is sentient
Thou hast proved.
Impersonal calamity
Thou hast moved.
This gives us a life
Anew and fresh.
Worship thy feet
Your Divine Grace.
SEVEN
Had you not come
Who had told,
The message of Krishna
Forceful and bold,
That’s your right
You have the mace.
Save me a fallen
Your Divine Grace.
EIGHT
The line of service
As drawn by you,
Is pleasing and healthy
Like morning dew.
The oldest of all
But in new dress
Miracle done
Your Divine Grace.
“The absolute is sentient Thou hast proved all impersonal calamity Thou has moved.” These lines were presented by me to my spiritual master and He was highly pleased with me. Let me follow the same principle and my Guru Maharaja will bless me. I have always my good wishes and blessings for you all because you are cooperating in a great mission. Thank you.
Letter to: Rayarama San Francisco14 December, 1967
Presented to the devotees of the Hare Krishna movement as an offering commemorating the dissapearance day of our beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada- by your servants at the Prabhupada Sankirtan Society.
Hare Krishna!
Really! I have read this poem before but today got it more clearly. All all glories to srila prabhupad! Luv you prabhupad! I have also written a poem for you,
“When iam alone it feels like prone,
Digging in my mind in sand of thoughts.
Like a tilt covering my head, need someone to cover the Corazon.
Many things came many Things drawn,
They say it’s material so it’s gone.
Who were false who were true,
I never knew, he told me a few.”
Ya! I know am not a great poet like my srila prabhupad but this is the reality, what I’ve written.
When I felt like prone, prabhupad introduced me to Krishna and Radhey rani,
While digging in my head I got prabhupad’s books and his association,
Prabhupada came like an angel and covered my head,
Ya I never knew he told me a few!
So sweet prabhupada!
But I didn’t get one thing, whats this last paragraph ‘Presented to the devotees … sankirtan society’. What is it madhudvisa prabhu ji?
Respects
All glories to guru and gauranga!
Hare Krishna
