Prayer To the Spiritual Masters

nama om vishnu-padaya

krishna-preshthaya bhu-tale

shrimate bhaktivedanta-

svamin iti namine

namas te sarasvate deve

gaura-vani-pracharine

nirvishesha-shunyavadi-

pashcatya-desha-tarine

 

Sri-Ksna-caitanya prabhu-nityananda

sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda

Translation

I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very dear to Lord Krishna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.

Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Sarasvati Gosvami. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Chaitanyadeva and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism.

 

I offer my obeisances to Sri Krsna Caitanya, Prabhu Nityananda, Sri Advaita. Gadadhara, Srivasa and all others in line of devotion.

 

 

Govinda

Venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksam , Barhavatamsam asitambuda-sundarangam, Kandarpa-koti-kamaniya-visesa-sobham Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami

  Angani yasya sakalendriya-vrtti-manti, Pasyanti panti kalayanti ciram jaganti, Ananda-cinmaya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya , Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami

 Translation

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who plays on His transcendental flute. His eyes are like lotus flowers, He is decorated with peacock plumes, and His bodily colour resembles a fresh black cloud although His bodily features are more beautiful than millions of cupids.

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, whose transcendental form is full of bliss, truth and substantiality, and is thus full of the most dazzling splendor. Each of the limbs of that transcendental figure posseses in Himself, the full-fledged functions of all the organs, and eternally sees, maintains and manifests the infinite universes, both spiritual and mundane.

 

Govinda Jaya Jaya

govinda jaya jaya gopala jaya jaya

radha-ramana hari govinda jaya jaya

Translation

All glories to Lord Govinda! All glories to Lord Gopala!  All glories to Lord Sri Hari, the husband of Radharani.
