Happy 116th Vyasa Puja Srila Prabhupada thank you for all that you did and continue to do for all the fallen jivas of this universe. I am forever in debt which I am unable to repay even after many births. You are the personification of Mahaprabhu’s mercy and is very dear to Him. You are the Person Bhagavat, the shelter for the fallen, the torch bearer who smashes darkness born of ignorance. The giver of the highest perfection in human life prema bhakti (love of God), you even purify the places of pilgrimage and have turned hellish places in the west into heavenly abodes where due to your powerful love and bhakti Sri Krsna has decided to reside. You have given us so many things and what can we possible give you? Even after your physical disappearance from our material vision you have stayed within in your murti, within the hearts of your faithful followers and within the pages of your books and continue to guide, protect and uplift us this is all due to your unconditional causeless mercy and love upon us. You are our captain, the only one leading us back home back to Godhead. I pray that I may have thousands of mouths to always sing your praises, thousands of eyes to see your lotus like face and smile and thousands of ears to hear your transcendental voice but alas I do not and due to me having no bhakti and my heart being like a stone how can I do such things? How can I sing the holy names of Sri Krsna and praise Your Divine Grace without love in my heart? All I can pray is to stay your humble servant birth after birth and to serve the vaishnavas. Please allow this lowly servant the shade of Your Lotus like Feet.
Dear Srila Prabhupada; Obeisances, dear Master, please accept my claim of being your eternal servant.
It has been a wild year so far, 2012, but we keep on doing our little bit, like one of the squirrels or spiders helping Lord Rama. and for us, Srila Prabhupada, it is you who are our Rama and our Patita pavana. By your grace, all things are possible." There is no such word as impossible except in the fool's dictionary", you told us.
So, having already done the impossible, we await your energy to direct us fully, as there is nought but victory in the camp of the followers of Hanuman. Arjuna flew that flag, for his battle of Kuruksetra, flag of Hanuman. Please bless us to fly your Flag of Victory in our hearts in our Kuruksetras here on this earth.
This great opportunity to serve you is the blessing of Harinama, and for this precious matchless gift, we offer our eternal gratefulness and thanks in great joy.
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto Srimad Abhaya-caranaravinda dasa, who has taken complete shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.”
bhaktisiddhānta-dāsena tuṣṭitā vai hari-priyā harer kim kathanam yasmai bhaktabhaktas tv atipriyaḥ
“By the disciple of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, Krsna’s dearest consort has been pleased. What to speak of Lord Hari Himself, who is very fond of the devotees of His devotees.”
yasya smaraṇa-mātreṇa punītam tv api jagat-trayam jagad deha-mayam dṛṣṭvā kalāv evetare janāḥ
“By his remembrance even the three worlds are purified. He saw the whole world immersed in bodily consciousness, due to the effect of Kali-yuga.”
māyāvādam hatam yena vidyām ca rāja-guhyakam dehan na nitya kṛṣṇasya dāseti datta āśrayam
“He destroyed the Mayavada philosophy of impersonalism, and delivered the most confidential of all knowledge, that we are not these bodies but an eternal servant of Lord Krsna, and thus gave shelter to all.”
sad pitā gurur īśaś ca tasya naumy aṅghri-śiromaṇī pūty arthe prārthanedam me śamsārthe na ca jātucit
“He is the real father, real master and real Lord. I pray at His feet which are the crown jewels upon my head. This prayer is for my purification, and not in the slightest for praise.”
prabhupāda tumi eva, lokera nija-bandhu tomā-vinā āmāra pāvana, ke koruṇā-sindhu
“Prabhupad, you alone are the real friend of the entire world. Without you, who is there to purify and protect us, the ocean of mercy?”
tuccha tuccha saba tuccha, kahe prabhupāda mukti api niraya-sukha, kevala smṛti sāda
“Prabhupad says that all material happiness is useless and a complete waste of time. Even liberation is hellish, and obtained simply by remembrance.”
“”I offer my respectful obeisance to Lord Visnu, the all-pervading Supreme Personality of Godhead, just momemntary remembrance of whom frees one from the bondage of the cycle of birth and death.”” (Visnu-sahasranama)
māyā-sukhera vaśa na āo, bolo hare kṛṣṇa nāco gāo sabse bolo, aiche pūraṇa tṛṣṇa
“”Don’t come under the control of the happiness provided by maya – chant Hare Krsna. Dance, sing and tell everyone that simply like this we can satisfy all our desires.””
e eva raha āmāra, śuddha kṛṣṇa-nāma kahe śrīla prabhupāda, yat-supada dhāma
“”This is our only secret – offenseless chanting of the holy name of the Lord.” So says Srila Prabhupada, whose lotus feet are the abode of pure devotional service.”
yan-nāma mańgala śuci, prema-dhana kṛṣṭa tan-nāme na haya ruci, āmi baḍa bhraṣṭa
“That holy names of the Lord which are all-auspicious, completely pure, containers of the treasure of love of Godhead, and supremely attractive to the minds of all, in chanting those holy names I have no taste, and so I am most fallen.”
'mo sama patita nāi', soce se saba kānde na bujhaya mora pada, bhakta jana ānande
“All devotees cry thinking that nobody is more fallen than them. Not knowing my position, they cry in ecstatic bliss.”
mo sama patita koi, triloke nā pāi saba-jage kṛṣṇa dikhe, e din kaba āi
“But the truth is, no one will find anyone as fallen as I am within all the three worlds. Oh, when will that day come when I will be able behold Krsna at every moment, at every place?”
“Prabhupad, your causeless mercy is endless and unlimited. Kindly give a drop of that ocean of mercy, and allow this most fallen soul a chance to enter Goloka.”
kaba more tomāra kṛpā, habe nidhi byūḍha narādhamera adhama āmi, mūḍhera api mūḍha
“When will I be graced by your vast ocean of mercy? Among fallen men I am the most fallen, and among fools I am the foremost.”
“O master, you are our only and only hope. Please make us realize that this material world is nothing but a blazing forest fire.”
deha-maya mora karma, kṛṣṇera nīja-pāśe māyā-sukhe sukhī māni, bahirangā-vaśe
“My activities are all on the bodily platform under the real ropes of Krsna. I am considering myself very much happy under material happiness, being under the illusory energy of the Lord.”
muñi baḍa dīna hīna, abhakta ayogya jadi kintu kṛpa koribe, e jantu sarvajña
“I am very poor and fallen, a disgrace to the name of a devotee and not at all qualified for serving the Lord. But if you are merciful upon me, I can become all-knowing.”
caraṇe sadā vāsa diyo, jo bhakatira sadma bhakti habe kṛṣṇe mora, supuṣpita padma
“Please give me a place of residence always at your lotus feet, which are the abode of pure devotional service. I know that only then I will develop devotion towards Krsna, just like a beautifully bloomed lotus flower.”
āmi śuniluń prabhupāda, tava hate kṛṣṇa śuniluń koṭi-koṭi-janme, na habe kṛṣṇe tṛṣṇa
“Prabhupad, I have heard that Krsna is in your hands. I have also heard that even after many crores and crores of births, one does not attain the greed to have Krsna.”
e mora prārthanā prabhu, diyo tat tṛṣṇa goloka gamanīye jata, e pāpī pābo kṛṣṇa
“This is my prayer O master, please give me that greed to have Krsna. That greed, I know, will help me go towards Goloka, and thus even this sinful person will attain Krsna’s shelter.”

śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmine tasya prītaye idam taccaraṇāhlāde mama manda-mater gatiḥ
