Prayer unto the Lotus Feet of Krsna
by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
on board the ship Jaladuta, September 13, 1965
(refrain)
kṛṣṇa taba puṇya habe bhāie-puṇya koribe jabe rādhārāṇī khusī habedhruva ati boli tomā tāi
I emphatically say to you, O brothers, you will obtain your good fortune from the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa only when Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī becomes pleased with you.
śrī-siddhānta saraswatī śacī-suta priya atikṛṣṇa-sebāya jāra tula nāisei se mohānta-guru jagater madhe urukṛṣṇa-bhakti dey ṭhāi ṭhāi
Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, who is very dear to Lord Gaurāṅga, the son of mother Śacī, is unparalleled in his service to the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He is that great saintly spiritual master who bestows intense devotion to Kṛṣṇa at different places throughout the world.
tāra icchā balavān pāścātyete ṭhān ṭhānhoy jāte gaurāṅger nāmpṛthivīte nagarādi āsamudra nada nadīsakalei loy kṛṣṇa nām
By his strong desire, the holy name of Lord Gaurāṅga will spread throughout all the countries of the Western world. In all the cities, towns, and villages on the earth, from all the oceans, seas, rivers, and streams, everyone will chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa.
tāhale ānanda hoy tabe hoy digvijaycaitanyer kṛpā atiśaymāyā duṣṭa jata duḥkhī jagate sabāi sukhīvaiṣṇaver icchā pūrṇa hoy
As the vast mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu conquers all directions, a flood of transcendental ecstasy will certainly cover the land. When all the sinful, miserable living entities become happy, the Vaiṣṇavas' desire is then fulfilled.
se kārja je koribāre ājñā jadi dilo morejogya nahi an dīna hīnatāi se tomāra kṛpā māgitechi anurūpāāji numi sabār pravīṇa
Although my Guru Mahārāja ordered me to accomplish this mission, I am not worthy or fit to do it. I am very fallen and insignificant. Therefore, O Lord, now I am begging for Your mercy so that I may become worthy, for You are the wisest and most experienced of all.
tomāra se śakti pele guru-sebāya bastu milejībana sārthak jadi hoysei se sevā pāile tāhale sukhī haletaba saṅga bhāgyate miloy
If You bestow Your power, by serving the spiritual master one attains the Absolute Truth-one's life becomes successful. If that service is obtained, then one becomes happy and gets Your association due to good fortune.
evaṁ janaṁ nipatitaṁ prabhavāhikūpekāmābhikāmam anu yaḥ prapatan prasaṅgātkṛtvātmasāt surarṣiṇā bhagavan gṛhītaḥso 'haṁ kathaṁ nu visṛje tava bhṛtya-sevām
My dear Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, because of my association with material desires, one after another, I was gradually falling into a blind well full of snakes, following the general populace. But Your servant Nārada Muni kindly accepted me as his disciple and instructed me how to achieve this transcendental position. Therefore, my first duty is to serve him. How could I leave his service? (Prahlāda Mahārāja to Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, Bhāg. 7.9.28)
tumi mor cira sāthī bhuliyā māyār lāthikhāiyāchi janma-janmāntareāji punaḥ e sujoga jadi hoy jogāyogatabe pāri tuhe milibāre
O Lord Kṛṣṇa, You are my eternal companion. Forgetting You, I have suffered the kicks of māyā birth after birth. If today the chance to meet You occurs again, then I will surely be able to rejoin You.
tomāra milane bhāi ābār se sukha pāigocārane ghuri din bhorkata bane chuṭāchuṭi bane khāi luṭāpuṭisei din kabe habe mor
O dear friend, in Your company I will experience great joy once again. In the early morning I will wander about the cowherd pastures and fields. Running and frolicking in the many forests of Vraja, I will roll on the ground in spiritual ecstasy. Oh when will that day be mine?
āji se subidhāne tomāra smaraṇa bhelabaro āśā ḍākilām tāiāmi tomāra nitya-dāsa tāi kori eta āśatumi binā anya gati nāi
Today that remembrance of You came to me in a very nice way. Because I have a great longing I called to You. I am Your eternal servant and therefore I desire Your association so much. O Lord Kṛṣṇa, except for You there is no other means of success.
