SHRILA PRABHUPADA
SHRILA PRABHUPADA
VYASA PUJA OFFERING 1999
Who came from the east,
and put our minds at ease,
to dance and chant and feast,
and work like bumble bees?
Who was it that never did cheat,
whom no one could defeat,
who had the Lotus Feet,
that could shade us from all heat?
Who had a golden complexion,
and eyes that glowed with the perfection,
of life's supreme blessing,
beyond all contesting?
Who,when he spoke,gave us hope
that all problems we could cope
with the power of his scope
in every book he wrote?
Who walked with a cane,
always chanting Krishna's Names,
and everwhere he saw with Prema,
Krishna,life's only aim?
Who was beyond belief,
and yet all could see,
he was beyond material grief,
and this world of misery?
Who had deepest compassion,
which guided every action,
and answered every asking,
to our full satisfaction?.
Who could look into our soul,
and make us all know,
all he did know,
and with no doubt could show?
Who could look into our hearts,
and awaken our spiritual sparks,
and make us play our parts,
with his inconcievable arts?
Who never fell asleep,
into our illusion deep,
and all that he could speak,
was wisdom we could keep?
Who was personified scripture,
the external manifestation of Krishna,
and always painted the picture,
that put us all in bliss here?
Who,when he raised his hands,
all fell under his command,
to enter the blissful dance,
of love of Godhead's trance?
Who,when he chanted,
our wishes were granted,
completely enchanted,
by his loving attraction?
Who had the grace,
so easy to embrace,
and purified every place,
by his countenance chaste?
These memories come to me-
I must share them with thee!-
of the greatest company,
of Krishna's Pure Devotee.
Who was not blind,
who could read every mind,
yet always humble and kind,
and blissful all the time?
Who could be like thunder,
if one of was would blunder,
so we did not have to wonder,
about the power we were under?
Who could be soft like a rose,
and be closer than close,
whose life was the perfect pose,
for the guidance of all souls?
Who had a heart so tender,
he caused us to surrender,
knowing he was our only friend here,
whose love would never end here?
Who finally opened our eyes,
with all-relieving sighs,
to see Krishna,all wise,
who answered all our cries?
Who could not tolerate sin,
and came to only make us win,
and leave this world,where all looks dim
so in love's ocean we could swim?
Who gave the greatest proof,
of the Supreme Absolute Truth,
at every single moment,
and in every perfect move?
Who did we know to be divine,
beyond all space and time,
who came to stop all crime,
with Krishna's Names and chime.
Nectar most sweet,
we knew we did greet,
when we fell at his Lotus Feet,
eager to hear him speak.
Who made rascals flee,
and the humble dance in glee,
who set us all free,
when chanting the Names of Hari?
Shrila Prabhupada is his name,
and Shrila Prabhupada is the soul aflame,
that keeps us moving towards life's aim,
pure and perfect Krishna Prema!!!!
He was and is the personified proof,
that Krishna,God,exist in truth,
with a proof none will ever disprove,
the truth that makes my very pen move.
Move on, oh wayward soul,
away from that black hole,
where nothing you could know,
and nowhere you could go.
Move on,oh,aimless spirit,
to the truth-he made me hear it,
move beyond this dying fold,
born to die,get sick and old.
Just move to Krishna by chanting His Names
just follow Prabhupada and he'll explain,
with the supreme mercy,mercy rain,
of his words which Krishna has ordained.
His name is Prabhupada,
that's all you have to know,
if you want to know Krishna,God,
and there you want to go.
There's no need to look elsewhere,
he did not disappear,
just try to obey him,
and you'll know he's always near.
Near as Krishna,right in your heart,
as caring as Krishna,never to depart,
near as Krishna,always in His Names
is Shrila Prabhupada,beyond all doubt and pain.
This body we need not,
we are eternal servants of Rama,God,
know this of Prabhupada,
he can not fail his job.
He shall guide those in Govinda's Light,
who obey him and do right,
and all will be in sight,
with no need to guess or fight.
Prabhupada sees everything clear,
and there's nothing he can fear,
Prabhupada just can't disappear,
because Krishna placed him here,
Prabhupada's path is simple,
for those simple like children,
but the proud shall stay bewildered,
and forever remain spiritually crippled.
"What's the difficulty" Prabhupada said,
the difficulty is we've all gone mad,
so you just chant Hare Krishna,
and your life will be sublime,
and all becomes easy,
when we chant all the time!!!!
there is no other way,
there is no other way,
there is no other way.
All glories to Prabhupada,
now please kindly shout,
because he's in his books
with Krishna's Servants,
to forever help all out,
of repeated birth and death,
this world of endless doubt.
Thus this anubhavananda das,
although sorely unqualified,
is praying to Prabhupada to stay on his side
so he may always hear him guide....
Closer than our jugular vein,
he said he does abide,
when we adhere to his orders,
or lost,misled we glide.
All glories to Shrila Prabhupada,
dearest master and friend of the most fallen.
who remain like fools before him,
never challenging or thinking there,
equal or better than him. Hare Krishna!!
