MOST UNFORTUNATE IS HE
MOST UNFORTUNATE IS HE
Most unfortunate is the soul,
who knows not Prabhupada,
imparter of the deepest wisdom,
revealing Giridhari,God...
Remaining as a fool before you,Prabhupada,
I pray O eternal Father and Preceptor,
please engage me in Giridhari's Service,
our only blissful protector..
And bless me with another poem,
to guide us fallen souls back home,
especially about Giridhari,I pray,
for it is Govardhana Puja today..
Most unfortunate is the soul,
who does not even know,
who is our one Supreme Father,
that has all in His Hold...
And yet He is an eternal Cowherd Boy,
Who gives the greatest souls unlimited joy,
by His Pastimes like lifting Govardhana Hill,
to make the lord of heaven kneel,
down to Krishna's Lotus Feet,
in complete humility and defeat,
after seeing his greatest storm,
was but play time,for his Lord!!!
Most unfortunate is he or she,
who can not even hear or see,
the most charming Lord of you and me,
Shyamasundara,Giridhari!!!
Most unfortunate is the person,
who chooses to remain here hurting,
and refuses to hear Lord Krishna's pastimes,
all transcendental and blissfully divine...
Most unfortunate is the woman or man,
who does not care to try to understand,
Krishna's transcendental nature and deeds,
which alone can save us from all miseries..
So unfortunate are you,my brothers and sisters,
to miss the celebration of Giridhari,Krishna,
so now you will get snake bites,missing the thrill,
of dancing and feasting on Govardhana hill...
And hear how lord Indra sent a storm to destroy, the deepest love and respect for a cowherd boy,
yet that small child lifted a giant mountain,
like it was a flower,to protect all from a fountain.
Though the storm was worse than ever seen,
it was nothing for this boy,for He is Supreme,
He holds the planets in space,to fill them with life
and with out His Will,there is nothing to write..
Krishna plays Flutes that melt all hearts,
and remains in all ears to never depart,
and Krishna's Servants,set the greatest example,
the whole world pursues,to live sinless and simple
Krishna will save all from greatest terrorist acts, like He did from Indra's wrath,and this is a fact,
if we chant Krishna's Names,with every endeavor.
we'll know ever increasing pleasure and forever.
Just like all the residents of Vrindavana,
even the cows chanted with out stopping,
crying Krishna come,we know no one else,
who always comes to help,no one but yourself.
Krishna promises My servants never perish,
and even told Arjuna to boldly declare it,
even a little service,once calling Krishna's name, will bless one forever and never go in vain..
Yet He request to always think of our treasure,
all attractive Krishna,the reservoir of pleasure,
and His divine pastimes,He revealed to attract,
all to return Home,to not again,come back,
to this miserable world,
of only repeated birth and death,
Krishna begs please be most fortunate,
and always remember and never forget,
all beautiful Krishna,
by just chanting with every breath,
like His dear ones in Indra's storm,
like an infant for mother's breast..
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
Our mood is the secret,
complete helplessness,
like Draupadi felt,
when in deepest distress,
when most powerful demons,
wanted to see her undressed,
she knew no one but Krishna could save her,
and He came on her behalf,
and gave her unlimited sari,
and all she did was cry O Govinda,
leting go of her sari,to just depend on Giridhari,
in helplessness and surrender.
So following the footsteps,
of Krishna's Servants like this,
is the path to transcendental bliss,
under Krishna's protection,
just Krishna consciousness..
Prabhupada prayed,
my dear Lord Krishna,
like a puppet make me dance,
so let us pray to dance like Prabhupada,
and like him always chant,
always trusting Prabhupada
and Krishna are with us,
to make us spiritually advance,
please now take this chance..
And trust in something sublime,
by just trying to fix your mind,
on Krishna and His pastimes divine,
and right now is always the time,
to chant O Giridhari,
please protect us by Thy Names,
so we will not be sorry,
drowning in sorrow and the pain,
of not knowing the transcendental mellow,
of you lifting Govardhana hill to use as a umbrella
to shelter the unlimited residents of Vrindavana,
where they stayed for seven days,never stoping,
chanting Your glories to transcend all their worries
knowing Your most peaceful protection,
and experiencing the highest perfection,
of just seeing You with deepest love and affection
lifting Govardhana hill with just Your left little Finger,
smiling to see Your Servants just absorbed singing,
Krishna's Names,while they deeply remember,
wonderful Krishna,Giridhari,Gopal,Govinda!!!!
All glories to Shrila Prabhupada for making another poem possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
