O UNLIMITED SHALAGRAMA SHILA
Now on this Ekadasi called,
Pandava Nirjala,
I am now fasting from food, water, yes all,
begging Prabhupada to hear my call.
O Shrila Prabhupada,
please hear thy crippled dog,
please cause me to surrender to God,
and perform, the only human job.
No one can know what is true,
with out approaching You,
O most worshipable, Jagat Guru,
only You may guide us through.
O revealer of God or Krishna,
O world's ever well wisher,
You are the Lord's greatest fisher,
of souls from this darkest ditch here.
You alone reveal Giri Govardhana,
and Shri Chaitanya Chandra mukhi anandaji,
You are the only cause,
for knowing Shri Sudarshana Chakra maharaja.
These Shalagrama Shilas,
worshipped on Damaghosa's alter,
I now pray for Their mercy,
that my words may have no fault here.
O unlimited Shalagrama Shila,
You are the Supreme Lord Krishna,
there is no greater Healer,
than You, O Shalagrama Shila.
Only because Prabhupada did intervene,
I now pray to You, O Lord Supreme,
to awaken me from my gross dream,
that alone I can do anything.
O unlimited Supreme Transcendence,
on You all is in full dependence,
the hellish planets and the heavens,
would all fall, with out Thy Attendance.
Nothing moves with out Thy Grace,
not one answer can one trace,
duty bound to You, all life does chase,
in perfect order, all stays in place.
O unlimited Shalagrama Shila,
Advaita Acharya prayed to You,
with Tulasi leaf and the greatest feeling,
You brought Lord Chaitanya here reeling,
with the most merciful revealing.
O unlimited Shalagrama Shila,
Prabhupada prayed to You in the same mood,
and it was You and Bhaktisidhanta,
Who blessed Him, to spread Gaura's boon,
for all over this world now,
souls are chanting Krishna's Names,
and knowingly or unknowingly,
they are gradually finding life's aim.
O unlimited Shalagrama Shila,
You are one, yet expanded with no end,
You are worshipped by qualified brahmanas,
who are the world's dearest friends.
O unlimited inconceivable Krishna,
You may incarnate, how ever Your wishing,
as a boar, human, fossil or stone,
only by Thy mercy, You are known.
O all powerful Holy Name,
please make tears of love rain,
to just wash all sins down the drain,
by the constant chanting of Thy Names.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
Only by Thy causeless Grace,
I am now meditating on Thy Face,
just pleading to be engaged,
in Thy Service, with love, always.
He is indeed the most rare,
who serves You, always with care,
in ecstasy beyond compare,
Your Servants see You everywhere.
Yet this alone awards full satisfaction,
when we are incessantly chanting,
Thy glories with no cease,
we know real love and peace.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
This is no artificial condition,
it is our constitutional position,
to always serve You, dear Lord Krishna,
with all the love, we have in us.
Only by Thy mercy I write,
these words that aways delight,
all souls that know what is right,
the way, the truth and the life.
Jesus surrendered to Thy Will,
and knew the unlimited thrill,
all the greatest souls feel,
Who love You and know what is real.
Only by Thy most merciful love,
can all hope to rise above,
to know what they are part of,
and follow Thy pure dove.
Thy Servants are as good as You,
and are more worshipable indeed,
for comming to this abominable place,
to plant in us, the bhakti lata bija.
I pray to You O Shalagrama Shila,
to please bless me with the power,
to tolerate all I have due,
so I may remember You, to the last hour.
when death does show his face,
may I have Thy causeless grace,
to take shelter of Thy Names,
so love filled tears, flow down like rain.
O unlimited Shalagrama Shila,
I beg to be an instrument in Thy Hand,
to bring Your Servants together,
to just spread Thy glories grand,
to every single creature,
in every single land,
let us be the Lord's dearest preacher,
to turn all worries to sand.
Thy one Servant can deliver a universe,
please make us cooperate for His pleasure,
please make us the pleasure of Prabhupada,
and follow him for ever and for ever.
all glories, all glories, all glories,
to Shrila Prabhupada,
for making another poem possible,
because for Him,
there is no impossible job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jai Prabhupada, Jai Prabhupada!!
