Hare Krishna to all Dear Devotees of The Lord,
Please accept my humble obesiances with all Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
This morning I was meditating on Srila Prabhupad and thought of writing a poem… I watched “The Final Lesson” and with the heavy heart wrote this..
please excuse my illiteracy in writing poems and no understanding of writing good English..
but I still wanted to Glorify my Spiritual Master so I simply wrote what my dull head dictated…
From “The Final Lesson”
Jai Srila Prabhupada! Vande Guru Shri Charnarvinda
Lord Krishna’s pure devotee, that You are,
Who fought all alone with this Maya’s deadly War
And You are the one Who even gave His last breath to it,
How hard it is for this dull world still to admit…
You are the perfect example of Krishna’s servant
When it comes to Lord’s service –
…You are the perfect observant
The 24 hr Kirtan must continue – that’s what You desire
Listening to which, Prabhupada, You indented to simply retire…
With most of Your children around –
The room that got filled with transcendental sound
Some crying, some singing, some eyes filled with tears,
What’s going to happen to us – that’s what they all fear.
Slim body, breathing slowly,
Still beautiful like Lotus flower,
You continue to pour Your mercy,
In the shape of Your instruction shower.
“If you (all of us) engage in the business of sense gratification,
you (we all) go to the hellish nature,
But engage yourself (us) in Lord’s Devotional Service –
And the results will be far Greater”
Also You instructed us to keep the association of Lord’s devotees who are pure
That way we reach our final destination – Back to Godhead – that’s for sure
Therefore we must seek Devotee’s association
…always with no exception,
Else we must be ready to get dragged by Maya,
…and face our worse karmic reaction
With our own Endeavour,
…We just cannot give up our greediness and material lust
Then we change dramatically,
..With the power of Your Divine’s Lotus feet’s dust,
Seeing the Spiritual Master with devotion
…is the eye’s perfection…
Touching His Lotus Feet
…is a sense of touch’s perfection…
And glorifying His activities
…is the tongue’s real activity..
That’s the simple instructions from Vedas,
…and that’s our only duty…
Srila Prabhupada, kindly engage our senses to Your service,
…that wish in me only may remains,
Then only my mind will be controlled
…and only then the final destination will be attained
Out of many thousands of men,
…one may Endeavour for perfection
It’s about time Srila Prabhupada
…to bring Your instructions into action,
We know the super soul has appeared before us
…in form of Spiritual Master,
So mudha’s (dull head – rascals) like us
…can understand the science of God a bit faster…
You never forget Krishna and Krishna never forgets You…
So long as eternity this statement will remain true…
Attachment to the material world
…is the greatest entanglement of the spirit soul
But the same attachment when applies for the Spiritual Master
…opens the libration doors
For a pure Devotee of Lord
…there is no question of dying or living..
Because He always lives in His books and
…in His instructions that He is always giving…
It’s impossible to repay back to our beloved Father’s mercy to us…
‘Cause we were falling in the blind well of snakes…
And Srila Prabhupada mercifully saved and accepted us…
My eternal duty is to only Serve My Spiritual Master to my fullest extent
Else I would meet my end soon and there will be no time to repent….
Srila Prabhupada, “Aur na kari hai mane aasha”…I have no other desire… no other desire…no other desire…
Jai Srila Prabhupada – Vande Guru Shri Charanarvinda…
Hari Bol
Your Humble Servant

Wonderfully written and another great inspiration here for everyone!
Thanks you so much for sharing Kanhaiya DasAnudas.
Srila Prabhupada is simultaneously in Vrndavna and with at all times. He told us that he will stay in this universe until all of his disciples go back to Godhead. That of course includes all the new disciples. So let us help him out and get home in this life if not right now.
