What is our real duty?
is that too hard to ask?
our teacher will come to us
when we take up the task.
He is not from this world
of repeated births and deaths
he is from our eternal home
where dancing is every step.
But first we must get
the greatest fortune indeed
of hearing Krishna’s names
sung by Krishna’s devotees.
Dancing and singing in the streets
with love of Srila Prabhupada and God
Prabhupada is our eternal guru and father
Krishna is our Lord, the cause of all causes.
We ourselves have no qualifications
when our hearts are so unclean
to know Krishna’s pure devotee
and Krishna our Lord supreme.
Our hearts must be purified
by sinless and pure association
to finally seek eternal truths
and be serious for self realization.
So all glories to Srila Prabhupada
the whole universe’s guru
for he is fixed in the absolute truth
perfectly living and giving the proof.
He lives in his lawbooks to lead
all beyond blood and bones
for as soon as we read one word
we are on our way back home.
Back to home, back to Godhead
where God or Krishna fills our hearts
and all minds are absorbed in Krishna
Who never ever parts.
For His love is eternally real
it is all we ever long to feel
a love that flows to every creature
is the love of Krishna’s perfect preacher.
Thus our greatest adventure begins
when we meet our only friends
preaching wake up and chant God’s names
our only deliverance in this age.
It can take millions of years
or a moment to awake
we must cry like an infant to its mother
helplessly my sisters and brothers.
For helpless we are
we can not take a breath without Krishna
the only reason we are living on
is Lord Krishna is always with us.
And Krishna and His names are the same
as His names Krishna is here for all
to cry out to and helplessly call
to rise again from our terrible fall.
Now trapped inside a body
that must grow old, diseased and die
so dull and grossly foolish
we don’t even care to ask why.
But if we will chant this maha mantra
we shall very gradually understand
that we are eternal spirit souls
just meant to obey Krishna’s command.
Just you surrender unto Me
from all worries you’ll be freed
just always chant My holy names
and your eternal love shall awake.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
For all is under Krishna’s control
Krishna is the one supreme independent
on the loving Hands of Krishna
all life is completely dependent.
For the air we have to breath
and everything we need
what we need most is the eternal shelter
of our service to Krishna our supreme helper.
Our eternal shelter is full of knowledge and bliss
it is our most precious Krishna consciousness
only by Prabhupada’s mercy I am preaching this truth
we have no value with out the mercy of God
Who causes all that be and so our only job.
Is to cry out to Krishna
yes cry out to God
please engage me in Your service
and obey Your perfect laws.
For only by setting the perfect example
may we re establish this world as Krishna’s temple
where all know only happiness and peace
cooperating with Prabhupada to save all living entities.
