POEM ABOUT BHAKTISIDHANTA SARASWATI
IT'S THE WORLD THAT NEEDS TO KNOW THE SCORE
Srila Prabhupada and His Guru Bhaktisiddhanta
Srila Prabhupada (POEM)
To be freed from repeated birth and death,
we know we can't forget our debt,
to Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Shrila Prabhupada.
Who could have given us more?
It's the world that needs to know the score.
Who was more certain to open the curtain
that blinds us from our Servant Lord?
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Jagat Guru,
is competely fixed in the absolute truth,
simply his presence was the overwhelming proof,
to scatter the demons leading souls to a spoof.
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Maharaja,
is completely beyond material nature's laws,
that control the worlds of Martyaloka,
where there is nothing beyond illusory poking.
Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta opened our eyes,
to the one who would save us from these lies,
of those pleasures that must begin and end,
to our Eternal, Dearest Friend.
How can I describe,
the glories of this guide,
who revealed the truth to us,
deep in our souls inside?
Who in our lives could be more dear,
than the one who sent our savior here?
How could our hearts ever know rejection
of the horizon he unfolds, unlimited perfection?
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Gurudeva,
is the son of Chaitanya's devotional ray,
Bhaktivinoda Thakura holds the nectarean waters
that flow from the blessings of our eternal fathers.
The purest parampara disciplic succession,
in the line of disciples from Krishna's direction,
bestows on their disciples life's highest perfection
when they long for Radha and Krishna's affection.
The family tree of souls set free,
from Maya's hold by Lord Hari,
the perfect channel for the perfect instructions,
to save every soul from spiritual destruction.
Bhaktisiddhanta came in that line,
purely connected to all that's divine,
to Lord Krishna the original spiritual master,
supremely beyond the worlds of disaster.
Bhaktisiddhanta, born Bimala Prasada datt,
sent Abhay Charan De, Shrila Prabhupada,
both fearless propounders of the absolute truth,
straight from Govinda,Who plays sweetest Flutes.
Who could know more than what they did give,
by instruction and example,
to show the way to live?
Whose mercy was greater than Bhaktisiddhanta's
who sent us A.C. Bhaktivedanta?
His vision sure without a blur,
guiding pure, with nothing to obscure.
The allure of Krishna's pure servitor,
now binds the hearts of Prabhupada's herd.
The herd of the most fallen victims of Kali,
only he could lift us from our useless wasted folly,
that one who's never separate from Bhaktisiddhanta,
the one who supremely blesses the lost and ghostly haunted.
The greatest mercy of all is what he did send,
never was there a time when more mercy did flow,
to our master Prabhupada, pure servant of God,
the mercy to deliver the most sinful and low.
We could never measure the glories of he,
who comes right to hell to set the lowest free,
it's useless to try, all we should do is cry
to follow in their footsteps to our Love Supreme.
No one could have done nor ever shall do,
what was done by the Guru of our Guru,
to defeat the greatest cheaters,
to send them fleeing,
in fear of their lives simply by seeing.
Bhaktisiddhanta's power protected our savior,
through all the trials he paid here,
it was his perfect faith in him beyond fault and sin
that sent him straight to our aid here.
Tis only forever that it could ever take,
to repay our debt to him who shook us awake,
tis only forever it ever could take,
to pay back that one who saved us from our fate.
A garland of flowers fell from Lord Jagannatha,
our Large-Eyed Lord, Lord of the Universe,
a garland that landed 'round the head of him,
Bhaktisiddhanta, just following his birth.
Around his neck in his very mother's womb,
was the cord of his mother like a Gayatri thread,
even in the womb he was beyond this world of doom,
chanting the Supreme Poem of Him far ahead.
Never was he enslaved by our worlds,
of repeated birth and death,
he came from God to send us Prabhupada,
and none better or equal has he sent yet.
Bhaktisiddhanta, Shrila Prabhupada,
holds the perfect wand to guide us back to God,
'tis only the grace of his magic divine,
that can bring us real love beyond space and time.
Forever we pray to [him] who sent ,our Guru Deva
to keep him close to us all of the way.
O Bhaktisiddhanta, thank you
for the greatest blessing of all,
a guide to open our eyes
to Govinda, Krishna, Gopal!!!
our most beloved,
AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada,
Who blessed another poem upon this dog..
