WHY MUST YOU KNOW SHRILA PRABHUPADA?
Why Must You know Shrila Prabhupada?
Why must you know Shrila Prabhupada?
He exist to give you the mercy of Krishna God!
How can you know Shrila Prabhupada?
Pray to Shrila Prabhupada!
Who is Shrila Prabhupada?
He's come to teach the laws of God.
Why must he teach you how to be godly?
Because, my friends, we've all forgotten!
How can Shrila Prabhupada cause us to remember
When to him you do surrender.
Could you please tell me how to surrender?
Admit you are a fool, don't be a pretender!
How am I a fool, I don't understand?
You know not what you're doing,
not what's at hand.
But who are you to tell me this, man?
I've been enlightened by Prabhupada's command!
What is this enlightenment that Prabhupada gives
The enlightenment of how a true human lives.
And how does Prabhupada give you enlightenment
He's been empowered by Krishna,
with this assignment!
How do I pray for Prabhupada's light?
Call out his name throughout your whole life!
And how will I know I've got his light?
You'll leave this world of fools,
and do what is right!
And what truly is a life lived right?
A life that brings Krishna right into your sight!
And how will I know I'm truly seeing Him?
You'll know everything when you're freed from sin
Prabhupada will free you when you are sincere
to execute life's mission and rise above all fear,
and when you chant Shri Krishna's Names,
with all of your heart,
from Prabhupada and Krishna,
you shall never depart!
But what are the Names he asks me to chant?
Just chant Hare Krishna and don't say you can't!!!
For the Hare Krishna mantra is the perfect prayer,
consisting of Krishna's Names,
for us to chant and bless,everywhere.
Please chant these Names Divine all the time,
and a life sublime you will surely find,
you'll be praying to Krishna to give His protection
for by engaging fully in His service,
you will experience love's perfection.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
Shrila Prabhupada is a pure servant,
of Krishna or God,
and he will be with you,
when you want to do your job,
along with Lord Shri Krishna,
he'll guide you sure and clear,
when Krishna's Holy Names,
you truly do hear.
And when you hear Krishna's Names,
all will be revealed,
Shrila Prabhupada and his eternal zeal,
to deliver the world from all its distress
and make us all supremely blessed.
And what indeed is supremely blessed?
Pleasing Prabhupada in Krishna Consciousness.
You'll know when you are there,
Krishna does declare,
for your pleasure shall increase,
forever everywhere!!!!!
