As followers of Srila Prabhupada we are happy to hear this Vyasapuja offering by Srila Prabhupada to his Guru Maharaja

Adore Ye All the Happy Day

Vyasapuja Offering

by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

In 1936, Srila Prabhupada was in Bombay when he composed and offered two historic tributes to his spiritual master, His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur: this poem and an essay entitled "The Universal Teacher". Both were published in The Harmonist on the occasion of the vyasapuja celebration of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur's appearance. The poem delighted Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, who appreciated the sixth stanza in particular, noting that it captured the essence of his preaching work: defeating impersonalism.

Srila Prabhupada sometimes mentioned this for example in his lecture on 10th December
1975 Hydrabad

1. Adore, adore ye all
The happy day.
Blessed than heaven,
Sweeter than May,
When he appeared at Puri
The holy place,
My Lord and Master
His Divine Grace.

2. Oh! My Master
The evangelic angel.
Give us thy light,
Lite up thy candle.
Struggle for existence
A human race.
The only hope
His Divine Grace.

3. Misled we are
All going astray,
Save us Lord
Our fervent pray.
Wonder thy ways
To turn our face
Adore thy feet
Your Divine Grace.

4. Forgotten Krishna
We fallen souls,
Paying most heavy
The illusion’s toll.
Darkness around
All untrace.
The only hope
His Divine Grace.

5. Message of Service
Thou hast brought.
A healthful life
As Chaitanya wrought.
Unknown to all
It’s full of brace.
That’s your gift
Your Divine Grace.

6. Absolute is sentient
Thou hast proved;
Impersonal calamity
Thou hast moved.
This gives us a life
Anew and fresh,
Worship thy feet
Your Divine Grace.

7. Had you not come
Who has told
The message of Krishna
Forceful and bold.
That’s your right
You have the mace.
Save me a fallen
Your Divine Grace.

8. The line of service
As drawn by you
Is pleasing and healthy
Like morning dew.
The oldest of all
But in new dress
Miracle done
Your Divine Grace.
