Prayer to Srila Prabhupada by Ananta das Sastri

[Paramananda das]

PAMHO AGTSP

Today is the first time anyone wrote me an offering like their Guru and cooked a feast in honor of me (I asked it be cooked in Srila Prabhupadas honor), as it is my birthday.My spiritual master Om Visnupada Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja, used his Vyasa puja to worship his Guru Maharaja and all previous acaryas, and Srila Prabhupada.Also he did the same

on Guru purnima.Vyasa puja is not a day to   recieve   financial (gifts) contributions, but to worship ones spiritual master.

I offer this prayer to Srila Prabhupada that I used to chant daily many years ago by Ananta das Sastri, I will try to remember to chant it regularly

as it is an important prayer:

krsnaika-ceta mada-moha-vinasa-karin mad-drsti-gocara prabho prabhupada-svamin dosabhivrtti-paridusita-manda-buddhe sancintayami caranau tava bhakti-heto

"O Lord, O Prabhupada, may you always be the object of my vision. Only the name of Krsna can destroy my pride and illusion. Although my mind and intelligence are contaminated by wicked inclinations, I nevertheless take shelter of Your Divine Grace by constant meditation upon your lotus feet in causeless devotion."

vrndavane ramana-reti-prasiddha-bhumau tatrapi krsna-balarama-supada-mule jnanam param parama-krsna-sudharmity uktam dantas tu deva prabhupada namo namaste

"In the most holy land of Sri Vrndavana Dhama, in Ramana Reti, at the lotus feet of Sri Krsna-Balarama, you are preaching the topmost knowledge of Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is the fountainhead of religion. O master of the senses, O my Lord, Srila Prabhupada, let me offer my obeisances unto you."

namaste namaste krpa-purna-drsti namaste namaste mahananda-dhatri namamo namama punar raksa raksa prasiddha-prabho pahi mam daksa daksa

"I offer my obeisances unto the spiritual master of the entire world, His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, whose glances are full of mercy and who is the bestower of transcendental bliss. O renowned lord, please protect me and kindly shower your compassion on me again and again."

bhaktisiddhanta-sisyaya bhaktivedanta-swami-namine prasannaya prasantaya tasmai sri-gurave nama

"Let me offer my obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master, who is a disciple of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada, who is always calm and joyful, and who in known by the name of Bhaktivedanta Swami."

sri-vanga-bhumi-jana-bhusana gaura-lila gauranga-bhava parisarana-matra-sila radha-madhava-pada-padma-mano-vilasin ananda-rasi prabhupada namo namas te

"The land of Bengal is worshipable by the whole world because Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu performed His pastimes there. I offer my obeisances unto Srila Prabhupada, who is full of bliss. He is always in the ecstasy of Lord Gauranga and is therefore immersed in the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Madhava."

your humble servant
