Sri Narasimha Palana Prarthana

[Paramananda das]

My dear Goduncle Kusakrata Prabhu is little known to most in ISKCON but his translations of vaisnava literatures is very waste

http://www.prabhupada.de/kusakratha.htm

http://vedicilluminations.com/kusakratha/

Kusakrata Prabhu wrote many beautiful prayers for example astakams to Srila Prabhupada like this one:

"Prabhupadadeva sankirtananastakam".

 

1) Govindadevanghri saroja bhakti,
sudharnave yas tu maha tarangaih
aplavayad yavana desam eva
namami tam Sri Prabhupadadevam

"I offer my respectfull obaisences to HDG.A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada.Churning the nectar ocean of bhakti for Lord Govindadevas
lotusfeet,he created great tidal waves that innundated the countries of the
Yavana." 

2)Aropayat kesava bhakti valli
bijan sahasresu subhesu hrtsu
gauropadesokti varena yas tu
namami tam Sri Prabhupadadevam

"I offer my respectfull obaisences to His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada.By preaching the message of Lord Caitanya, he planted
the seed of the creeper of Krsna bhakti in thousands of fortunate hearts."

3 Chittva ku-tarkan ku-kavisvaranam
Sri Krsnacandresvarata -pramanam
samsthapayaty eva krpanvito
namami tam sri Prabhupadadevam

"I offer my respectful obaisences to HDG A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
who refuted the host of impersonal and voidist theories and mercifully
established the truth-that Sri Krsnacandra is the Supreme Personality of
Godhead."

4 Kaunteya mitrasya su satya vaca
maya krtam yas tu vibhidya moham
loke janam raksati mugdhataya
namami tam sri Prabhupadadevam

"I offer my respectful obaisences to H.D.G. AC.Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada.By speaking the transcendental message of Lord Krsna,the friend of
Arjuna,he exposed maya's hoax,rescuing her victims."

vers 5
Sri Krsna mantrena saudhausadhena 
kaler yuga loka vimoha rogam,
bhitte tu vaidyah karunena dakso
Namami tam sri Prabhupadadevam

"I offer my respectfull obaisences to HDG.A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada.he became the expert transcendental physician administering the
nectar medicin of the Hare Krsna mantra and curing the people of Kali
yuga from the disease of material bewilderment.

I have to see if I can find the last 3 verses: Here is another one:

I pray that those who hear this hymn, which shines the brilliant light Of Srila Prabhupada's renown in Kali-yuga's night, Will soon attain firm faith in his instructions so that they May one day join him in Golok, and there with Krsna stay.

I last met Kusakrata Prabhu in Vrindavan in 1995 around Janmastami where he was preparing to leave his body at MVT, I  had previously given him

translation and sanskrit of 1000 names of Lord Narasimha that Satya Narayana Prabhu translated for me, and Kusakrata published in on my humble request along with some

other Narasimha Prayers stotras etc.I asked him if he minded I later post his prayers to Lord Narasimha in my book about Lord Narasimha, that I am still working on.

And he was very happy and gave me written permission to use his books, that are now" public property " Kusakrata Prabhu left his body during Kartika in Vrindavana in 2005 to enter Radha Krsnas nitya lilas :

This is the beautiful prayer and poem to Lord Narasimha that he has written
