Prayers Srila Gurudeva

Prayers at His Lotus Feet

Namah Om Vishnupaadaya sri gaura-priya murtaye
Srimate Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha Goswami namine //1//

I pay my respectful obeisances unto Om Vishnupad Srila Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha Goswami Maharaj, who is the loving personified of Sri Gaura Sundar. He is completely enlightened by His bhajan-sampada ( wealth of Bhajan), whose ornaments are his bhajan and whose senses and speech are under his control.

Maayaavaad vikhandanam guror-vaanyanu kirtanam
Pascadesopadesakam prasanna vadanam sadaa //2//

I bow down unto lotus feet of one who condemns the false-scriptures of mayavad, on the basis of bhakti-siddhanta ( the philosophy of pure devotion). You are perfect and prompt in vaisnava-philosophy of pure devotion. You are ever blissful and preaching the great philosophy around the world including western countries.

Suddhaa-bhakti pravaahakam suddhaa-bhakti bhagiratham,
Bhakti-dayita madhava abhinna tanum namaamyaham //3//

Oh bhagirath of pure devotion (one who carries pure devotion)! You are the one who is spreading the Ganges of pure devotion all over the world, and non-different from Srila Bhakti Daiyta Madhava Goswami. You are His (Srila Bhakti Daiyta Madhava Goswami's) expansion. I pay my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet.

Naam sankirtanaamrita rasaasvaada vidhaayakam,
Krishnaamnaaya kripaa murtim acaaryam tam namaamyaham //4//

Just by Hari-naam sankirtan, you generate and preach the taste of nectar of Lord Krishna's unlimited past-times, holy name, form, characteristics, lila-dham.You are deity-form (personification) of Lord Krishna's mercy and the philosophy of this disciplinic succession.. You teach and preach through your behaviour. I offer my respects unto you.

Gaur-naama pracaaraardram bhakta sevaanu aakaankshitam,
Satirtha-priti sad-bhaava naumi tirtha mahaashayam //5//

I pay my Humble obeisances unto Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj, whose soft heart has become full of nectar by continuously preaching the sweet nectarian name of Sri Gaur-hari. He - who serves all the vaisnava servants of Gauranga mahaprabhu humbly and glorifies them. Who is dear most to Srila Gurudeva (Srila Bhaktidaiyta Madhava Goswami) and to whom Srila Gurudeva is dear most, and one who is extra-ordinarily loyal and very loving to his god-brothers, I pay my respectful obeisances unto such Srila Bhakti Vallabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj.
