This album is dedicated to the mission of my Spiritual Master A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada of preaching the message of Lord Caitanya and His Sankirtana Movement.!

 

Sri-Sri-Gurv-astaka (7:00)

by Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura

 

Samsara-davanala lidha-loka

Tranaya karunya-ghanaghanatvam

praptasya kalyana-gunarnavasya

vande guroh sri-caranaravindam.

The spiritual master is receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy. Just as a cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master delivers the materially afflicted world by extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is an ocean of auspicious qualities.

Jaya Gurudev

 

Mahaprabhoh kirtana-nrtya-gita

vaditra-madyan-manso rasena

romanca-kampasru-taranga-bhajo

vande guroh sri caranaravindam.

Chanting the Holy Name, dancing in ecstasy, singing and playing musical instruments, the spiritual master is always gladdened by the Sankirtana Movement of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Because he is relishing the mellows of pure devotion within his mind, sometimes his hair stands on end, he feels quivering in his body, and tears flow from his eyes like waves. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

Jaya Gurudev

 

Sri-vigraharadhana-nitya-nana

srngara-tan-mandira-marjanadau

yuktasya bhaktams ca niyunjato 'pi

vande guroh sri-caranaravindam.

The spiritual master is always engaged in the temple worship of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna. He also engages his disciples in such worship. They dress the Deities in beautiful clothes and ornaments, clean Their temple and perform other similar worship of the Lord. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

Jaya Gurudev

 

Catur-vidha-sri-bhagavat prasada

svadv-anna-triptan hari-bhakta-sanaghan

kritvaiva triptim bhajatah sadaiva

vande guroh sri-caranaravindam.

The spiritual master is always offering Krishna four kinds of delicious food (analyzed as that which is licked, chewed, drunk and sucked). When the spiritual master sees that the devotees are satisfied by eating bhagavat-prasada, he is satisfied. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

Jaya Gurudev

 

Sri-radhika-madhavayor apara

madhurya-lila-guna-rupa-namnam

pratiksanasvadana-lolupasya

vande guroh sri-caranaravindam.

The spiritual master is always eager to hear and chant about the unlimited, conjugal pastimes of Radhika and Madhava, and Their qualities, names and forms. The spiritual master aspires to relish these at every moment. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

Jaya Gurudev

 

Nikunja-yuno rati-keli-siddhyai

ya yalibhir yuktir apeksaniya

tatrati-daksyad ati-vallabhasya

vande guroh sri caranaravindam.

The spiritual master is very dear because he is expert is assisting the gopis, who at different times make different tasteful arrangements for the perfection of Radha and Krishna's conjugal loving affairs within the groves of Vrindavana. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

Jaya Gurudev

 

Saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair

uktas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih

kintu prabhor yah priya eva tasya

vande guroh sri-caranaravindam.

The spiritual master is to be honored as much as the Supreme Lord because he is the most confidential servitor of the Lord. This is acknowledged in all revealed scriptures and followed by all authorities. Therefore I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is a bona fide representative of Sri Hari.

Jaya Gurudev

 

Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasado

yasyaprasadan na gatih kuto'pi

dhyayam stuvams tasya yasas tri-sandhyam

vande guroh sri-caranaravindam. 

By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krishna. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement. Therefore, I should always remember and praise the spiritual master. At least three times a day I should offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master.

Jaya Gurudev

Srila-Prabhupada-Pranati (5:30)

Nama Om Visnu padaya Krishna-presthaya bu-tale

Srimate Bhaktivedanta Svamin iti namine

I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A. C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,

who is very dear to Lord Krishna, having taken shelter at His Lotus feet.

 

Namas te sarasvati deve gaura-vani-pracarine

Nirvisesa-sunyavadi-pascatya-desa-tarine

Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Sarasvati Gosvami. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Caitanya-deva and delivering the Western countries which are filled with impersonalism and voidism.

 

Namo maha vadanya Krishna prema pradayate

Krishnaya Krishna Caitanya Namne gaura tvise namaha

O most munificent incarnation! You are Krishna Himself appearing as Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. You have assumed the golden color of Srimati Radharani and you are widely distributing pure love of Krishna. We offer our respectful obeisances unto you.

 

Namo brahmanya devaya go brahmana hitaya ca

Jagat hitaya Krishnaya Govindaya namo namaha

I offer my respectful obeisances to the Supreme Absolute Truth, Krishna, who is the well wisher of the cows and the brahmanas,as well as the living entities in general. I offer my repeated obeisances to Govinda, the pleasure reservoir of all the senses.

Jaya Gurudev / Jaya Prabhpad

Sri Krishna Caitanya (6:10)

Jaya Sri Krishna Caitanya Prabhu Nityananda

Jai Advaita Gadadhara Srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda

I offer my obeisances to Sri Krishna Caitanya, Prabhu Nityananda, Sri Advaita, Gadadhara, Srivasa and all others in the line of devotion.

Hare Krishna 1 (4:50)

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

The word Hara is the form of addressing the energy of the Lord and the words Krishna and Rama are forms of addressing the Lord Himself. Both Krishna and Rama mean "the supreme pleasure", and Hara is the the supreme pleasure energy of the Lord, changed to Hare in the vocative.

All Glories to Sri Caitanya and Nityananda. All glories to Sri Advaita Acarya and His consort, Sri Sita Thakurani.

All glories to Lord Hari, the spiritual master, the Vaisnavas, Srimad Bhagavatam and Srimad Bhagavad-gita.

Hare Krishna 2 (4:45)

Special Man (5:40)

By Jake Carignan / © 1977 Golden Moon Music

(1) In nineteen hundred and sixty-five

The western world came alive

For there entered into this land

A very, very Special Man.

 

(2) Coming here on His Guru's command

At sixty-nine, He was not a young man

After struggling hard for over a year

Finally we began to hear.

Krishna He!-Rama He!

 

(3) After Chanting Hare Krishna in Thomkins Park

The newspapers finally made a remark

No one really knew then or had any idea

What the Swamiji brought from India.

 

(4) The Transcendental message of the Bhagavatam

Into our language this knowledge has come

Now by the Mercy of His Divine Grace

Pure love of God has taken lust's place

And the bliss of the Holy Name of God we now taste.

 

(5) With no help from His god brothers or anyone

Officials of India or even His own sons

Starting in the Bowery then on to San Francisco Bay

Trying to give the West a chance to be saved.

 

(6) As time went on the movement grew in size

And then everyone began to realize

Prabhupad would not be with us for very long

What are we going to do when He's gone?

-Prabhupad (7x), Jaya (Jagat) Gurudev!

 

(7) Speaking the words of the Supersoul

Surely He satisfied His Spiritual Master's goal

Giving the unfortunate pure devotional service

Giving us freely the key to spiritual bliss.

 

(8) Now Prabhupad is gone, His reputation rests on us

We must teach the world what He has taught us

Just as His purity reflects on us

So must our activities make Him Glorious!

 

(9) In nineteen hundred and seventy-seven

Srila Prabhupad returned to Heaven

Leaving us here to fulfill His plans

He was a very Special Man.

This album is dedicated to the mission of my Spiritual Master A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada of preaching the message of Lord Caitanya and His Sankirtana Movement.!
