As I walked around Vraj, I saw this baba (holy man) a few times. Each time, the congregation showed him the utmost respect. I was intrigued. On Govardhan puja some friends invited me to go for a special kirtan. There was the Baba! He sang so melodiously and with devotional passion. I was honored to be asked to drum for him. His name is Vinod Baba, he lives in Barsana.

HH Indradyumna Swami - Hare Krsna kirtan

This English prayer was offered to Srila Prabhupada in Calcutta, 1971, by Yamuna Devi. Now on the 4th anniversary of Yamuna Devi rejoining Srila Prabhupada, we offer this to Yamuna's dearest friend, Dina, who no doubt misses her and Srila Prabhupada beyond what can be expressed.

Our enormous thanks to Govinda Ghosh, who worked around the clock with anyone who walked in to his home to be a part of this offering. He worked so hard, but said he just wants to do something nice for Dina.

Nitya Amara Shri Guru
English prayer to Srila Prabhupada by Yamuna Devi, 1971
Adaptation and Bengali translation by Shrivas Beriault
1)
Sahasra-koti jiva, samsara bhramiya, koti-koti-janma gelo
Kichu dhanya-jana, bhakti-lata-dhana, guru-krishna-krpaya pelo

Thousands, millions of souls, are wandering this world, for millions of births. Some fortunate ones attain the treasure of devotion, which is like a beautiful, blooming vine, by the mercy of Guru and Krishna.

Chorus:
Nitya amara sri guru, ei krpa magi ami
Yugala-charana prema prakashite smarana kori

Oh my eternal spiritual master, I beg this mercy! May I be in constant remembrance of the dawning of love for the Divine Couple’s lotus feet.

2) Nama-guna-lila-bhakta, kirtane jagata bhuli
Tomara charana paite – ei krpa magi sada

Singing Their names, glories, pastimes, and glorifying Their devotees, may I forget this world. I beg the mercy of attaining your feet.

3) braja-kunje basi, shravana-kirtana, maha-mantra preme gai
Tomara krpaya, bhakti-lata-bija, praphullita habe tai

I pray to sit in the groves of Braja, hearing and chanting, singing the Mahamantra in great love. By your mercy, the seed of the bhakti-lata will then sprout.

4) Kapata matsarya, kama-krodha-lobha, ahankari bhakta
Nama-sankirtane, chindiya chadibo, ei saba mayara shakha

Hypocrisy, envy, lust, anger, greed, and the false devotee ego – by Nama-sankirtana may I sever and discard all these weeds of maya.

5) Vrndavane tada, radha-damodara-priya, saundarya-prakashe tara
Kataksa-darshana-paiya, hrdaya sarvanande, bhasi amara

Then, in Vrndavana, in the glow of beloved Radha-Damodara’s beauty, I will catch that wistful glance, and my heart will be consumed with all joy.

6) nitya amara sri guru, tumi sata shuddha-bhakta
Kripamayi dite sabe, radhara guhya krsna seva

O my spiritual master, you are truly a pure devotee! Mercifully, you gave us the secrets of Radha’s service to Krishna.

7) shridhama navadvipe, pibo bhakti-mata-vanya
Avidya ahankara chadi gaibo, tumi hrt-mandire sada

In Shridama Navadvipa, may I drink of the flood of devotion. Giving up arrogance and ignorance, I will sing of your place in my heart forever.  



Yamuna's Prayer To Prabhupada - for Dina from Friends

World renowned Vedic Acharya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada performs Sri Sri Sad Goswami Astakam - Prayers to the Six Goswamis.  The Six Goswamis (Sanskrit go = "senses," swami = "master") of Vrindavan were the leading disciples of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. They lived during the late fifteenth and early  sixteenth century.  By careful and extensive research, they established that the essence of all the teachings of the Vedas is Krishna consciousness, or devotional service to God (bhakti-yoga). Their writings form the basis of the Hare Krishna movement which was established world-wide by Srila Prabhupada.  Several of the Six Goswamis gave up positions of considerable wealth and influence to devote themselves to writing commentaries on the Vedas, uncovering the lost places of Krishna's pastimes in Vrindavan, and establishing temples for Krishna there that are visited to this day.
