Eight Pranam-mantras for Srila Gurudeva
Prayers To Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja

ajñana timirandhasya jñan anjana ṣalakaya
cakur unmilitam yena tasmai śri gurave namah

I was born in the darkness of ignorance and my divine master opened my eyes with the torch of divine knowledge. I bow down to him. 
1)
vande ‘ham śrī guruvaram
śrī rūpānugā pravaram
vraja-rasa rasikaṁ ca
nārāyaṇam taṁ prapannam

I adore the greatest of divine masters, Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja; he is the foremost of the followers of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and the rūpānuga-guruvarga, and he is always relishing vraja-rasa—I surrender unto him.
2)
śrī guru-caranaṁ vande
ramaṇa preṣṭhāya bhūtale
rūpānugā bhaktidaṁ ca
kṛpa murti nārāyaṇam

I bow down to the lotus feet of the embodiment of mercy, Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja; he is dearly loved by Śrī Ramaṇa-bihārī, and he gives the treasure of rūpānugā-bhakti, transcendental spontenous love and devotion to God.
3)
sevā kuñje vraje ramye
govardhana girau sadā
rādhā kuṇḍe rasānande
tat tat sevā pradāyakam

Śrīla Gurudeva is eternally residing in the beautiful Sevā-kuñja of Vraja, at Mount Giri Govardhana, and at Rādhā-kuṇḍa lagoon. There, he is immersed in the bliss of nectarean mellows of rasa, and he grants entrance into the service of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa as Their maidservant.
4)
guruṁ nārāyanākhyam tam
vande vinoda preṣṭhakam
yat pāda smṛti mātrena
dāmodara prasīdati

I pray to Śrīla Gurudeva, Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja, who is very dear to Śrī Vinoda Mañjari. Simply by remembering his lotus feet one pleases Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Damodara.
5)
nārāyaṇam prabhum vande
karuṇāghana vigraham
rāga-mārga bhaktim dattvā
tārayati tribhūvanam

I offer my respects unto Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja; he is the reservior of boundless compassion, and he bestows the path of rāga-bhakti, thus delivering the three worlds.
6)
gaurahari paraṁ-preṣṭha
nityānanda abhinnaka
śrī-gaura-nārāyaṇa bhakta-
bāndhava priya-sevaka

“Śrī Gaura Nārāyaṇa is very dear to Gaurahari and is a non-different manifestation of Nityānanda Prabhu. He is the friend of all devotees and the dearest of sevakas.”
7)
nārāyaṇam gurum-vande
śaranyam bhakta-bāndhavam
gaura-manobhiṣṭam pūrnam
rādhā-dasyam-pradāyakam

I offer prayers unto Śrīla Gurudeva, Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja, who, as Bhakta-bāndhava, is the most worthy shelter for everyone. He fulfills the inner-heart desire of Gaurahari and bestows rādhā-dasyam, the position of being Rādhārānī’s intimate maidservant.
8)
rūpānugācarya-varyaṁ
rūpa-mañjari-preṣṭhakam
patita-pāvana-bāndhava
yugācarya nārāyaṇam

Śrīla Gurudeva is the foremost of the Ācāryas in the line of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī in the present era, and is the dearmost of Śrī Rūpa Mañjari. He purifies the fallen through his friendship, and he is the principle spiritual preceptor of this age.

The Yorkminster Citadel of the Salvation, Army in Toronto, Canada runs many programs and provides vital community services. This is the story of one of their community services - the local food bank - and the volunteers working there to help people. I'll be uploading various mixes in the future and some spotlights as I think it's important to become aware t only of what is being done but the many warm, loving people whom make it possible. I'm sure they would greatly appreciate any donations and if in the Toronto, Canada area I'm sure they could use your help as a volunteer.

Sant Giani Inderjit Singh Ji, in explaining the passage below, includes a personal story of when he was traveling with Chakravarti [forever moving] Budha Dal in the area Bathinda [during the 1960s].
