Vaiśiṣṭyāṣṭaka — Eight Prayers Glorifying The Distinctive Characteristics Of My Spiritual Master, Vrndavana, Radha Damodara, 1961
From Miscellaneous Songs by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
Eight verses glorifying the distinctive qualities of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, composed at Radha-Damodara Mandira in Vrindavana in 1961, two years after Vrindavane Bhajan and in the same place — continuing a practice, across these years at Radha-Damodara, of returning again and again in verse to reflection on his own guru and on what real spiritual life actually requires, before his 1965 departure for America.
