Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada.
Unto the Vaishnavas, who are like wish-fulfilling trees for all who approach them, who are oceans of mercy, and who are the purifiers of the fallen souls, I offer my repeated obeisances.
About Guru Tattva
A short guru-vandana kirtan rather than a single poet's composition: a repeated refrain of 'Jaya Prabhupada' honoring the title given to a foremost spiritual master, followed by the well-known traditional Vaishnava pranama mantra — unto the Vaishnavas, wish-fulfilling trees, oceans of mercy, purifiers of the fallen, repeated obeisances — a verse quoted throughout Gaudiya literature and commonly sung to open kirtan programs and public functions. No individual author is recorded for this piece, and none could be confidently identified.
