Suddha Bhakata Carana Renu

The dust from the lotus feet of pure devotees gives rise to devotional service, and service to the devotees is itself the supreme perfection and the root of the tender creeper of divine love.

With great care I observe holy days like Ekādaśī and Janmāṣṭamī, for they are the mother of devotion. And with the greatest reverence and love I choose as my dwelling place the transcendental abode of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

In the company of loving devotees I will visit all those places where my Lord Gaurasundara traveled and performed His pastimes.

My mind always begs to hear the music of the mṛdaṅga, and my heart dances in ecstasy whenever I hear the kind of kīrtana established by Lord Gauracandra.

I feel supreme bliss when I behold the Deity forms of the divine couple, Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, and I conquer all worldly illusions by honoring the Lord's prasādam.

Every day Goloka Vṛndāvana appears in my home when I see Lord Hari being worshiped there. My joy knows no bounds when I see the Ganges, a river of nectar emanating from the Lord's lotus feet.

The sight of the tulasī plant soothes my soul, for I know she gives pleasure to Lord Kṛṣṇa. I feel that my life has been fulfilled when I honor śāk, a green leafy vegetable preparation that is a favorite of Lord Caitanya's.

Whatever Bhaktivinoda obtains that furthers devotional service to Śrī Kṛṣṇa he accepts every day with the greatest joy.
