Srila Prabhupada Stotram
Krsnaika Ceta Mada Moha Vinasa
O Lord, O Prabhupāda, may you always be the object of my vision. Only the name of Kṛṣṇa can destroy my pride and illusion. Although my mind and intelligence are contaminated by wicked inclinations, I nevertheless take shelter of Your Divine Grace by constant meditation upon your lotus feet in causeless devotion.
In the most holy land of Vṛndāvana, in Ramaṇa Reti, at the lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma, you are preaching the topmost knowledge of Kṛṣṇa the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is the fountainhead of religion. O master of the senses, O my Lord, Śrīla Prabhupāda, let me offer my obeisances unto you.
I offer my obeisances unto the spiritual master of the entire world, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, whose glances are full of mercy and who is the bestower of transcendental bliss. O renowned lord, protect me and kindly shower your compassion on me again and again.
Let me offer my obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master, who is a disciple of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Saraswati Ṭhākura, who is always calm and joyful, and who is known by the name of Bhaktivedanta Swami.
The land of Bengal is worshipable by the whole world because Śrī Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu performed His pastimes there. I offer my obeisances unto my divine master, who is full of bliss. He is always in the ecstasy of Lord Gaurāṅga and is therefore immersed in the lotus feet of Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava. (Note: This stotram was composed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciple Ananta Dāsa Śāstrī and first sung directly in the presence of Śrīla Prabhupāda at Śrī Candrodaya Mandira, Māyāpur Dhāma at Gaura Pūrṇimā just before daily Guru pūjā in 1976. Śrīla Prabhupāda very much liked these five ślokas.)
