"I offer
my humble obeisances unto His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
who is very dear to Lord Krsna on this Earth, having taken shelter at
His lotus feet. Taking the order of his guru on his head, he became empowered
by Nityananda Prabhu to act as a saktyavesa avatara. He distributed the Hare
Krsna mantra all over the Eastern and Western world, delivering and uplifting
all fallen souls. He is the best of millions of jagat-gurus, because he is the personification
of divine mercy. He has distributed the sweet nectar of Srimad-Bhagavatam and the transcendental
knowledge of Bhagavad-gita all over the world. He
is constantly engaged in exclusive devotional service to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta
Sarasvati Thakur, Srila Rupa Gosvami, and Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu. I offer
my humble obeisances unto Srila Prabhupada, who is like a bumblebee always
tasting the nectar of the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha and Govinda."
(Composed by Swami B.S. Govinda Maharaja)
