Śrīla-Prabhupāda-Stotram
(Composed by Ananta-rāma Śāstrī)
The following Sanskrit prayers to Śrīla Prabhupāda were composed by Śrī Ananta-Rāma Śāstri, an Indian Sanskrit scholar who was engaged by Śrīla Prabhupāda in working on the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam in 1976. Śrīla Prabhupāda appreciated these verses so much that he requested the devotees to learn them. It was composed 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.

Obeisances to the Spiritual Master
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe
I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very dear to Lord Krishna on this earth, having taken shelter at His lotus feet. Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Sarasvati Gosvami. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Chaitanya deva and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism.

कृष्णैकचेत मदमोहविनाशकारिन्
मद्दृष्टिगोचर प्रभो प्रभुपादस्वामीन् ।
दोषाभिवृत्तिपरिदूषितमन्दबुद्धेः
सञ्चिन्तयामि चरणौ तव भक्तिहेतोः ॥

O my master, O Śrīla Prabhupāda, may you always be the object of my vision. Only Kṛṣṇa can remove my pride and illusion. I constantly meditate upon your lotus feet with devotion, although my intelligence is dull and polluted by evil intentions.

O Śrīla Prabhupāda, O master of the senses, I offer my obeisance unto you. In the glorious land of Vṛndāvana, in Ramaṇa Reti, situated at the lotus feet of Śrī Śrī Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma, you preach the supreme knowledge of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is the source of the highest dharma.

नमस्ते नमस्ते कृपापूर्णदृष्टि

I offer my obeisance unto you, whose glances are full of compassion; I offer my obeisance unto you, who bestows the greatest bliss; I offer my obeisance unto you! Protect me, protect me again and again. O most renowned master, kindly protect me again and again!

श्रीवङ्गभूमिजनभूषण गौरलीला

The pastimes of Śrī Gaura are the treasure of those who have appeared in the land of Bengal. Śrīla Prabhupāda is always deeply immersed in thoughts of Mahāprabhu’s mood. His mind delights in the lotus feet of Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava. I offer my obeisance again and again unto Śrīla Prabhupāda, who is imbued with divine bliss.
