    Prabhupda, 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
    Bhaktisiddhnta Sarasvat Gosvmi. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord
    Caitanyadeva and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with
    impersonalism and voidism. || "

    "O most munificent incarnation! You are Krishna Himself appearing as Shr Krishna

    yat pjitam may deva pariprnam tad astu me

    O my Lord, O Janardana, whatever little pja or worship that has been performed by
    me, although it is without devotion, without proper mantras, and without the proper
    performance, please let that become complete.

    yad-dattam bhakti-mtrena patram pushpam phalam jalam


    veditam nivedyan tu tad grihnnukampay

    Whatever has been offered with devotionthe leaf, the flower, the water, the fruit, the
    food offeringplease accept it out of Your causeless mercy.

    Whatever has happened without the proper chanting of the mantra, or without following
    the proper procedure, kindly forgive all that.

    ajnd athav jnd ashubham yan may kritam

    sthitihi sev gatir ytr smritish cint stutir vacaha
    bhyt sarvtman vishno madyam tvayi ceshtitam

    Whatever inauspicious things I have done out of ignorance or unknowingly, please


    forgive that, and accept me as Your insignificant servant. Let my normal condition be
    service, let my movement be holy pilgrimage, let my thought be remembrance of You,
    let my words be glorification of You. O Vishnu, let my activities with my whole mind,
    body and soul, be engaged in You.

    apardha-sahasrni kriyante har-nisham may


    dso ham iti mm matv kshamasva madhusdana
    Thousands of offences are performed by me day and night. But thinking of me as Your
    servant, kindly forgive those, O Madhusdana.

    pratij tava govinda na me bhaktaha pranashyati


    iti samsmritya samsmritya prnn sandhraymy aham

    O Govinda, Your promise is that Your devotee will never perish. By remembering this
    over and over again, I am able to retain my life-airs.
