nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale
srimate gour govinda -svamin iti namine

nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale
srimate bhaktivedanta-svami iti namine

Gurudeva,I don’t have the qualification to glorify you.Who am I to try,who still cannot control the six urges.

Gurudeva,all I can do is just beg for your mercy so as I can get your association.
By having your association I may develop the senses by which I can understand your glories in full.

Gurudeva, it is difficult for me to do my bhajan without you being physically present, but I have firm faith in your following words “Guru is never gone, he is always present” Even though I cannot see you but I firmly believe you will be there for us always.

Gurudeva, this material world is difficult to overcome, so please take me to your lotus feet where I can take complete shelter.

Gurudeva, this material world is getting harsher & harsher & progressing quickly towards hell. Its always hot like a blazing fire & by taking shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Guru then a condition soul like me can get peace, because the lotus feet of Sri Guru is the cooling place like the shining of millions of moons.

Begging for your mercy always.
Your servant
