What else do I want other than Srila Prabhupada’s Lotus feet?
By Kanhaiya Das
“What else do I want other than Srila Prabhupada’s Lotus feet?
In this age of hypocrisy and hatredness that’s my only treat
Who else will remind me of my eternal relationship that I have forgotten,
Just due to the same reason – many million life times, here I have rotten,
When there was so darkness and the path in front I couldn’t see….
When everyone else has given up hopes and abandoned me,
What else do I need other than His Lotus Feet,
Which promise me the world –
The world of love and not hatred,
The world of care and not enviousness
The world of light and not darkness…
The world of association and not isolation…”
O my beloved Master, please accept me as I am,
I may be dirt or a piece of wood, with no real plan,
I am in a forest, that’s quite dense and full of vultures,
My only hope is that you touch me with your lotus feet
And to make my life some sense, carve me with your orders –
Srila Prabhupada, I simply want to carry out
Your dream of Krishna’s name in everyone’s hearts – it is all about
You did it via your books, and left them for us,
They are yet to be distributed, can’t live longer on dusty shelves
Srila Prabhupada, you bring smile to all these dejected souls,
You teach us how to surrender to Krishna, forgetting our mundane material roles,
I wish to see your beautiful face, each morning I am awake,
There is so much you have to give more than my dull mind can take..
A simple message of Lord Chaitanya you deliver – a message for Love of Godhead,
Chanting dancing and feasting will bring all the joy, millions of times you have said…
Srila Prabhupada, your smile is the source of my happiness, I must say,
May You live in my heart, right by Krishna, I always pray, I always pray…….
