Srila Vrndavana Dasa Thakur Disappearence

 

"Krishna's life was written in the Bhagavata of Vyasa.

The Vedavyasa for Sri Caitanya was Vrindavana Dasa.

Vrindavan das has called his book the "Caitanya Mangala"

Whoever hears his book no grave misfortunes shall befall.

Who reads it knows the glories of Caitanya and Nitai

And knows what Krishna-bhakti is, and how it is, and why.

His book contains the essence of the holy Bhagavata

And shows what Krishna-Bhakti is and what Bhakti is not.

An atheist who hears the Thakura's words will soon relent

And join the ranks of saintly men whose souls are heavensent.

No ordinary man can sing of God as he has sung:

The Lord Himself has spoken through the Thakur's holy tongue.

I bow a million times before the holy lotus feet

Of Sri Vrindavan das, whose verses are so sweet

That one who reads them shall be freed from this dark, mortal earth;

I bow a million times before the place where he took birth."
