May Sri Krsna be pleased

[Guest guest]

"Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the all-auspicious Lord Sri

Krsna, about whom glorification, remembrances, audience, prayers, hearing

and worship can at once cleanse the effects of all sins of the performer.

 

"Let me offer my respectful obeisances again and again unto the

all-auspicious Lord Sri Krsna. The highly intellectual, simply by

surrendering unto His lotus feet, are relieved of all attachments to present

and future existences and without difficulty progress toward spiritual

existence.

 

"Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the all-auspicious Lord Sri

Krsna again and again because the great learned sages, the great performers

of charity, the great workers of distinction, the great philosophers and

mystics, the great chanters of the Vedic hymns and the great followers of

Vedic principles cannot achieve any fruitful result without dedication of

such great qualities to the service of the Lord.

 

"Kirata, Huna, Andhra, Pulinda, Pulkasa, Abhira, Sumbha, Yavana, members of

the Khasa races and even others addicted to sinful acts can be purified by

taking shelter of the devotees of the Lord, due to His being the supreme

power. I beg to offer my respectful obeisances unto Him.

 

"He is the Supersoul and the Supreme Lord of all self-realized souls. He is

the personification of the Vedas, religious scriptures and austerities. He

is worshiped by Lord Brahma and Siva and all those who are transcendental to

all pretensions. Being so revered with awe and veneration, may that Supreme

Absolute be pleased with me."
