svami sri bhakti-vedanta prabhupadaya te namah

I offer my humble obeisance’s unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami

Prabhupada, who is very dear to Sri Krsna on this earth, having taken shelter

at His lotus feet.

hare-krsneti mantrena pascatya-pracya-tarine

Taking the order of his guru upon his head, he became empowered by Nityananda

Prabhu to act as a saktyavesa avatara. He distributed the Hare Krsna mantra

all over the eastern and western world, delivering and uplifting all fallen

souls.

He is the best of millions of jagad-gurus, because he is the personification

of divine mercy. He has distributed the sweet nectar of Srimad Bhagavatam and

the transcendental knowledge of Bhagavad-gita all over the world.
