TRANSLATION

1) My dear Lord Krishna, You are so kind upon this useless soul, but I do not

know why You have brought me here. Now You can do whatever You like with me.

 

2) But I guess You have some business here, otherwise why would You bring me

to this terrible place?

 

3) Most of the population here is covered by the material modes of ignorance

and passion. Absorbed in material life, they think themselves very happy and

satisfied, and therefore they have no taste for the transcendental message of

Vasudeva. I do not know how they will be able to understand it.

 

4) But I know Your causeless mercy can make everything possible because You

are the most expert mystic.

 

5) How will they understand the mellows of devotional service? O Lord, I am

simply praying for Your mercy so that I will be able to convince them about

Your message.

 

6) All living entities have become under the control of the illusory energy

by Your will, and therefore, if You like, by Your will they can also be

released from the clutches of illusion.

 

7) I wish that You may deliver them. Therefore if You so desire their

deliverance, then only will they be able to understand Your message.

 

8) The words of Srimad-Bhagavatam are Your incarnation, and if a sober person

repeatedly receives it with submissive aural reception, then he will be able

to understand Your message. It is said in the Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.2.17-21):

"Sri Krishna, the Personality of Godhead, who is the Paramatma [supersoul] in

everyone’s heart and the benefactor of the truthful devotee, cleanses desire

for material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who has developed the

urge to hear His messages, which are in themselves virtuous when properly heard

 

and chanted. By regular attendance in classes on the Bhagavatam and by

rendering of service to the pure devotee, all that is troublesome to the heart

is

almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of

Godhead,

who is praised with transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable

fact. As soon as irrevocable loving service is established in the heart, the

effects of nature’s modes of passion and ignorance, such as lust, desire and

hankering, disappear from the heart. Then the devotee is established in

goodness,

and he becomes completely happy. Thus established in the mode of unalloyed

goodness, the man whose mind has been enlivened by contact with devotional

service

to the Lord gains positive scientific knowledge of the Personality of Godhead

in the stage of liberation from all material association. Thus the knot in the

heart is pierced, and all misgivings are cut to pieces. The chain of fruitive

actions is terminated when one sees the self as master."

 

9) He will become liberated from the influence of the modes of ignorance and

passion and thus all inauspicious things accumulated in the core of the heart

will disappear.

 

10) How will I make them understand this message of Krishna consciousness? I

am very unfortunate, unqualified and the most fallen. Therefore I am seeking

Your benediction so that I can convince them, for I am powerless to do so on my

 

own.

 

11) Somehow or other, O Lord, You have brought me here to speak about You.

Now, my Lord, it is up to You to make me a success or failure as You like.

 

12) O spiritual master of all the worlds! I can simply repeat Your message,

so if You like You can make my power of speaking suitable for their

understanding.

 

13) Only by Your causeless mercy will my words become pure. I am sure that

when this transcendental message penetrates their hearts they will certainly

feel engladdened and thus become liberated from all unhappy conditions of life.

 

14) O Lord, I am just like a puppet in Your hands. So if You have brought me

here to dance, then make me dance, make me dance, O Lord, make me dance as You

like.

 

15) I have no devotion, nor do I have any knowledge, but I have strong faith

in the holy name of Krsna. I have been designated as Bhaktivedanta, and now,

if You like, You can fulfill the real purport of Bhaktivedanta.

 

 

Remarks/ Extra Information:

Srila Prabhupada, founder and acarya of ISKCON, wrote this bhajan while on

the ship, Jaladuta, to America. He was at the Commonwealth Pier at Boston, MA

on

September 18, 1965. Devotees from the Sri Sri Radha Gopivallabha temple in

Boston celebrate Prabhupada’s arrival day. On this poem, he specifically signs

it as the following:

 

”Signed—the most unfortunate, insignificant beggar

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami,

on board the ship Jaladuta, Commonwealth Pier,

Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

dated 18th of September, 1965”
