  PRAYERS FOR PROTECTION FROM

  THE SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM.

  
  mām ugra-dharmād akhilāt pramādān
  nārāyaṇaḥ pātu naraś ca hāsāt
  dattas tv ayogād atha yoga-nāthaḥ
  pāyād guṇeśaḥ kapilaḥ karma-bandhāt
  
  May Lord Nārāyaṇa protect me from unnecessarily

  following false religious systems and falling from

  my duties due to madness. May the Lord in His

  appearance as Nara protect me from unnecessary

  pride. May Lord Dattātreya, the Master of all mystic

  power, protect me from falling while performing

  bhakti-yoga, and may Lord Kapila, the Master of

  all good qualities, protect me from the material

  bondage of fruitive activities.
  
  
  māḿ keśavo gadayā prātar avyād
  govinda āsańgavam ātta-veṇuḥ
  nārāyaṇaḥ prāhṇa udātta-śaktir
  madhyan-dine viṣṇur arīndra-pāṇiḥ
  
  May Lord Keśava protect me with His club in the

  first portion of the day, and may Govinda, who

  is always engaged in playing His flute, protect

  me in the second portion of the day. May Lord

  Nārāyaṇa, who is equipped with all potencies,

  protect me in the third part of the day, and

  may Lord Viṣṇu, who carries a disc to kill His

  enemies, protect me in the fourth part of the day.
  
  devo 'parāhṇe madhu-hogradhanvā
  sāyaḿ tri-dhāmāvatu mādhavo mām
  doṣe hṛṣīkeśa utārdha-rātre
  niśītha eko 'vatu padmanābhaḥ
  
  May Lord Madhusūdana, who carries a bow very

  fearful for the demons, protect me during the

  fifth part of the day. In the evening, may Lord

  Mādhava, appearing as Brahmā, Viṣṇu and

  Maheśvara, protect me, and in the beginning

  of night may Lord Hṛṣīkeśa protect me. At the

  dead of night (in the second and third parts

  of night) may Lord Padmanābha alone protect me.
  
  śrīvatsa-dhāmāpara-rātra īśaḥ
  pratyūṣa īśo 'si-dharo janārdanaḥ
  dāmodaro 'vyād anusandhyaḿ prabhāte
  viśveśvaro bhagavān kāla-mūrtiḥ
  
  May the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who bears

  the Śrīvatsa on His chest, protect me after midnight

  until the sky becomes pinkish. May Lord Janārdana,

  who carries a sword in His hand, protect me at the

  end of night (during the last four ghaṭikās of night).

  May Lord Dāmodara protect me in the early morning,

  and may Lord Viśveśvara protect me during the

  junctions of day and night.

   

  With love and best wishes, take care, bye, Radhe Radhe.

  Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

  May you be transcendentally blessed by the God of Gods;

  the Lord of all the mystics; the Supreme Personality of

  Godhead, Lord Krishna, Who is glorified by the selected

  verses uttered by great personalities. We never tire of

  hearing the transcendental pastimes of the Personality

  of Godhead, Lord Krishna, Who is glorified by hymns and

  prayers. Those who have developed a taste for transcendental

  relationships with Him relish hearing of His pastimes at

  every moment. The Supreme occupation (dharma) for all

  humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional

  service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service

  must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy

  the soul. By rendering devotional service unto the Personality

  of Godhead, Shri Krishna, one immediately acquires causeless

  knowledge and detachment from the world. Therefore, with

  one-pointed attention, one should constantly hear about, 

  glorify, remember and worship the Personality of Godhead, Shri

  Krishna, Who is the protector of the devotees. Shri Krishna, the

  Personality of Godhead, Who is the Paramatma 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. 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. Thus the devotee is established in 

  goodness, and he becomes completely happy. With love and best

  wishes, take care, bye.
