Srila Prabhupada Stotra

Srila Prabhupada Stotra

Following is a stotra a glorification for Srila Prabhupada composed and recited by a scholar in vrndavana named Ananta Shastri in front of Srila Prabhupada in the presence of devotees is his last days. This prayer used to be recited in front of Srila Prabhupada Samadhi Mandir before Prabhupada Samadhi Mangala Arati in 1980-1990. Its very good prayer so devotees can take advantage and recite everyday and get special mercy of Srila Prabhupada. Translated by - Prem Nidhi Das (Vrindavana)

Srila Prabhupada Stotra By- Ananta Shastri

Krsnaika ceta mada moha vinasa karin
Mad drsti gocara prabho prabhupada swamin,
Dosa nivritti para duhsita manda budhim
Sanchintayami caranau tava bhakti hetoh.

Translation- Oh Srila Prabhuapada ! You have kindly awakened us to Krishna consciousness and have destroyed madness and illusion from the root, oh my master Srila Prabhupada, please have your kind glance upon me. Only by your kind mercy will I be able to free myself from the materialistic faults, fully impure and have very dull intelligence, hence constantly thinking of your lotus feet, I will try to perform devotional service

Vrndavane-ramanareti prasiddha bhumau
Tatrapi krsna-balarama supada mule,
Jnanam param parama krsna sudharmi tyuktam
Dantastu deva prabhupada namo namaste.

Translation- The place known as Ramanareti in Sri Vrindavana Dham and is situated in the middle of the famaus pious Vraja mandal area. (Uttar Pradesh). Srila Prabhupada established Sri Krishna Balaram Mandir at the place where Krishna Balarama perform many pastimes like tending the calves, their divine lotus feet has sanctified the sand in that area. He prepared the place where one can pursue knowledge and devotion to Krishna by the supreme religious devotees who aspire for supreme destination. I offer my respectful obeisances with straw between teeth to that divinely empowered Srila Prabhupada.

Namaste namaste krpa purna drste
Namaste namaste maha-nanda date,
Namamo namama punah raksa raksa
Videhi dayam payibo daksa daksa.

Translation- Oh Prabhupada, obeisances unto you again and again, please bestow your merciful glance, please bestow divine bliss, please protect me from all types dangers, if with your supreme kindness I will obtain the expertise to perform devotional service. I offer my obeisances to your divine grace again and again.

Bhakti-siddhanta sisyaya, bhaktivedanta namine
Prasantaya prasanmaya tasmai sri gurave nama

Translation- Srila Prabhupada ! You are the dearest disciple of your Guru Maharaja Srila Bhakti-Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami, your divine name is A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, your are always peaceful and content, I offer my respectful obeisances unto you who is my spirtual master.

Aksino phala tvadrsam darsanam hi
Tano phalam tvadrsam gatra sangah,
Jihva phalam tvadrsam kirtanam hi
Sudurlabha bhagavatam hi loke.

Translation- The perfection of the eyes are certainly to have glance of your form (darsanam), the perfection of body is to have your kind and direct association, the perfection of the tongue is to chant your divine glories since it is certainly very rare to find a Bhagavata devotee in this world.


Jai Srila Prabhupada !

I am not a scholar so imperfections are inevitable please correct me if any required. I am open for corrections. Small spelling mistakes and diacritics pls understand and adjust. My request is that all devotees should keep a printed copy for their perusal and recite everyday.

BBT Media

Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

For the past couple of years, the North European BBT has been busy converting its library into quality ebooks in all current formats. Near the end of 2011 we announced that devotees could download Prabhupada's books for free from our website, bbtmedia.com

A whopping 150,000 downloads later, we feel this program was a success!

Now that we have Srila Prabhupada's English language books converted, we're working diligently on all the languages the North European BBT publishes. And we're beginning to upload other material to the site – audio books (the first volume of the Brhad-Bhagavatamrta is up, narrated by Kesava Bharati Maharaja along with a number of recordings of Srila Prabhupada's books), podcasts, and BBT art images.

To make sure all visitors to the site have a streamlined experience, we have decided to close the complimentary ebook section at the end of July.

If you did not manage to get Srila Prabhupada's books in ebook format from us for free, write to complimentary@pamho.net to request them.

your servant,
Kaisori Dasi
on behalf of the North European BBT
