A Folklore on Srila Prabhupad

Had you not been there

I would have been a tree

Without even a root

Nowhere to put my foot

Brought out the Chariot

Letting all pull the lariat 

Of the great Lord God

With thousands cheer and laud

To know you gave books

Filled not just with words

But with powerful message

And the ultimate knowledge

Your wisdom has flooded 

At large, the barren world

My senses too small

To take and hold it full.

That which taken as well,

To practice, I am unable!

Prabhupad, unto you my Master,

I bow down and surrender.

Selfless soul

In an attempt to turn this thought into reality, we designed and developed an Android and an iPhone/iPad application called as “Krishna Drive”
