'Hare Krishna,

Here i am giving self created and written a Hindi poem on praise of GOD.Please read.

भगवद् महिमा

कण कण में है भगवान , तेरी महिमा बड़ी महान ।

कृष्णा , इशू , नानक , बुद्धा , कितने है तेरे नाम ,

सर्वत्र है तेरी छाया , ये संसार है तेरी माया ,

ढूंढा तुझको जग जग , तुमको कंही न पाया ,  

जब ढूँढ़ा अपने अंदर , तब देखी तेरी काया ,

कण कण में है भगवान , तेरी महिमा बड़ी महान ।

अग्नि, जल , वायु , आकाश, पृथ्वी , से किया सृष्टि का निर्माण ,

सृष्टि का पालन भी तुझसे होता और तुझसे ही होता है संहार ,

सुख भी तुझसे

I randomly opened Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta yesterday and this beautiful verse, with an enlightening purport by Srila Prabhupada, opened up.

Q : What is the meaning of word Prabhupada ?
Answer:

kāśī-miśra kahe, — āmi baḍa bhāgyavān
mora gṛhe ‘prabhu-pādera’ habe avasthāna (CC Madhya 10.23)

Translation:
When Kāśī Miśra heard the proposal, he said, “I am very fortunate that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the Lord of all prabhus, will stay at my home.”

Srila Prabhupad

The disciple and spiritual master are never separated because the spiritual master always keeps company with the disciple as long as the disciple follows strictly the instructions of the spiritual master. This is called the association of vani (words). Srimad Bhagavatam 4.28.47, Srila Prabhupada
