The Fall and Redemption of Soul

I found the following nice poem in Maharaj’s diary. It was actually written by H. G. Dravida prabhu, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada, who played a major role in finishing the last three cantos of Srimad Bhagavatam.

Venue: Mayapur When: February 4th, 2004 Verse: Srimad Bhagvatam 1.3.27-28
