Prabhupāda is my mentor,
he is my boss.
Prabhupāda is my eternal father,
he personally told me so.
Prabhupāda is my Swamiji,
from 1966–68
until he told us to
call him Prabhupāda
which we accepted joyfully.
In the 21st century he is
with us in his vāṇī
which is more powerful
and permanent than
his personal presence.
He is my beloved and he
knows me by my name,
“Satsvarūpa dāsa.” I pray
that he will remember me
and recommend me
to Kṛṣṇa—to enter the spiritual world.
I want to meet
him there and take
up his service. Or if he is in the material
world preaching, I want
to join him there
and work in his mission.
Let me remember Prabhupāda
wherever I go. Let
me never forget that I am
his humble celā,
and may I never
disobey him.
Prabhupāda, I honor all
your followers and
bow at their feet:
I will associate with
your devotees and not
withdraw or mix
with non-devotees.
“Please accept me as
an atom at your lotus feet.”
Your servant,
Satsvarūpa dāsa Goswami
