Om

[I]Haridas Thakur, "Who is Krishna?"

Yashoda, "A transcendental colored boy."[/I]

Dear Lord,
you are the example of Love,
you have set the standard for the entire universe,
by your duties, we are enlightened
by your purity, we are humbled
by your devotion, we are awakened
and shown how to live.

You never raise a hand to any animal,
you teach us not to kill for the sake of our
tongue's gratification.
(By this one injunction alone,
one is delivered from the greatest pitfalls!)
You are the protector and True Lover of all living entities.

You are the source of all beauty,
strength, truth, pleasure,
austerity, knowledge.
All the heavens sing of your praise,
The earth reflects your majesty,
where the air itself is full of your presence.

If you would grant me the intelligence to serve you,
I would speak of your glory and wholeness.
You are Devouring Time,
And you grant us every second of our lives by your mercy.
I have no desire except to fulfill your will,
to raise awareness about your good deeds.

You are Supreme, you are Absolute.
There is no difference between your name, your words, your form.
You do not have any material body,
but you are sac-cid-ananda-vigraha,
you are complete eternity, bliss, and knowledge.

You are the Supersoul.
All is following your will,
yet we could go either into forgetfulness,
into inconscience,
or into awareness,
stepping onto a very long path to devotion.

You are the Absolute, and you are unlimited,
you have many names and they are all transcendental.
Dear Lord, there is no greater position than an atom placed at your Lotus feet.
I do not desire power,
but simply to learn about your glories and pasttimes.
I do not desire any knowledge except the knowledge about your position.

Dear Krishna, you are the root of all existence,
you are the complete embodiment of strength,
beauty,
renunciation,
wealth,
pleasure,
and knowledge.
Your qualities are endless, and your virtues and merits unending.
Your absolute, spiritual form is eternal,
and is not bound by space or time.
Your Lotus feet are the most glorified location of any in the universe,
and are sought after by all the sages.
How glorified are any who have had contact with you,
who are the embodiment of beauty, and the maintainer of reality!
Your name is absolute, and exists beyond this material creation, beyond time and the elements.
One is suspended by the thought of You,
whose pasttimes, form, name, and all features are attracting all the minds of the universe.

Not even a blade of grass moves without your will,
yet you allow us to forget you which is our desire.
A tree has no knowledge of you,
and is separated by a gulf of reactive karma.
Would that we were all aware of you,
who are the breath behind breath,
the root of existence,
and the lover which breathes life into our body.

All glories to you, Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu,
who are the bestower of all benedictions,
and the spiritual master of the whole universe,
the self-satisfied philosopher who has been fulfilling the desires of living entities since the beginning of time.
