Srila Prabhupada
Stotram
(Composed by Ananta Dasa Sastri)
Ananta Dasa Sastri was a disciple of Srila
Prabhupada. He used to travel with
Srila Prabhupada in India and he was in the Sanskrit department
assisting Srila Prabhupada in translation work. He compiled five
slokas which describe much of Srila Prabhupada's divine character
and his divine mission also. Prabhupada
very much liked these five slokas. We used to sing
them every morning before Guru Puja by his vyasasana, so some
of you may remember them.

"O
Lord, O Prabhupada, may you always be the object of my vision.
Only the name of Krsna can destroy my pride and illusion. Although
my mind and intelligence are contaminated by wicked inclinations,
I nevertheless take shelter of Your Divine Grace by constant meditation
upon your lotus feet in causeless devotion.'
