Auspicious Invocation

ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ

I was born in the darkest region of ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torchlight of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.

śrī-caitanya-mano ’bhīṣṭaṁ sthāpitaṁ yena bhū-tale svayam rūpaḥ kadā mahyaṁ dadāti sva-padāntikam

When will Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhupāda, who has established within this material world the mission to fulfill the desire of Lord Caitanya, give me shelter under his lotus feet?

akhila-rasāmṛta-mūrtiḥ prasṛmara-ruci-ruddha-tāraka-pāliḥ kalita-śyāmā-lalito rādhā-preyān vidhur jayati

May Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, be glorified! By virtue of His ever expanding attractive features, He has subjugated the gopīs named Tārakā and Pālī and absorbed the minds of Śyāmā and Lalitā. He is the dearmost lover of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and the reservoir of pleasure in all devotional mellows.
