His Divine Grace
Srila Bhakti Vicar Yajavar Maharaj
Saraswati Goswami
yanra stava stuti suni guru hana tusta
Srila Bhakti Raksaka Sridhar,
So close to Sri Guru and Gaura,
By hearing your praise divine,
Highly pleased is Sri Guru, mine.
samskrta-bhasaya bahu kirtana racila
yaha gahi amadera bhakati badila
Many ancient Sanskrit compositions
You composed as sweet glorifications,
And as your happy tunes are sung
Our devotion blossoms, all along.
brahmana kulete tumi janama labhila
pracya-pascatya siksaya sikita haila
In a brahmana's family so pure,
You came into this world, matured,
Along with Eastern culture's trace
In Western ways and thought an ace.
brahmana dharmera para vaisnava dharma
iha bhuji bujahaila era sukha marma
From the relative strings of the brahmana thread
You come with Vaishnava practices overhead,
You understood their differences so fine,
And brought to life this happy message Divine.
bhakati raksaka tare guru nama dila
apani acari dharma pracara karila
Thus you assured pure devotion's protection;
"Bhakti Raksaka" your Guru named you in elation,
Your pure example is always there
While preaching real truth everywhere.
aprakata kale guru tomara mukhete
kirtana suniya gela goloka dhamete
When our Divine Master's time drew near
His desire was from your mouth to hear
Your voice singing this highest bhajan:
Hearing Sri Rupa's kirtan He entered Goloka Dham.
varttama mula mathe apani acarya
prabhupada-sthapilena matha-raja-varya
Srila Prabhupada, our Gurudeva,
Established many temples during his stay,
And nowadays in your humble Math
You carry Guru's weight, perfectly taught.
tomara vicara suni haye camatkara
pascatya o bahu sisya haile tomara
Hearing your happy language sweet,
So wonderful it set my heart afleet,
Now from Western lands they come,
So many disciples, accepting your home.
ei rupa bahuta guna achaya tomate
bhaktagana varnibena janiya nisicte
In this way your spiritual qualities abound
In your person, no limit to be found;
Devotees in the future will certainly describe,
Once they factually know these points sublime.
tomara jivanamrta isat sparsiya
kirtana karinu sesa bhakti vicariya
Only I have lightly touched,
Your ambrosial life, in which you're couched;
I, Bhakti Vicara, considering devotion's ways,
End my personal song in your praise.
tomara stavanakari bahuta achaya
dina yajabara tava nama guna gaya
There's so many, yes it's unknown,
How many sing your glories in varioius tunes.
