Prabhupada

Prabhupada
When I remember you
My eyes fill with tears
It's been so many years
Since you first filled up my darkness
And helped me to find light
You brought me sight
And now I pray that I can keep you
And your teachings in my heart
May we never drift apart

Prabhupada
After so many years
Of searching for truth
In my frustrated youth
Suddenly you came before me
And taught me how to live
And now I give you
My thoughts and words and actions
As an offering in return
For the truths that I have learned

Sometimes I feel so far from you
So far away from God
I ask myself, "What's keeping you
From serving Prabhupada?"
Then I open up the Gita
And there my eyes can see
The words that soothed me long ago
And brought me to my knees
They comfort me
They say, "Do everything you do
With love for Me
Go on chanting My holy name
And do not worry."

Prabhupada
Although sometimes I feel
Some distance apart
Somewhere deep in my heart
There is always that sweet memory
Of those eternal words
I've often heard
And when I read their timeless message
I feel close again to God
And to you
Prabhupada

The Holy Name of Krishna

It's the holy name of Krishna
That matters after all
When you chant the names of Krishna
Your troubles will seem small

Take a taste of the eternal
You'll never be the same
All your concerns seem temporary
When you chant the holy name

Take the time to be alone with
That pure and holy sound
I am sure you will discover
It's a treasure that you've found

Take the time, give your attention
Let the sound go to your heart
Maha-mantra meditation
It's a transcendental art

Like a child crying "Mama!"
With helplessness you call
To the sound of hari-nama
Surrendering your all

When you hear the pure, sweet
Nectarean holy names of God
You'll awaken love for Krishna
Says Srila Prabhupada

It's the yoga for this age
Helps us get out of the cage
Of illusion
Let us sing together now

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare

Good Morning, Srila Prabhupada

(Sung as a round, with second singer starting after "touch")

Good morning, Srila Prabhupada
Your feet I humbly touch
Good morning, Srila Prabhupada
I love you very much

I offer with my heart today
All that I think and do and say
Please let me be your instrument
For this I humbly pray

(Repeat)
