Hari, Hari, Hari! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
Hari, Hari, Hari! Transcendental glory!
Infinite person, blessed purity!
Rama, Rama, Rama!
Perfect royal father!
When will every state and nation be like thy Ayodhya;
Rama, Rama, Rama! Savior of Sita,
Perfect in power, in chivalry and valor!
Krishna, Krishna, Krishna! Reservoir of pleasure!
Hearing they Vrindaban pastimes is the secret nectar;
Krishna, Krishna, Krishna! Conquered by Radha,
Darling of Vraja, infallible lover!
Hari, Hari, Hari! All the saints adore thee!
Pious souls cling to they feet and chant eternally;
Hari, Hari, Hari! Though illusion hides thee,
Thou wert and art and evermore shall be.
5) My Spiritual Master Liveth
lyrics by Devamrita Swami
music by G. F. Handel (1685-1759) from The Messiah
soprano solo by Ragamathani Devi Dasi
I know that my spiritual master liveth, and that by his grace even a wretch as I can love Krishna. I know that my Prabhupada liveth, and by disciplic link his will marches on! Jai Bhaktipada! And though Maya attacks this body, yet in my soul shall I be strong. Who dares measure what the guru giveth? And though fools doth protest his glory, yet through him shall I see God. For by his sweet pleasure upon the jiva, a lost servant can go back home.
