To the Supreme Lord, whose form is the embodiement of eternal existence, knowldege, and bliss,whose shark-shaped earrings are swinging to and fro, who is beautifully shining in the divinerealm of Gokula, who (due to the offense of breaking the pot of yogurt that His mother waschurning into butter and then stealing the butter that was kept hanging from a swing) is quicklyrunning from the wooden grinding mortar in fear of mother Yasoda, but who has been caughtfrom behind by her who ran after Him with greater speed to that Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, Ioffer my humble obesiances.
(Seeing the shipping stick in His mothers hand,) He is crying and rubbing His eyes againand again with His two lotus hands. His eyes are lled with fear, and the necklace of pearls
around His neck, which is marked with three lines like a conchshell, is shaking because of Hisquick breathing due to crying. To this Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, whose belly is bound notwith ropes but with His mothers pure love, I offer my humble obeisances.
By such childhood pastimes as this He is drowning the inhabitants of Gokula in poolsof ecstasy, and is revealing to those devotees who are absorbed in knowldege of His suprememajesty and opulence that He is only conquered by devotees whose pure love is imbued withintimacy and is free from all conceptions of awe and reverence. With great love I again offer myobeisances to Lord Damodara hundreds and hundreds of time.
O Lord, although You are able to give all kinds of benedictions, I do not pray to You for theboon of impersonal liberation, nor the highest liberation of eternal life in Vaikuntha, nor any other
boon (which may be obtained by executing the nice processes of bhakti). O Lord, I simply wishthat form of Yours as Bala Gopala in Vrindavana may ever be manifest in my heart, for what is theuse to me of any other boon besides this?
O Lord, Your lotus face, which is encircled by locks of soft black hair tinged with red, iskissed again and again by mother Yasoda, and Your lips are reddish like tha bimba fruit. May thisbeautiful vision of Your lotus face be ever manifest in my heart. Thousand and thousands of otherbenedictions are of no use to me.
O Supreme Godhead, I offer my obeisances unto You. O Damodara! O Ananta! O Visnu!O master! O my Lord, be pleased upon me. By showering Your glance of mercy upon me, deliverthis poor ignorant fool who is immersed in an ocean of worldly sorrows, and become visible to my
eyes. O Lord Damodara, just as the sons of Kuvera Manigriva and Nalakuvara- were deliveredfrom the curse of Narada and made into great devotees by You in Your form as a baby tied withrope to a wooden grinding mortar, in the same way, please give to me Your own prema-bhakti. Ionly long for this and have no desire for any kind of liberation.
O Lord Damodara, I rst of all offer my obeisances to the brilliantly effulgent rope wihichbinds Your belly. I then offer my obeisances to Your belly, which is the abode of the entireuniverse. I humbly bow down to Your most beloved Srimati Radharani, and I offer all obeisancesto You, the Supreme Lord, who displays unlimited pastimes.

O mind, just worship the lotus feet of the son of Nanda, which make one fearless. Having
obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of worldly existence through the associationof saintly persons.
Both in the day and at night I remain sleepless, suffering the pains of the heat and cold,the wind and the rain. For a fraction of ickering happiness I have uselessly served wicked and
miserly men.
What assurance of real happiness is there in all of ones wealth, youthfulness, sons, andfamily members? This life is tottering like a drop of water on a lotus petal; therefore you shouldalways serve and worship the divine feet of Lord Hari. It is the desire and great longing of Govinda dasa to engage himself in the nine processesof bhakti, namely hearing the glories of Lord Hari and chanting those glories, constantly
remembering Him and offerring prayers to Him, serving the Lords lotus feet, serving theSupreme Lord as a servant, worshipping Him with owers and incense and so forth, serving Himas a friend, and completely offering the Lord ones very self.

SRI ISOPANISAD & MAHA MANTRA(inv. & 1:text)
Om purnam adah purnam idam
purnat purnam udacyate
purnasya purnam adaya
purnam evasisyate
Isavasyam idam sarvam
yat kinca jagatyam jagat
tena tyakten bhunjitha
ma grdhah kasya svid dhanam
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect,all emanantions from Him , such as the phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as completewholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He isthe Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains thecomplete balance.
Everything animate or inanimate that is within the universe is controlled and owned by the
Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are set aside ashis quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they belong.
The word Hara is the form of addressing the energy of the Lord, and the words Krishnaand Rama are forms of addressing the Lord Himself. Both Krishna and Rama mean the supremepleasure and Hara is the supreme pleasure energy of the Lord, changed to Hare in the vocative.The supreme pleasure energy of the Lord Helps us to reach the Lord. The Lord reveals Himselfto the devotee who chants this mantra sincerely. (His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta SwamiPrabhupada)

Gopinatha, Lord of the gopis, please hear my request. I am a wicked materialist, always addictedto worldly desires, and no good qualities do I possess.
O Gopinatha, You are my only hope, and therefore I have taken shelter at Your lotus feet. Iam now Your eternal servant.
O Gopinatha, how will You purify me? I do not know what devotion is, and mymaterialistic mind is absorbed in fruitive work. I have fallen into this dark and perilous worldlyexistence.
O Gopinatha, everything here is Your illusory energy. I have no strength or transcendentalknowledge, and this body of mine is not independent and free from the control of material nature.
O Gopinatha, this sinner, who is weeping and weeping, begs for an eternal place at Yourdivine feet. Please give him Your mercy.
O Gopinatha, You are able to do anything, and therefore You have the power to deliver allsinners. Who is there that is more of a sinner than myself?
O Gopinatha, You are an the ocean of mercy. Having come into this phenomenal world,You expand Your divine pastimes for the sake of the fallen souls.
O Gopinatha, I am so sinful that although all the demons attained Your lotus feet,Bhaktivinoda has remained in worldly existence.

O Vrnda Devi, I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. You are bathed in your ownsplendor, which defeats the effulgence of lightning and the golden campaka ower. The luster ofyour transcendedntal garments defeats the beauty of the blue bandhuka ower.
O Vrnda Devi, I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. Your face is illuminatedby the splendor of the pearl decorating the tip of your nose, and by the extraordinary gentle smileon the two bimba fruits which are your lips. You are enriched by the beauty of the amazing andcolor ful jewels and ornaments you wear.
O Vrnda Devi, I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. Srimati Radharani, thedaughter of King Vrsabhanu, has made you the ruling monarch of Lord Krsnas opulent and
auspicious abode of Vrndavana, which is the crest jewel of all the Vaikuntha planets.O Vrnda Devi, I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. Because of your order,
the groves where Lord Madhava performs His pastimes appear very splendid, decorated withblossoming owers, bumblebees, deer and other auspicious animals, owers, and birds.
O Vrinda Devi, I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. Who can describeyour good fortune? You were the messenger who brought about the perfection of the amorouspastimes of Radha and Krsna, the youthful couple who enthusiastically sport in the groves ofVrndavana.
O Vrinda Devi, I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. The living entities whoattain the service of the lotus feet of your Lord reside in Vrndavana. And the desire to understand
the Lords amazing pastimes of the rasa dance is only by your mercy.O Vrinda Devi, I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. Those who have studied
the Satvata-tantra glorify you. You are Lord Krsnas potency for performing pastimes, and youare known as Tulasi Devi in the human form.
O Vrinda Devi, I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. Those who are devoidof devotion to Lord Hari, and are thrown by their offenses into the waves of lust and otherinasupicious qualities, may take shelter of you.
O Vrinda Devi, I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. Let a person whobecomes like a bumblebee at the lotus feet of Radha-Krsna, and who reads or hears these eightverses describing the glories of Vrnda Devi, eternally reside at Goloka Vrndavana. He attains
devotional service and pure love of Godhead and all his spiritual aspirations are fullled.

Lord Gauranga calls, Wake up, sleeping souls! Wake up, sleeping souls! You have sleptlong in the lap of the witch Maya.
You came into this world saying, O my Lord, I will certainly worship You, but havingforgotten this promise, you have remained in great ignorance.
I have descended just to save you. Other than Myself, who else is your friend?I have brought the medicine for destroying the illusion of Maya. Now pray for this hari-
nama maha-mantra and take it.Thakura Bhaktivinoda fell at the lotus feet of Lord Gauranga, and after begging for the holy
name he received that maha-mantra.
