My only wish is to have my consciousness purified by the words emanating from his lotus mouth. Attachment to his lotus feet is the perfection that fulfils all desires.
Çré Guru-vandanä
The lotus feet of our spiritual master are the only way by which we can attain pure devotional service. I bow down to his lotus feet with great awe and reverence. By his grace one can cross the ocean of material suffering and obtain the mercy of Kåñëa.
He opens my darkened eyes and fills my heart with transcendental knowledge. He is my lord birth after birth. From him ecstatic prema emanates; by him ignorance is destroyed. The Vedic scriptures sing of his character. Our spiritual master is the ocean of mercy, the friend of the poor, and the lord and master of the devotees. O master! Be merciful unto us. Give us the shade of your lotus feet. May your fame be spread all over the three worlds. We take shelter at your lotus feet. Çréla Prabhupäda is the savior of all fallen souls. 25
♫ 9-10 Jaya Rädhä-Mädhava & Invocation
jaya rädhä-mädhava kuïja-bihäré gopé-jana-vallabha, giri-vara-dhäré yaçodä-nandana, braja-jana-raïjana, jämuna-téra-vana-cäré Kåñëa is the lover of Rädhä. He displays many amorous pastimes in the groves of Våndävana, He is the lover of the cowherd maidens of Vraja, the holder of the great hill named Govardhana, the beloved son of Mother Yaçodä, and the delighter of the inhabitants of Vraja, and He wanders in the forests along the banks of the River Yamunä.
oà namo bhagavate väsudeväya oà namo bhagavate väsudeväya oà namo bhagavate väsudeväya O my Lord, the all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You.

Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Sarasvaté Gosvämé. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Caitanyadeva and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism. O most munificent incarnation! You are Kåñëa Himself appearing as Çré Kåñëa Caitanya Mahäprabhu. You have assumed the golden color of Çrématé Rädhäräëé, and You are widely distributing pure love of Kåñëa. We offer our respectful obeisances unto You. I offer my obeisances again and again to Lord Kåñëa, who is always worshiped by qualified brähmaëas and is very dear to them. He is always concerned with the welfare of the cows, the brähmaëas, and the whole universe, and He gives pleasure to the cows, land, and the senses.
Prayers for Offering Food (incl. Guru Praëäma)
I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda, who is very dear to Lord Kåñëa, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.

Bio Kripamoya Dasa 100
Kripamoya Dasa is an initiated disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the spiritual teacher and founder of the International Society of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) who brought the ancient Vaishnava tradition from India and offered it to the rest of the world. Kripamoya Dasa himself has spent more than thirty years as a spiritual teacher, speaker, priest and kirtaniya regularly travelling around Europe and at home in England. Residing near Bhaktivedanta Manor, he has raised a family of kirtan children which include Tulsi and Jahnavi Harrison. Last year he released his third album, Chakram, a collection of sacred songs from India mixed with world music and percussion, however enthusiasts have not yet forgotten his first album.
