Bhakta Steven: He left Calcutta in sixty-five
Not a penny to his name
Thirty-five days on a cargo ship
His health began to wane
Vomiting, dizziness and heart attacks
Are what he had to endure
Left Boston Harbor for New York City
Krishna said, “be rest assured”
After three weeks in Gotham Town
The city to him was home
He didn’t know people at that time
But said, “I am never alone”
Visiting America was a big decision
Able to express his spiritual master’s vision
Spreading Krishna consciousness was his mission
He knew people in many cities would listen
All glories to Sri Krishna and inspiration provided by George Harrison
