HE SIGNED HIS NAME
\n
\n*In dedication to His Holiness, Gopal Krishna Goswami*<\/p>\n
Bhaktimarga Swami<\/p>\n
He signed his name to that temple guest book<\/p>\n
Which triggered events leading to a hook<\/p>\n
For that signature meant a follow-up call<\/p>\n
In \u201968 the invite came from the Montreal Hall<\/p>\n
He was energetic, young, and thoughtful<\/p>\n
And began to shun habits considered awful<\/p>\n
Time for a change under the Master\u2019s mercy<\/p>\n
Patterns of goodness now set, like rising early<\/p>\n
Once regulations began they just never stopped<\/p>\n
For the virtuous, good actions cannot be dropped<\/p>\n
There was gravity in his words and performance<\/p>\n
All that spelled \u2018devotion\u2019 was of utmost importance<\/p>\n
The travels, the classes, the mantra, the raising<\/p>\n
This selflessness can be described as simply amazing<\/p>\n
The temples, the murtis, the people, the books<\/p>\n
He appeared to get into all corners and nooks<\/p>\n
From India, the States, Africa, Canada, Russia too<\/p>\n
The Empire of Vaishnava culture grew and grew<\/p>\n
By the touch of his hand after pursuing dreams<\/p>\n
Enthusiasm flowed like rivers and streams<\/p>\n
With tireless work and commitment so grand<\/p>\n
Much was achieved after multiple plans<\/p>\n
It is hard to duplicate and hard to clone<\/p>\n
The efforts of one who admits nothing\u2019s done alone<\/p>\n
His target is straight and crystal clear<\/p>\n
That divine form of Krishna, so dear<\/p>\n
The saint inspires many on that special roam<\/p>\n
Taking them with him to the Ultimate Home<\/p>\n
Let us consider that another book is signed<\/p>\n
By persons who are of the spiritual kind<\/p>\n
They make an entrance but not as a guest<\/p>\n
And settle on a permanent peace and rest<\/p>\n
