A Prayer <\/span><\/h1>\n

at the Lotus Feet <\/span>of the Gau\u1e0d\u012bya-Vai\u1e63\u1e47avas<\/span><\/h2>\n

Listen to this recording<\/a><\/p>\n

Once \u015ar\u012bmad Bhaktisddhanta Sarasvat\u012b Gosv\u0101m\u012b Prabhup\u0101da Mah\u0101r\u0101ja in his Vy\u0101sa-p\u016bj\u0101 lecture has said, \u201cLet this Vy\u0101sa-p\u016bj\u0101 be celebrated as the <\/span>p\u016bj\u0101<\/i> of the <\/span>
\n gau\u1e0d\u012bya-vai\u1e63\u1e47ava-\u0101c\u0101ryas<\/i>. It is not the <\/span>p\u016bj\u0101<\/i> of only Vy\u0101sadeva, or the <\/span>p\u016bj\u0101<\/i> of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, or the <\/span>
\n p\u016bj\u0101<\/i> of Gaurasundara \u015ar\u012b Caitanya Mah\u0101prabhu, or not only the <\/span>p\u016bj\u0101<\/i> of Gurudeva. Real Vyasa-p\u016bj\u0101 is the <\/span>p\u016bj\u0101<\/i>
\n of pure <\/span>gau\u1e0d\u012bya-vai\u1e63\u1e47ava-\u0101c\u0101ryas<\/i>. This is known as <\/span>bhaktivinoda-dh\u0101r\u0101<\/i>.  In this <\/span>
\n dh\u0101r\u0101<\/i> we find one <\/span>mantra<\/i>. That <\/span>mantra<\/i> is: <\/span>
\n \u015br\u012b d\u0101modara svar\u016bpa, \u015br\u012b r\u016bpa, \u015br\u012b san\u0101tana, \u015br\u012b ragun\u0101tha, \u015br\u012b j\u012bva, bha\u1e6d\u1e6da yuga, \u015br\u012b k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47ad\u0101sa kavir\u0101j\u0101di, \u015br\u012bmad bhaktivinoda, \u015br\u012bmad gauraki\u015bora d\u0101sa, \u015br\u012bmad bhaktisiddh\u0101nta sarasvat\u012b prabhup\u0101da, \u015br\u012bmad bhaktived\u0101nta sv\u0101m\u012b prabhup\u0101da
\n mah\u0101r\u0101ja<\/i> pad\u0101\u1e45ka sarvebhyo gurave namo nama\u1e25<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking this opportunity to offer my obeisances to all gau\u1e0d\u012bya-vai\u1e63\u1e47avas<\/i>, I will sing a song written by \u015ar\u012b Devak\u012bnandana D\u0101sa:<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst I offer my obeisances at the lotus feet of the dear devotees of \u015ar\u012b Caitanya Mah\u0101prabhu residing in V\u1e5bnd\u0101vana. Falling flat on the ground at their lotus feet, I offer my obeisances to the associates of Mah\u0101prabhu residing in \u015ar\u012b Nilacala, Jagann\u0101tha
\n Pur\u012b Dh\u0101ma. I offer my obeisances at the lotus feet of one and all of the dear devotees of Mah\u0101prabhu residing in Navadv\u012bpa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI offer my obeisances unto the lotus feet of all of the dear devotees of Mah\u0101prabhu residing in Gau\u1e0dade\u015ba. Gaur\u0101\u1e45ga Mah\u0101prabhu\u2019s dear devotees may be residing in any corner of the world. Wherever they reside I offer my obeisances unto their lotus feet.
\n I offer my obeisances unto the lotus feet of all of those persons who will become Mah\u0101prabhu\u2019s dear devotees in the future. Catching straw in my teeth I offer obeisances at their lotus feet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn all of the Vedas and Puranas it is said that the dear devotees of \u015ar\u012bman Mah\u0101prabhu are deliverers of the patitas<\/i>, the most degraded. Because I am so degraded, so fallen, the lowest of the low, I have developed greed to take shelter at the
\n lotus feet of the dear devotees of \u015ar\u012b Caitanya Mah\u0101prabhu. I beg for their mercy. Otherwise I cannot be delivered.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I think, \u2018Yes, I can glorify the Vai\u1e63\u1e47avas,\u2019 it is only out of ignorance. I have this pride in me, I am dumb, and I have no speaking power to glorify the Vai\u1e63\u1e47avas. Still I am taking great pleasure in my mind. Please excuse my offences at your lotus
\n feet, O Vai\u1e63\u1e47avas! Please accept me as one of your servants!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly by the mercy of the Vai\u1e63\u1e47avas can one become free from the clutches of Yamar\u0101ja and obtain prema-bhakti<\/i>, which is very rare in this material world. There is no other way. The desires that you have in your mind will be fulfilled very soon
\n when you get the mercy of guru<\/i> or of such Vai\u1e63\u1e47avas. Therefore \u015ar\u012b Devak\u012bnandana D\u0101sa wrote this song glorifying the Vai\u1e63\u1e47avas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because I am so degraded, so fallen, the lowest of the low, I have developed greed to take shelter at the lotus feet of the dear devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
