Giribaradhari das (Smara Hari’s brother): <\/p>\n
With tears in my eyes,
\nI laugh and I cry,
\nWhen I think of all you have done.
\nThis body you have lost
\nAt such a great cost,
\nBut your battle has been won.<\/p>\n
On this day I am sad,
\nBut I also feel glad,
\nBecause you have won the fight.
\nYou have spread all around,
\nThe mercy you have found,
\nAnd turned darkness into light.<\/p>\n
And so on this day,
\nI solemnly pray,
\nThat one day you will help me to see,
\nTo do always what’s right,
\nAnd never give up the fight,
\nAnd may the same mercy fall on me.<\/p>\n
With tears of joy and regret,
\nI shall never forget,
\nThat you have found your place,
\nAnd that now you have joined,
\nIn Krishna’s
\nEternal pastimes beyond,
\nBy Srila Prabhupada’s saving grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
