By Bhaktimarga Swami<\/p>\n
He was a fellow perceptively mellow<\/p>\n
He arrived with his brother to follow<\/p>\n
At the beck and call of Mahaprabhu<\/p>\n
In a land of mist and morning dew<\/p>\n
>From there on, it was all over<\/p>\n
Worldliness gone\/personal makeover<\/p>\n
A dedication to good deed and thought<\/p>\n
Attention to all His Divine Grace brought<\/p>\n
He learned, he grew, and did so glow<\/p>\n
Teaching others what he did know<\/p>\n
On the subject of worship and wisdom<\/p>\n
In an atmosphere of devotional rhythm<\/p>\n
Like the Ganges with her endless liquidity<\/p>\n
His service was one of constant fluidity<\/p>\n
He stood at the feet of Lion Sublime<\/p>\n
Both shone each day at the regular time<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t recall him ever in a rage<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because he was a genuine sage<\/p>\n
He was an anchor for half of a century<\/p>\n
Within which his bhakti grew exponentially<\/p>\n
A role model, our dear Pankajanghri<\/p>\n
Powerfully at peace wherever he be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
