Prayer to Param Pujya Gurudev
Please let me enjoy
the nectar of your Loving Stories
O! Unfogetable Companion! Most Dearest One!
Without your Grace, nothing happens!
Tasting the nectar of your name
by my mouth
Let my sorrows of innumerable
Births vanish!
O! Adorable Lord!
the shelter of all devotees!
give me eternal shelter
as a dust particle
under your Lotus Feet!
I have realized
nothing ever happens without your Grace!
Look at me, O Lord! One time!
with your Grace, I could decide
except your Grace, nothing is mine!
This is my prayer at your Lotus Feet!
Forget me not, O Lord!
in the evening of my life!
