Let us sing about the unlimited transcendental qualities of His Divine
Grace Kirtanananda Swami Bhaktipada, who is very dear to Srila
Prabhupada because of his spontaneous love and devotion, the mature
fruit of which is the New Vrindaban Project, which is boldly preaching
the glories of Lord Caitanya all over the world.
This love for Srila Prabhupada has blossomed as the gem of Srila
Prabhupada’s Palace, the effulgence of which shines brilliantly
throughout the universe. In this way Srila Bhaktipada has manifested
the opulence of Vaikuntha for attracting every conditioned soul to
Krishna consciousness. Therefore, let us always glorify the wonderful
attributes of His Divine Grace.
Let us offer prayers in worship of His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktipada.
He is delivering the message of the absolute realm to every soul in
this world by fulfilling the order of Srila Prabhupada to establish New
Vrindaban as a model Krishna conscious community in the Western World.
He possesses all the qualities of a pure devotee; he is always
self-satisfied, and always carries within his heart Sri Sri
Radha-Vrindaban Candra. Thus, he infects everyone with his ecstatic,
enthusiastic serving mood to their Lordships. Therefore, let us sing
about the wonderful attributes of Srila Bhaktipada.
Let us chant hymns in praise of His Divine Grace Srila Kirtanananda
Swami Bhaktipada, who fully knows the meaning of the scriptures and
always enlightens the devotees on the transcendental science of Krishna
consciousness. By his undefeatable logic he establishes firmly the
truth of Bhagavata-dharma.
Let us sing about the unlimited transcendental qualities of His Divine
Grace Kirtanananda Swami Bhaktipada, who appeared in this world simply
for the purpose of helping to spread the mission of the Goswamis. From
the very beginning he was the first in helping Srila Prabhupada with
every aspect of his preaching.
Let us sing the glories of His Divine Grace, who is pouring torrents of
devotion from the ocean of his heart, which is over flooded with
Krishna-prema, into the desert-like minds of the conditioned souls, who
are rotting within this material world, chewing the chewed again and
again.
Completely fixed in the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, determined to
execute them, fully controlled, an ocean of wisdom, friendly to all
living beings, always peaceful, effulgent, expert, grave, completely
detached, all these are simply a drop in the limitless list of
spiritual attributes of His Divine Grace Srila Kirtanananda Swami
Bhaktipada, who we attempt to glorify.
