Vrindanath Das
Oh! My Lord, you are the supreme Personality of Godhead. You are the Supreme
Spiritual Master. Please give me intelligence and Knowledge with which I can understand
you better and come closer to you. O Krishna, O Balaram! You are the source of all
strength. Please give me spiritual strength so that I can perform devotional services with
sincerity, determination and enthusiasm. Please give me physical strength to carry out
my worldly duties and continue to progress in devotional life. O! My Lord, you are the
time factor. Please help me managing my time to carry out my worldly duties and keep
progressing in devotional life. My Lord, please bless me so that I may become regulated
in my daily activities.
O! Radha ShyamSunder, please bestow your mercy upon me and hold me tightly so that
I dont fall down from the platform of bhakti under any influence of material opulence.
Please protect me against any desire of fame and praise. Please protect me against
becoming proud when people try to praise me for speaking about you and your glories.
Oh my Lord, if you see me fit, please make me a source to preach your glories and bring
some fallen souls closer to your lotus feet.
Oh my Lord, my mind is so restless like a monkey jumping from one place to another.
Please make it rest on your lotus feet and give it shelter of your holy names. O! Lord
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, O! Lord Nityananda, please give me the attraction for chanting
the holy name and please give me ability to chant the holy name with full attention and
concentration.
He Govinda, He Gopala, He Srinath ji, He Giridhari, please make me always remember
your childhood pastimes which can remove all anarthas from ones heart. O Lord
Narsimha, as you tore apart chest of Hirnyakashipu with you sharp nails and took out his
life air, please tear apart my heart and take out all the anarthas hidden in core of my
heart such as Lust, Anger, Greed, attachments, Ego (Envy, Pride), Illusion, Fault finding
etc.
He Maha Vishnu, He Krishna, You are Supreme Creator (proprietor, enjoyer), Maintainer
(controller) and Annihilator (protector). Please protect me against the tendency to think
myself as the controller, maintainer and enjoyer.
As long as I am in this material world and living a householder life, I need to fulfill
certain duties toward family, house, and profession. Please give me strength;
intelligence, time and financial support to carry out my worldly duties while always
remembering you and thinking you to be the actual doer.
Please give me humility, please give me tolerance and please give me patience so that I
can tolerate the turbulences caused by material nature through it various agents.
