Read Bhagavad-gita As It Is Online

His Divine Grace
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada
Founder-Acarya of the
Hare Krishna Movement

My friends, I am a demon who loves a pure saint, the guru of the universe who has no sinful taint... Anubhavananda dasa (04-26-04)

MY FRIENDS,I AM A DEMON,
WHO LOVES A PURE SAINT,
THE GURU OF THE UNIVERSE,
WHO HAS NOT A SINFUL TAINT...

FOR THAT IS THE NATURE,
OF KRISHNA'S SERVANTS NOW,
THEY ARE OCEANS OF COMPASSION,
FOR US SO POORLY ENDOWED.

THIS IS THE AGE OF KALI,
WHERE WE'RE ADDICTED TO FOLLY,
AND WE ARE SO VERY FALLEN,
IN OUR SINS WE BECOME JOLLY...

SINS ARE SIMPLY OUR WHIMS,
TO ACT FOR OUR OWN PLEASURE,
IN IGNORANCE OF OUR SOUL'S
UNLIMITED ETERNAL TREASURE.

IN FORGETFULNESS OF HIM,
WE CAN NOT HELP BUT SIN,
BECAUSE OUR NATURE IS BLISS
BUT WE FORGOT WHERE IT IS.

BUT BEHOLD OUR CAPTAIN IS HERE,
WITH A INFALLIBLE SPIRITUAL SHIP,
TO STEER US FREE FROM DANGER,
IF WE WILL ONLY TAKE HIS TIP

AND JUST CHANT KRISHNA'S NAMES
TO FREE US FROM ALL CHAINS,
WE MUST JUST CHANT GOD'S NAMES,
TO CLEANSE OUR HEARTS STAINS

FOR COUNTLESS LIFE TIMES,
WE HAVE LIVED NOT FOR LIFE'S GOAL
AND WERE MISLED BY ONLY DEMONS
TO ONLY LOOSE OUR VERY SOUL...

AND THUS FORGOT OUR LORD,
AND THE BLISS OF SERVING HIM
THE ONLY WAY TO RISE ABOVE,
OUR CHASING AFTER SIN....

IS REMEMBERING OUR LORD GOPAL
WHO IS THE ORIGIN OF ALL,
OUR ORIGINAL SUPREME FATHER,
BY CONSTANTLY GIVING HIM A CALL

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA HARE HARE

KRISHNA IS OUR DEAR MOST FRIEND
WITH NO BEGINNING NOR END,
AND HE SENT HIS DEAR SERVANTS,
TO RETURN US TO HIM AGAIN.

LIKE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
LIKE SHRILA PRABHUPADA,
HE HAS UNLIMITED SERVANTS
OUR ONE UNLIMITED GOD.

BUT BEHOLD HIS MOST RECENT SON
HE SENT TO GUIDE US HOME TO GOD
IS HIS MOST DIVINE LOVING GRACE,
SWAMI SHRILA PRABHUPADA!!!!!!

HE IS FULLY PRESENT IN HIS BOOKS,
THE GURU NEVER EVER DIES,
AND THOSE WHO TELL US NO,
SPREAD THE MOST POISONOUS LIES.

AND SINCE 1977 THESE THIEVES,
ARE TELLING ALL ACCEPT US PLEASE PRABHUPADA CAN'T HELP YOU,
AND KILL THE ONE WHO DISAGREES

THEY MURDERED PRABHUPADA,
THINKING HIM AN INVALID COMMON MAN,
WHICH LORD SHRI KRISHNA HIMSELF
AGAIN AND AGAIN CONDEMNS

NEVER FOR A MOMENT,
CAN ONE DARE THINK,
MY SERVANT IS MUNDANE,
OR MY DEITIES TO BE DULL MATTER,
THEY ALWAYS DWELL IN HELL,
IN THE WORLDS OF THE PROFANE,
THINKING THE WORLD,
IS THEIR PLATTER

SO IN REPLY TO THIS GREATEST OFFENSE,
I MUST GIVE MY FULL DEFENSE
FOR THIS WORLD'S ETERNAL GUIDE,
OR I'M NOT WORTH ONE PENCE

OUR EYES ARE CLOSED TIGHT,
FOR WE KNOW NOT WHAT IS RIGHT
AND WE FIGHT JUST TO SURVIVE
AND NOT FOR ETERNAL LIGHT!!!!

THUS BIRTH AFTER BIRTH,
WE JUST PLAY IN THE DIRT,
AND NEVER MIND THE BEAST WE HURT
SO WE MAY HAVE DESSERT...

THUS THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND,
AND BOLDLY CALL IT HUMAN KIND,
NEVER KNOWING FOR WHAT,
WE'VE BEEN DESIGNED,
OR THAT WE ARE IN ESSENCE DIVINE

AND IT IS ONLY A BONAFIDE GURU
WHO CAN PUT THIS TO AN END,
WHOM THESE BOGUS CHEATERS
POSE TO BE AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!

SO IT IS OUR GREATEST DUTY,
WHEN WE FIND THAT DIVINE MIND
TO DEFEND HIM TO THE END,
SO WE MAY BE ENSHRINED

AS THE DEFENDER OF THE TRUE
PURE SON OF GOD AND GURU,
WHO ALONE CAN GUIDE US THROUGH,
TO OUR HOME,THAT WE ONCE KNEW

FREED FROM MATTER'S CLUTCHES,
AND ALL OUR USELESS CRUTCHES,
AND THE MERCILESS BUTCHERS,
AND CHEATERS AND PUSHERS....

YES I AM A DEMON,
YET THE TRUTH I AM SCREAMING,
WE MUST HUMBLY APPROACH,
GOD'S SONS LIKE PRABHUPADA,
OR YOU'LL NEVER KNOW LIFE'S MEANING

AND EVEN THOUGH YOUR A DEMON,
YOU WILL KNOW A DEMON
YOU WON'T REMAIN,
BY SERVING KRISHNA'S PURE SERVANTS
BY JUST CHANTING KRISHNA'S HOLY NAMES

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
