Śrī Guru Ārati Stuti

You revealed your Pastimes in this world as the saviour of the fallen and delivered the sinful and unfortunate souls.

Beholding your intensely merciful form, the fortunate souls faint with divine love.

Your lofty, delightful form is an abode of divine emotion and filled with divine lustre. Your eyes are illumined with divine knowledge.

Your form is adorned with tilak, tulasī beads, sandalwood paste, saffron cloth, and golden radiance like that of the sun.

The extraordinary beauty of your divine form shines with the exalted joy of benevolence, the brightness of divine sweetness.

You are endowed with inconceivable genius, affection, gravity, and magnanimity. You are a thunderbolt atop the mountain of mundane knowledge, and the conduit for divine revelation.

You are the abode of the joy of Śrī Gaurāṅga’s saṅkīrtan dance, and you are always filled with divine love as you call “Dayāl Nitāi”.

The play of your divine Pastimes at Hidden Govardhan Hill in Śrī Gaurāṅga’s abode are manifest eternally.

You are revered by the assembly of Gauḍīya Āchāryas. Your neck is adorned with the jewel of Gauḍīya-siddhānta.

You are the mine of the siddhānta revealed by Śrī Gaurāṅga and Śrīla Saraswatī Ṭhākur. You discovered the divine meaning of the gāyatrī mantra.

Your ever-new joy as you describe the Absolute, your adjustments, your harmonies—such greatness …

Unanimously all of your godbrothers see within you the revelation of Śrī Rūpa and Śrīla Saraswatī Ṭhākur.

Seeing you chant the Holy Name with tulasī beads in hand, everyone remembers Prabhupād Śrīla Saraswatī Ṭhākur.

The shelter of your feet, which are cooling like millions of moons, is our hope to attain the nectar of Śrī Śrī RādhāGovinda’s Pastimes

O manifestation of the principle of inconceivable difference and nondifference (union in separation)! This humble servant chants your glories and worships you with joy.
