Śrī Guru Ārati

All glories to Śrī Bhakti Sundar Govinda Goswāmī, who is our supreme master and is like a reservoir of joy.

His graceful long hands touch his knees and his body is beautiful and transcendental. He is an ocean of infinite genius and transcendental qualities.

We consider your real identity to be non-different from Krishna and Gaurāṅga. But now, to deliver this material world, you have assumed the form of a pure devotee.

You are brightening the line of the followers of Śrīla Rūpa Goswāmī. Your effulgence, which is comparable to that of the sun, is known throughout the whole world.

There is no one like you to preach pure devotion. You are the spotless moon, and you are merciful like Lord Nityānanda.

As ecstatic people all over the world are attaining the treasure of love of Krishna, they are dancing and singing your glories.

To teach the essence of the highest knowledge and to preach it to all, you have established many ashrams all over the world.

You have mastery over the knowledge of the Vedas, both conceivable and inconceivable. You are the treasurer of bona fide conclusions, which can destroy all doubt.

Your glories are being sung in the spiritual world of Goloka, the realm of your Pastimes, by your servants who are eternally liberated.

To deliver the fallen souls, you are like a breeze of mercy. You are expert in all service, and you are established in truth and gravity.

Your beautiful and unprecedented writing reflects your deep scholarship. You are always smiling and speaking sweet words, which remind one of your soothing poetry.

You are always straightforward and humble, and you are always joyful in the association of pure devotees. In a spiritual gathering, you are always the best speaker. In every field of life, you always come out victorious.

In the sky of the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava world, you are a preceptor who is prominent like the sun. You are always fond of service, and your sweet voice inspires others to do service also.

Past, present, and future—for all eternity, we beg your mercy. Only by your mercy will one receive devotional service to Śrī Śrī Gāndharvikā-Giridhārī.

O my lord, who is the manifestation of the mercy of Śrī Gaurāṅga, please be merciful to me. This insignificant servant of yours is always praying this way while worshipping you.
