“In the great Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava teachers’ line,
as Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Saraswatī he’s renowned.
Like the radiant sun in the morning sky,
he appeared to rescue all souls swallowed by
the all-devouring impersonal philosophy.
By spreading the teachings of Lord Gaurāṅga
to sing the Holy Name of Lord Śrī Krishna,
he gave all the chance to dive in the ocean
of love of Śrī Krishna, the Supreme Person.
Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta, my lord, divine master —
at his feet do I pray to serve him forever.”
