WORD FOR WORD TRANSLATION: Sri Guru Carana Padma Kevala


Bhakati Sadma

TRANSLATION
1) The lotus feet of our spiritual master are the only way by which we can
attain pure devotional service. I bow to his lotus feet with great awe and
reverence. By his grace one can cross the ocean of material suffering and
obtain the mercy of Krsna.

2) My only wish is to have my consciousness purified by the words


emanating from his lotus mouth. Attachment to his lotus feet is the
perfection that fulfills all desires.

3) He opens my darkened eyes and fills my heart with transcendental


knowledge. He is my Lord birth after birth. From him ecstatic prema
emanates; by him ignorance is destroyed. The Vedic scriptures sing of his
character.

4) Our spiritual master is the ocean of mercy, the friend of the poor, and
the lord and master of the devotees. O Lokanatha Goswami! O master! Be
merciful unto me. Give me the shade of your lotus feet. Your fame is
spread all over the three worlds.

5) By making the dust of the Vaisnavas' feet the ornament of my body,


ecstatic love comes. Washing the Vaisnavas' lotus feet is my method of
worship. By always associating with the Vaisnavas, I shall overcome the
darkness of ignorance.
6) O Srila Sanatana Gosvami and Srila Rupa Gosvami, who are two deep
wells of the nectar of pure love, two personifications of the splendid
nectar of the Divine Couple, and two desire trees by whose mercy the
entire world is free from suffering, all glories to you!

7) In your books, you two great souls clearly described prema-bhakti. You
are reservoirs of the sweet nectar of the Divine Couple. Hearing about
you brings bliss to the heart. Their sweet mellows are my shelter.

8) You are fabulously wealthy, possessing ecstatic love for the youthful
Divine Couple, a love more precious than gold purified in ten thousand
flames. O Rupa and Sanatana Gosvami, all glories to you! I beg you,
please give me in charity some of these jewel necklaces.

9) I shall eternally engage in the nine-fold process of devotional service,


which is the essential message of Srimad-Bhagavatam, and I shall not
worship the demigods. O brother, I say to you: Devotional service is the
most exalted kind of worship.

10) Making the words of the guru, sadhus and sastras one with my heart, I
constantly float and swim in the ocean of pure love. I am different from
the karmis and jnanis, who have no devotion for Krsna. Narottama speaks
the truth.

REMARKS/ EXTRA INFORMATION:


From original research of the Prema-Bhakti Candrika, the original words
were “cittete koribo aikya” Translation of that is, “I will make the teachings
from the lotus mouth of the spiritual master be one with my heart and I
will not have any other desires.” Some renditions will translate this as
“hṛdi kori mahā sakya.”

Verses 1 to 4 are celebrated in ISKCON temples as the “Guru Puja


prayers.”
