Prayers
Words and music by Devananda Pandit das
The god with four faces
And Shiva the greatest
Along with innumerable sages
Came to the dungeon
And offered their prayers
To Krishna the lord of all ages.
” You are true to your vow
And You sure do know how
To protect the gentle and pious.
You descend to this world
In Your primeval form
To instruct living beings in the highest.”
“When the pure hearted meet
To reflect on your feet
The ocean of grief turns to nothing.
And when others go
On the path that is shown
They can easily cross over that ocean.”
“You reveal Your face
By your own special grace
To eradicate all speculations
About what you say
Who You are where You stay
And how You fulfill Your intentions.”
