"....And then, in 1936-it's a long history-during this Vyāsa-pūjā day, this Vyāsa-pūjā day, whatever I studied about our relationship with my Guru Mahārāja, I expressed in this poetry, and since that day my Godbrothers used to call me "poet." And Guru Mahārāja also very much appreciated this poetry. Now somehow or other you have found it. (laughs) I thought the poetry is lost, but I do not know how it was found out by some of our disciples. I think it was found out in London museum or somewhere else by Guru dāsa. They had a stock of Harmonist, and from the Harmonist, my Guru Mahārāja's paper, this poetry was found. Otherwise I thought it was lost. So anyway, this poetry is "Adore, adore ye all the happy day, blessed than heaven, sweeter than May." So I heard that the month of May is very pleasing in the Western countries, so I compared the happiness of this day with the May Day. They call May Day?"  (More...)

Wonder thy ways To turn our face Adore Thy feet Your Divine Grace. (4) Forgotten Krsna We fallen souls, Paying most heavy The illusion’s toll. Darkness around All untrace. The only hope His Divine Grace. (5) Message of service Thou hast brought, A healthful life As Caitanya wrought. Unknown to all It’s full of brace. That’s your gift Your Divine Grace. (6) Absolute is sentient Thou hast proved Impersonal calamity Thou hast moved. This gives us a life Anew and fresh. Worship Thy feet Your Divine Grace. (7) Had you not come Who had told The message of Krsna Forceful and bold. That’s your right You have the mace Save me a fallen Your Divine Grace.
