Auspicious Invocation
Bhajan | Narottama Dasa Thakura
Verse 1
ajñāna-timirāndhasya
jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena
tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ

Verse 1
I was born in the darkest region of ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torchlight of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.
Verse 2
When will Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhupāda, who has established within this material world the mission to fulfill the desire of Lord Caitanya, give me shelter under his lotus feet?
Verse 3
May Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, be glorified! By virtue of His ever expanding attractive features, He has subjugated the gopīs named Tārakā and Pālī and absorbed the minds of Śyāmā and Lalitā. He is the dearmost lover of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and the reservoir of pleasure in all devotional mellows.
