The Precious Cargo – Prabhupada Poem by Sankirtana Das

The Precious Cargo
By Sankirtana Das
O Prabhupada
You are a treasure
Who has brought the Treasure
You are eternally wakeful
Calling the sleepers to awaken
You are the Vaikuntha traveler
Transversing the world
First in your vapu and then your vani
You are the most precious cargo of the Jaladhuta
You are the divine dancer of GaurHari
You are the smasher of impersonalism
The pounder of the false ego
You are the proclaim-er
Of the yuga dharma
You are the stirrer of souls
The speaker of countless words of wisdom
The savior of wayward lives,
The fixer of calamities
The remover of stumbling blocks
The mender of broken hearts
The vendor of the Holy Name
You are the lighthouse
In the dark waters of the Kali-yuga
You are the bringer of Govinda’s love
You do not see who is fit or unfit
You are the beggar
Bestowing the greatest gift
Upon all who will take it.
