Гурувандана
Mantra
श्री-गुरु-चरण-पद्म, केवल-भकति-सद्म, बन्दोँ मुञि सावधान मते । याहार प्रसादे भाइ, एइ भव तरिया याय, कृष्ण-प्राप्ति होय याहा हैते ॥
śrī-guru-caraṇa-padma, kevala-bhakati-sadma, bando mui sāvadhāna mate / jāhāra prasāde bhāi, e bhava toriyā jāi, kṛṣṇa-prāpti hoy jāhā ha'te
"The lotus feet of the spiritual master are the only abode of pure devotion; I bow to them with great reverence."
Meaning
A Bengali song by Narottama Dasa Thakura from Prema-bhakti-candrika about the role of the guru: by his mercy one crosses the ocean of material existence and attains Krishna; his words purify the heart, and attachment to his feet is the highest perfection. Srila Prabhupada often sang it; temples sing it at guru-puja.
