Mantra
वाञ्छाकल्पतरुभ्यश्च कृपासिन्धुभ्य एव च । पतितानां पावनेभ्यो वैष्णवेभ्यो नमो नमः ॥
vāñchā-kalpatarubhyaś ca kṛpā-sindhubhya eva ca / patitānāṁ pāvanebhyo vaiṣṇavebhyo namo namaḥ
"I offer my obeisances to the Vaishnavas, the devotees of the Lord: like desire trees they fulfil everyone's desires; they are oceans of mercy and saviours of the fallen."
Meaning
A short mantra with which Gaudiya Vaishnavas begin any service, kirtan or class: before approaching the Lord one bows to His devotees, because Krishna's mercy comes through the Vaishnavas.
