Namo brahmanya devaya
go brahmana hitaya cha
jagad hitaya Krishnaya
Govindaya namo namah
(meaning: I offer my respectful obeisances unto the worshipable Deity of all brahmins, well-wisher of the cows and the brahmins, benefactor of the whole universe; Krishna. I offer my repeated obeisances to Govinda.)
Prasadam Prayer:
Maha-prasade Govinde
nama-brahmani vaisnave
svalpa-punya-vatam rajan
visvaso naiva jayate
(meaning: For those who have amassed very few pious activities, their faith in maha-prasad, in Sri Govinda, in the Holy Name and in the Vaishnavas is never born.)
Sarira avidya-jal, jodendriya tahe kal,
jive phele visaya-sagore
tar' madhye jihva ati, lobhamoy sudurmati
ta ´ke jeta kathina samsare
(meaning: O Lord, this material body is a place of ignorance, and the senses are a network of paths leading to death. Somehow, we have fallen into this ocean of material sense enjoyment, and of all the senses the tongue is most voracious and uncontrollable. It is very difficult to conquer the tongue in this world.)
Krishna baro doyamoy, koribare jihva jay,
sva-prasad-anna dilo bhai
sei annamrita pao, Radha-Krishna-guna gao,
preme dako Chaitanya-Nitai
(meaning: But You, dear Krishna, are very kind to us and have given us such nice prasadam, just to control the tongue. Now we take this prasadam to our full satisfaction and glorify Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Krishna, and in love call for the help of Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda.)
