TRANSLATION

PRABHUPADA PRANAM

I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very dear to Lord Krishna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.

Our respectful obeisances are unto you, Oh spiritual master, servant of Sarasvati Gosvami.

You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Caitanyadeva and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism.

PANCHA TATTVA PRANAM

I offer my respectful obeisances unto Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Lord Nityananda, Sri Advaita,

Gadadhara Pandit, Srivas Thakur, and all the devotees of Lord Caitanya.
