LOSING YOU

This is a loving musical tribute to my most beloved Spiritual Masters, Gurupada Padma Jagat Guru, IPBYS Founder Acarya, HDG Nityalila Pravista Om Visnupada 108 Sri Srimad Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja Gurudeva and Gurupada Padma, Jagat Guru, ISKCON Founder Acarya, HDG Nityalila Pravista Om Visnupada 108 Sri Srimad Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and our whole Guru Varga !!!

This song is based on a conversation Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu had with Sri Ramananda Raya :

In Sri Caitanya Caritamrta, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked Srila Raya Ramananda: duhkha-madhye kona duhkha haya gurutara? krsna-bhakta-viraha vina duhkha nahi dekhi para[Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked, "Of all kinds of distress, what is the most painful?"Sri Ramananda Raya replied, "Apart from separation from the devotee of Krsna, I know of no unbearable unhappiness." (Madhya 8.248)]Sri Mahaprabhu asked Sri Raya Ramananda, "What is the worst type of suffering?" Sri Ramananda Raya replied, "Vaisnava-viraha." Para means the highest or greatest. The greatest or most grievous suffering is Vaisnava-viraha, separation from pure Vaisnavas. "LOSING YOU" words and music by : Jayanta das

We'll never lose our pastimes with you

Your Lotus Feet were so soft to our touch

If we live through this, we'll never forget your smile

Your morning walks were unforgettable !

Oh, how we've cried when you left us !

No greater pain in this world than losing you , our heart !

Now, there's no one to chastise us !

Nor pat us on the head when we do right !

Your Vani and glories will live forever !

Darshan of you singing the Holy Names

You held back tears when choked with prema

It is hard to put in words about the loss we feel

The emptiness is so unbearable !

You are the light in our darkness !

No greater pain in this world than losing you, our soul !

Now, we know what you've mean to us !

Kind and merciful, you've gained our love and trust !

Your Vani and glories will live forever ! ***** HARE KRSNA MAHA MANTRA *****

We must live through this, forever in your debt !

To carry on your mission on our head !

Such intense separation !

No greater pain in this world than losing you, our life !

Such intense separation !

There's no greater pain in this world than losing you , our love!

Oh, Gurudeva !!!
