" Shrimad Gaurachandra, in His abhimana, or role, as servant of Krishna, considered Himself lower than a blade of grass. Holding the necks of the devotees, He used to cry and beg for krishna-bhakti.: " I am very wretched and lowly.Please bestow your mercy upon Me. " When He used to speak this kakuti, earnest entreaty, even extremely stone-like hearts would melt,and streams of tears would be seen in eyes that were normally like iron. " SHRILA BHAKTIVINODA THAKURA My dear Lord Gaurachandra, soothing Golden Moon of Divine Love, eternal friend and confidant, again and again I feel all vacant in this world. Although I pursue the so- called pleasures here with great enthusiasm they are cruel shadows, imposters - fleeting and shallow. They do not comfort me.Only Your holy names give me relief.Kindly bless me with an ever-increasing taste for hearing and chanting Your transcendental names, qualities and pastimes. You are my only hope. You are an ocean of unlimited , causeless mercy. Please give just one drop of Your mercy to this fallen soul.
love and respects your servant Ananda Vardhana dasa desiring the mercy of the Vaisnavas
