Prasadam Prayer

maha-prasade govinde nama-brahmani vaisnave svalpa-punyavatam rajan visvaso naiva jayate sarira avidya-jal jodendriya tahe kal jive phele visaya-sagare tara madhye jihva ati lobhamoy sudurmati take jeta kathina samsare krsna baro doyamoy karibare jihva jay sva-prasad-anna dila bhai sei annamrta khao radha-krsna-guna gao preme dako caitanya-nitai

O King, those with little merit have no faith in maha-prasadam, Govinda, the holy name, or Vaisnavas. The body is a network of ignorance; the senses drag the soul into the ocean of material enjoyment. Of all senses, the tongue is most greedy and difficult to control. But Krishna is very merciful — He has given us His own prasadam to conquer the tongue. Eat this nectarean food, sing the glories of Radha-Krishna, and call out to Chaitanya and Nitai in love.

Narasimha Prayers

Narasimha is here, Narasimha is there — wherever I go, there is Narasimha. Narasimha is outside, Narasimha is in my heart. I take shelter of Narasimha, the Primeval Lord. O Keshava, You who assumed the form of Narahari, Your wonderful lotus-hand nails tore apart the demon Hiranyakashipu like a bee. All glories to You, O Lord of the universe! I bow down to Lord Narasimha — fierce, heroic, the great Vishnu, blazing, facing all directions, terrifying yet auspicious, the death of death itself.
