The Universe I know today
Brought me to you to stay;
In a mysterious but a perfect way
To express my gratitude I know not what to say.

Your words of truth ring in my mind
Your loving presence compassionate and kind;
A source of joy were you to my heart
It is difficult not to cry as I depart.

Swamiji

Krishna's shining beacon
On foundation rock you stand;
Lost souls of humanity
You bring a guiding hand.

One such soul had washed ashore
Tossed by stormy sea;
Calmness and tranquility
Were your gifts to me.

Heart to heart we shared the ground
The hallowed halls you dwell;
Ananda flowed so freely
As if drinking from the well.

God's grace it brought me to you
By God's grace I shall return;
To kneel before the altar
Krishna's overflowing urn.
