Daily Prayers

My dear Lord Syama, please kindly hear my cry. Grant my devotional desires and
eliminate my undevotional desires. I am your instrument; please make me worthy
enough to serve You in all circumstances.

May the Lord, who is known as Maniman, protect my thighs. Protect them from
evil, from Maya, and give them protection so that the mind does not allow them
to be a source of captivating the opposite sex.

May Lord Visnu, who is known as Yajna, protect my legs. Let my legs do only
duties that are meant for Your glorification and for the glorification of Srila
Prabhupada. Dear Sweet Lord, please direct them in auspicious directions.

May Lord Acyuta protect my arms. Use them only for Your divine service and
nothing more. Dear Lord, please protect them from all unnecessary and
inauspicious activities.

May Lord Hayagriva protect my abdomen. Dear Lord let it be used for eating only
things offered at Your Lotus Feet and please protect whatever I take into it.
Allow me to eat only things that can sustain me to serve You more and serve You
better.

May Lord Kesava protect my heart. Please Lord, make my heart an eternal
dwelling place of the Sweet Love of the Divine Couple. Please make my heart an
abode of surrender, humility, dedication, and selflessness. Make my heart grow
only in love of Your Supreme Majesty and allow Your pastimes to eternally
remain blissful in my heart.

May Lord Isvara protect my head. May He only allow me to use my head in working
for His glorification. Bless this lowborn head of mine and give me knowledge of
how to serve and please You better.

May Lord Cakradhara protect my front and may Lord Gadadhara protect my back.
More at this time of chaos and problems in the movement. Please dear Lord,
kindly protect me from all material influences from any direction. Protect me
with Your love and Divine Strength.

May Lord Visnu, with His conchshell, protect my left side. May the Supreme
Godhead Upendra protect me from above and may Lord Tarksya protect me from
below the Earth. May Lord Haladhara protect me from all sides.

May Lord Madhusudana, who carries a bow in His hand, protect my eyesight. The
eyes are the major object of false gratification—a quick route to hell. Please
dear Lord, kindly guide my vision. Protect my eyes from Maya, and please
protect them from the scenes that can pollute my mind and make it go crazy.
Please put them under Your full protection and divine control.

May the Supreme Lord, in His Hrsikesa form, protect all my senses. May He
engage all my senses only in service. Protect them from all contamination and
entangling pleasures. Let them be used only to please You. Tie them against any
material nonsense and release them only when they are to serve You.

May Lord Narayana protect my breath. May He encourage me to only use my breath
for appreciating things offered at Your Divine Feet.

May Lord Yogesvara, in His divine mystic potentiality, protect my mind and
intelligence. This is the greatest of all senses. Please dear Lord, control
this rascal entity and make it a place where only Your pastimes are being
relished and appreciated. Dear Lord, close up all false entrances of my mind.
Cleanse it of all inauspicious thoughts and always check any such thoughts, as
I am a fool who does not know how auspicious and purifying it is to meditate on
Your Divine Form.

Dear Lord Krishna, please protect my soul. While sleeping, may Lord Madhava
protect me from all dangers and may the Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His
Nrshma form, protect me from all evils, all danger, all inauspiciousness, and
all illusions.

Dear Lord, I humbly beg that You daily and eternally hear these my prayers and
ultimately make me Your useful, dedicated eternal servant and a devoted son of
my beloved Spiritual Master, Om Visnupada Paramahamsa His Divine Grace Srila
Prabhupada. May His love be my source of inspiration and may I learn to
eternally be a humble servant of my beloved spiritual master.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
