i was completely blank not nowing what to do .. then i took shelter of AI and wrote
I want to compose a prayer to Śrī Kṛṣṇa as He is worshipped in ISKCON, where I humbly seek His guidance in my day-to-day activities—either externally through His devotees and instructions, or internally through His presence as the Supersoul within my heart. The prayer should be supported with suitable verses from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , Chaitanya Charitamrta and the Bhagavad-gītā, and presented in a proper devotional format.--
here is the answer
O Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Supreme Personality of Godhead, the eternal well-wisher of all souls, the enchanting flute-player of Vṛndāvana, whose lotus feet are the ultimate shelter of Your devotees, I offer my humble obeisances unto You. In the tradition of ISKCON, we worship You as the divine child of Yaśodā, the heroic protector of Your devotees, and the supreme guide of Arjuna. You are the source of all existence, the maintainer of the universe, and the intimate friend of every heart.
As the Paramātmā, You reside in every soul, guiding us with Your divine presence. As You declare in Bhagavad-gītā 15.15:
Sanskrit:
सर्वस्य चाहं हृदि संनिविष्टो
मत्तः स्मृतिर् ज्ञानमपोहनं च।
वेदैश्च सर्वैरहमेव वेद्यो
वेदान्तकृद् वेदविदेव चाहम्॥
Translation:
"I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge, and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedānta, and I am the knower of the Vedas."
O Lord, as the Supersoul, You provide the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges. I pray You guide my daily activities—my thoughts, words, and actions—keeping me anchored in Your service, free from the illusions of māyā.
You direct the paths of all beings, as revealed in Bhagavad-gītā 18.61:
Sanskrit:
ईश्वरः सर्वभूतानां हृद्देशेऽर्जुन तिष्ठति।
भ्रामयन्सर्वभूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया॥
Translation:
"The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone’s heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy."
O Kṛṣṇa, as the divine charioteer of my soul, steer my life’s journey toward Your eternal lotus feet. Whether through the internal caitya-guru whispering wisdom within or through external guides—Your pure devotees, scriptures, and the saṅkīrtana movement—illuminate my path.
Your mercy flows through devotion, as You promise in Bhagavad-gītā 10.10:
Sanskrit:
तेषां सततयुक्तानां भजतां प्रीतिपूर्वकम्।
ददामि बुद्धियोगं तं येन मामुपयान्ति ते॥
Translation:
"To those who are constantly devoted to serving Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me."
Grant me this buddhi-yoga, O Lord, so that my daily tasks—eating, working, resting—become offerings of love, aligned with Your divine will.
The Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam confirms Your presence as the Supersoul, guiding all actions. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.2.35:
Sanskrit:
भगवान् सर्वभूतेषु लक्षितः स्वात्मना हरिः।
दृश्यैर्बुध्या सुपर्णस्य सच्चक्षुर्नेतरं स्मृतम्॥
Translation:
"The Personality of Godhead Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is in every living being along with the individual soul. And this fact is perceived and hypothesized in our acts of seeing and taking help from the intelligence."
O Hari, help me perceive You in every moment, transforming my mundane routines into acts of devotion through Your subtle guidance.
In the Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Your mercy as the guide of devotees is glorified through the teachings of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. In Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 19.151:
Sanskrit:
ब्रह्माण्ड भ्रमिते कॊन भाग्यवान् जीव।
गुरु-कृष्ण-प्रसादे पाय भक्ति-लता-बीज्॥
Translation:
"While wandering in this universe, a fortunate living entity who, by the mercy of the spiritual master and Kṛṣṇa, receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service."
O Kṛṣṇa, by the grace of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Your pure devotees, I seek the seed of bhakti to guide my daily life. May Your external guidance through the guru and Your internal presence as the Supersoul plant this seed in my heart, nurturing it through the chanting of Your holy names.
I surrender my imperfections at Your lotus feet, knowing I am lost without Your mercy. May my life be a constant offering, a ceaseless chant of Your holy names: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare / Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Guide me, O Lord, in every step, through Your internal wisdom and external mercy.
Jai Śrī Kṛṣṇa! All glories to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Śrī Guru, and Śrī Kṛṣṇa!
ASA TBrown - Too long and too general but nice in a general sense.
Thank you 125%.
Thank you.
Hope naughty Nimai gives you a good swift kick in the backside and gets you screaming down the Halls of Injustice with the BBT Ramayan in your hand.
