Journey To America by Srila Prabhupada | Boro Kripa Koile Krishna Song | Srila Prabhupada

#HareKrsnaTV #ISKCON #SrilaPrabhupada #borokripa #drsahadevdas It was a Friday, August 13, 1965. At 9 in the morning, a lonely, elderly gentleman, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami boards a ship at Calcutta Port sailing to New York. The black cargo ship, small and weathered, was anchored at dockside. Sailors curiously saw the elderly saffron dressed sadhu as he spoke last words to his companion in the taxi and walked determinedly towards the boat. He had only a suitcase, an umbrella and a supply of dry cereals as hand baggage. There was no one on the shore to bid him goodbye, no friends, no supporters, no disciples. He was going to America to preach Krishna Bhakti which had been known only in India. What follows is a remarkable tale of faith and determination beyond anyone’s expectation. He carried with him forty rupees. He had no institutional backing, no support awaited him. He was going on the order of his Spiritual Master to teach Krishna Consciousness to the English speaking world. He was carrying the almost forgotten spiritual culture of Vedic India to plant it in the heart of America’s cultural turmoil of 1960’s. But such a voyage was not an easy one for someone aged 70. The ensuing journey presented considerable hardships. On board the ship Srila Prabhupada wrote of sea sickness, dizziness, vomiting, heavy rains in the Bay of Bengal. On the thirteenth day of the voyage during the passage through the Arabian Sea, he suffered a massive heart . All alone helpless and without medical assistance, in his uneasy sleep that night, he had a dream, a vision. Lord Krishna appeared and took charge of the ship along with his other incarnations. Krishna was smiling at Srila Prabhupada and was pulling the ship all the way to America. After crossing the Mediterranean Sea, the ship came into the Atlantic Ocean, but the ocean became like a placid lake. The captain said that never in his career had he seen such a calm Atlantic crossing. The captain’s wife asked Srila Prabhupada to come back with them so that they might have another such sailing. Srila Prabhupada wrote in his dairy, "If the Atlantic would have shown its usual face, I would have , but Lord Krishna has taken charge of the ship." After a total of thirty eight days the ship at last arrived at New York where Srila Prabhupada disembarked onto a lonely Brooklyn pier to begin his mission in the West, not knowing whether to turn left or right. Srila Prabhupada’s voyage on the Jaladuta thirty five years ago marked the beginning of a spiritual revival and the twelve years after his arrival in America saw the Hare Krishna movement spread to major cities worldwide. For thousands of years the Vedic tradition had been confined to the boundaries of India. To a world immersed in materialistic ethos, Srila Prabhupada revealed the wisdom of this timeless philosophy. The poem Markine Bhagavat-dharma: preaching Bhagavat dharma in America was written after his arrival in Boston at Commonwealth pier on September 17th 1965. Seeing the Boston skyline and the rampant materialism prevalent in the lives of the people there, Srila Prabhupada realised the difficulties in his mission. He saw the hellish city life, people dedicated to the illusion of material happiness. He felt weak, lonely and unable to help them on his own. He was penniless. He had barely survived two heart s at sea. He spoke a different language. He dressed strangely according to American standards and he had come to tell people to give up sinful habits which were inseparable part of their lives. He had come to teach Americans worship of Lord Krishna who to them was a mythical Hindu God. What would he be able to accomplish? Helplessly he spoke his heart to Lord Krishna…… LYRICS: (1) boro-kṛpā kaile kṛṣṇa adhamer prati ki lāgiyānile hethā koro ebe gati (2) āche kichu kārja taba ei anumāne nahe keno āniben ei ugra-sthāne (3) rajas tamo guṇe erā sabāi ācchanna bāsudeb-kathā ruci nahe se prasanna (4) tabe jadi taba kṛpā hoy ahaitukī sakal-i sambhava hoy tumi se kautukī (5) ki bhāve bujhāle tārā bujhe sei rasa eta kṛpā koro prabhu kori nija-baśa (6) tomāra icchāya saba hoy māyā-baśa tomāra icchāya nāśa māyār paraśa (7) taba icchā hoy jadi tādera uddhār bujhibe niścai tabe kathā se tomār (8) bhāgavater kathā se taba avatār dhīra haiyā śune jadi kāne bār bār hare krishna hare krishna, krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama, rama rama hare hare To see the translation of the above verses, please google up "boro kripa koile krishna".
