bali shrī gurudeva kṛipāla kī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A devotee is paying his obeisances to his Spiritual Master: “I sacrifice my ‘everything’ on my merciful Guru. By listening to his divine teachings, the knots of ignorance are cut asunder. On being blessed with his grace, one is not affected by the evil effect of Kaliyuga (the age of darkness) even in the least. After becoming a servitor of him, one remains absolutely safe from the invincible power of God, māyā, and by merely touching his lotus-feet with devotion, one is blessed with the love of Shyāmasundara.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Through the grace of my Guru, I am able to drink the nectar of the ever-new divine līlās of Shrī Rādhā-Kṛishṇa.”

bali shrī gurudeva kṛipāla kī
jinake divya vachana suni chhūṭata, granthi avidyā-jāla kī

jinake yugala-charana parasata mana, pāvata rati nandalāla kī
lakhata ‘kripālu’ anugraha guru ke, līlā lād̤ali lāla kī
