Tulsi Prayers

namo namah tulasi! krsna-preyasi
radha-krsna-seva pabo ei abhilasi

Obeisance to you, Tulasi loved by Lord Krishna, Obeisance to you. (refrain)
Serving Radha Krishna is, all that I desire to do.

je tomara sarana loy, tara vancha purna hoy
krpa kori’ koro tare brndavana-basi

He who seeks your shelter finds, all his wishes satisfied.
For by your boundless mercy he, will in Vrindavan soon reside

mor ei abhilas, bilas kunje dio vas
nayane heribo sada jugala-rupa-rasi

Thus my wish is that you place, me in Vraja’s pleasure groves
So I shall forever see, the Lord’s sublime pastimes of love

ei nivedana dharo, sakhir anugata koro
seva-adhikara diye koro nija dasi

I beg your mercy that I may, follow the gopis faithfully,
Make me your maidservant and bless, me with the boon of pure bhakti.

dina krsna-dase koy, ei jena mora hoy
sri-radha-govinda-preme sada jena bhasi

This poor servant of Krishna prays, that I may forever stay,
Deep within the swelling sea, of the Lord’s loving ecstasy.

vrndayai tulasi-devyai
priyayai kesavasya ca
visnu-bhakti-prade devi
satya vatyai namo namah

All respect to Vrindadevi
Tulasi loved by Lord Vishnu
O goddess who bestows bhakti,
the highest truth resides in you.

yani kani ca papani
brahma-hatyadikani ca
tani tani pranasyanti
pradaksinah pade pade

By this circumambulation
around the sacred tulasi plant,
from all of our sinful trangressions
she soon will full freedom grant.
