The factual Messiah who could save us all from doom

Below is a song and poem sung by Madhudvisa Dasa during the 1996 ' Srila Prabhupada Festival' in Los Angeles:

“Under the bowers of a jack fruit, about a 100 years ago
in a little house near Calcutta, a most unlikely place I know
But t’was there that Mahaprabhu would spread His nama far and wide
Siddhanta Saraswati did preach there and reside”

‘A most important day it was in the sorry sad world of men,
where millions had been killed in wars, been killed and born again
Been born again to suffer in the sea of pain and strife
A most important day it was, the dawn of new life’

“Under the bowers  of a jack fruit about a 100 years ago
In a little house near Calcutta, a most unlikely place I know
But it was there that history would spread our ISKCON far and wide
A boy was born that quiet morn’ with Krishna on his side”

‘It was he who brought the Krishna bhakti to the west
To the western world, which was of true religion, quite divest
Received this sacred knowledge of soul and God from him
Oh Srila Prabhupada who filled our hearts with nectar to the brim’

“Under the bowers of a jack fruit about a 100 years ago
In a little house near Calcutta, where the Ganges waves did flow
The day after Krishna’s birthday he came forth from his mother’s womb
The factual Messiah who could save us all from doom”

‘Our cup of life was empty and our future hope was dark and dim
Come Prabhupada to save us; bow to him, bow to him!’

“Under the bowers of a jack fruit, about a 100 years ago
in a little house near Calcutta, a most unlikely place I know
But t’was there that Mahaprabhu would spread His nama far and wide
Siddhanta Saraswati did preach there and reside”.
