Fortnightly magazine regularly handing out,

But people hesitant to keep, sometimes to throw out.

Good advice to come from a well-wisher,

Would change course of history for the better.

Temporary interest for magazines like Back to Godhead,

But why not focus on lengthier books instead?

Thus came initial seed for meaningful transition,

Swami to begin Bhagavatam’s translation.

Jewel of Vedas is that work from Vyasa’s hand,

Prabhupada to make possible for all to understand.

That ripened fruit from guru’s writings taste,

See God in the pages, lay ignorance to waste.
