Jaladuta Sailed Ashore

Vocals and instrumentals by Phalini devi dasi

(To be sung to the tune of “Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore”)

Jaladuta sailed ashore, Hare Krsna

With Srila Prabhupada aboard, Hare Krsna

Vaisnava sadhu dress he wore, Hare Krsna

Srimad-Bhagavatams he bore, Hare Krsna

Left the village he adored, Hare Krsna

He’d never crossed the sea before, Hare Krsna

Jaladuta sailed ashore, Hare Krsna

With Srila Prabhupada aboard, Hare Krsna

Courageous servant of the Lord, Hare Krsna

From his face God’s light shone forth, Hare Krsna

Came out West to serve the Lord, Hare Krsna

Came to give and nothing more, Hare Krsna

Jaladuta sailed ashore, Hare Krsna

With Srila Prabhupada aboard, Hare Krsna

He told the Truth in his purports, Hare Krsna

Explained the ancient Vedic lore, Hare Krsna

He taught us how to serve the Lord, Hare Krsna

Made devotees by the scores, Hare Krsna

Jaladuta sailed ashore, Hare Krsna

With Srila Prabhupada aboard, Hare Krsna

He brought the news of Nitai-Gaura, Hare Krsna

He opened up Vaikuntha’s doors, Hare Krsna

The rains of mercy he did pour, Hare Krsna

Changed our hearts forevermore, Hare Krsna

Jaladuta sailed ashore, Hare Krsna

With Srila Prabhupada aboard, Hare Krsna
