Srila Prabhupada particularly loved his Sri Guru-vandana ('Sri Guru Carana Padma...') and his bhajan 'Gauranga Bolite Habe...'.

Per the Mayapur Vaishnava Calendar. The morning kirtan at every ISKCON temple worldwide includes Sri Narottama Das's bhajans — particularly Sri Guru-vandana ('Sri Guru Carana Padma — Kebala Bhakati-sadma...'). Sing extra of his bhajans today.
