SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI GURU VANDANA

gurudeve vraja-vane, vraja-bhumi-vasi-jane,
suddha-bhakte ara vipra-gane
ista-mantre, hariname, yugala-bhajana-kame,
kara rati apurva yatane [1]

Make an extraordinary effort to become lovingly attached to gurudev, Vrindavan, the residents of Vraja, pure devotees, brahmans, the worshippable mantra, the Holy Name and the intense hankering to serve the Divine Couple.

dhari mana! charane tomara
janiyachhi ebe sara, krsna-bhakti bina ara,
nahi ghuche jivera samsara [2]

O mind! I am clasping your feet and telling you the main realisation: except for devotion to Krishna, there is nothing else that can stop material existence of a jiva soul.

karma, jnana, tapah, yoga, sakalai ta karma-bhoga,
karma chhadaite keha nare
sakala chhadiya bhai, sraddha-devira guna gai,
yanra krpa bhakti dite pare [3]

Material gain, knowledge, austerities, yoga – everything is mere material enjoyment. Nobody can give up material activity. Brother, leave everything and extol the qualities of Sraddha Devi (Goddess of Faith), whose mercy can give you devotion.

chhadi’ dambha anuksana, smara asta-tattva mana,
kara tahe niskapata rati
sei rati prarthanaya, sri-dasa-gosvami-paya,
e bhaktivinoda kare nati [4]

O mind! Give up pride at every step of the way and remember the asta sakhis – become sincerely attached to them. Bhaktivinod is humbly praying at the feet of Sri Das Goswami for such loving attachment.
