SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI NITYANANDA VANDANA
parama karuna, pahu dui jana,
nitai gaura-chandra
saba avatara- sara siromani,
kevala ananda kanda [1]
Nitai and Gaurachandra are two most merciful Lords. They are the best
crest-jewels of all incarnations and the root of pure happiness.
bhaja bhaja bhai, chaitanya-nitai,
sudrdha visvasa kari’
visaya chhadiya, se rase majiya,
mukhe bala hari hari [2]
Brother, serve, serve Chaitanya and Nitai with the strongest faith! Leave
aside all material things and, immersing yourself into this nectar, chant out
loud, ‘Hari! Hari!’
dekha ore bhai, tribhuvane nai,
emana dayala data
pasu-pakhi jhure, pasana vidare,
suni’ yara guna-gatha [3]
Look, brother, in all the three worlds there is no other benefactor as
merciful as They are. Even birds and animals begin to shed tears and stones
melt just by hearing about Their glories.
samsare majiya, rahili padiya,
se pade nahila asa
apana karama, bhunjaya samana,
kahaye lochana dasa [4]
Lochan Das says, ‘Drowning in material life, I have been living as a fallen
wretch never aspiring to come to Their feet. Now I am being punished for my
own actions.’
