SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRIMAN MAHAPRABHU VANDANA
e mana! gauranga bine nahi ara
hena avatara, habe ki hayechhe,
hena prema parachara [1]
O mind! There is no other incarnation of the Lord like that of Gauranga. Will
what has happened ever happen again? Will there be anybody who will preach
about this kind of divine love?
duramati ati, patita pasandi,
prane na marila kare
harinama diye, hrdaya sodhila,
yachi giya ghare ghare [2]
He did not kill anybody, not even those who were extremely wicked or fallen
heretics. Rather, He went begging house to house, distributing the Holy Name
and purifying everyone’s hearts.
bhava-virinchira, vanchhita ye prema,
jagate phelila dhali
kangale paiye, khaila nachiye,
bajaiye karatali [3]
He lavishly threw all around the world the divine love that even Lord Siva
and Lord Brahma aspire after. Surrounded by poor, helpless souls, He simply
danced and clapped His hands.
hasiye kandiye, preme gadagadi,
pulake vyapila anga
chandale brahmane, kare kolakuli,
kabe va chhila e ranga [4]
Laughing, crying, rolling on the ground overflowing with divine love, He
would spread His legs and arms, hairs on His body standing on end. He would
embrace the lowliest of men and brahmans. When did all this joy take
place?!
dakiye hakiye, khola-karatale,
gaiye dhaiye phire
dekhiya samana, tarasa paiye,
kapata hanila dvare [5]
Calling out and shouting, He ran around singing to the sounds of drums and
karatals. Seeing this, even Yamaraj felt scared and quickly shut his
door.
e tina bhuvana, anande bharila,
uthila mangala-sora
kahe premananda, emana gaurange,
rati na janmila mora [6]
The whole three worlds became filled with joy, and there arouse an tumult of
auspiciousness. Premananda says, ‘But I have not got any attachment to this
Gauranga!’
