SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
atma-nivedana, tuya pade kari’,
hainu parama sukhi
duhkha dure gela, chinta na rahila,
chaudike ananda dekhi [1]
Submitting myself at Your feet, I have become extremely happy. All my
unhappiness is gone far away, and I no longer worry about anything – I see
happiness in all directions.
asoka-abhaya, amrta-adhara,
tomara charana-dvaya
tahate ekhana, visrama labhiya,
chhadinu bhavera bhaya [2]
There is no grief, no fear at Your lotus feet – there is only nectar in them.
Coming to them, I have got respite, casting off all fear of material
existence.
tomara samsare, kariba sevana,
nahiba phalera bhagi
tava sukha yahe, kariba yatana,
ha’ye pade anuragi [3]
I will serve Your family never taking any share of the result for myself. I
will try my best to do whatever makes You happy, becoming deeply attached to
Your feet.
tomara sevaya, duhkha haya yata,
seo ta’ parama sukha
seva-sukha-duhkha, parama sampada,
nasaye avidya-duhkha [4]
Even any unhappiness that may come in Your service is my greatest happiness.
Both the distress and the happiness that come in the course of service are my
greatest wealth – it destroys the misery of ignorance.
purva itihasa, bhulinu sakala,
seva-sukha pe’ye mane
ami ta’ tomara, tumi ta’ amara,
ki kaja apara dhane [5]
I have forgotten all my past history and feel happy just serving You. I am
Yours, and You are mine. What use is any other wealth?
bhakativinoda, anande dubiya,
tomara sevara tare
saba chesta kare, tava ichchha-mata,
thakiya tomara ghare [6]
Serving You, Bhaktivinod dives into an ocean of happiness. I live in Your
house focusing all my efforts on fulfilling Your desires.
