SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
hari hari! viphale janama gonainu
manusya-janama paiya, radha-krsna na bhajiya,
janiya suniya visa khainu [1]
O Lord! My life has passed in vain. I have got a human birth but have not
served Radha-Krishna. I have been consciously drinking poison (I knew it, I
heard about it from others, but I still drank it).
golokera prema-dhana, harinama-sankirtana,
rati na janmila kena taya
samsara-visanale, divanisi hiya jvale,
judaite na kainu upaya [2]
Chanting the Holy Name (Harinama-sankirtan) is a treasure of divine
love coming from Goloka, but why do I feel no taste for it? Always burning in
the poisonous fire of material life, I do not see any relief or solution.
vrajendra-nandana yei, sachi-suta haila sei,
balarama haila nitai
dina-hina yata chhila, hariname uddharila,
tara saksi jagai madhai [3]
He who is known as Vrajendra-nandan has now come as the son of Sachi, and
Balaram has become Nitai. They rescued through the Holy Name all destitute,
bereft souls. Jagai and Madhai bear witness to that.
ha ha prabhu nanda-suta, vrsabhanu-suta-yuta,
karuna karaha ei-bara
narottama-dasa kaya, na theliha ranga paya,
toma bine ke achhe amara [4]
O Master! O Son of Nanda Maharaj! O Daughter of Vrisabhanu! Please bestow
Your mercy upon me this one time. Narottam Das is saying, ‘Please do not push
me away from Your reddish feet. Without You, who else do I have?’
