SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI SRI RADHA-KRISHNA VANDANA
janama saphala ta’ra, krsna-darasana ya’ra,
bhagye haiyachhe eka-bara
vikasiya hrn-nayana, kari’ krsna darasana,
chhade jiva chittera vikara [1]
If you have ever got the fortune to behold Lord Krishna just once, your life
is successful. When souls behold Lord Krishna with the eyes that open in
their hearts, they shed off all internal perversions.
vrndavana-keli chatura vanamali
tribhanga-bhangima-rupa, vamsi-dhari aparupa,
rasa-maya nidhi, guna-sali [2]
Adorned with a forest flower garland, Krishna craftily sports in Vrindavan.
He stands playfully bending His neck, waist and knees. He is unbelievably
beautiful when He holds His flute. An ocean of transcendental happiness, He
possesses all beautiful qualities.
varna nava jala-dhara, sire sikhi-pichchha-bara,
alaka tilaka sobha paya
paridhane pita-vasa, vadane madhura hasa,
hena rupa jagat mataya [3]
His body is the colour of a fresh rain cloud, and His head is adorned with a
fine peacock feather, curly hair and a tilak mark. He wears yellow
garments and has a sweet smile on His face. His beauty drives the whole world
mad.
indranila jini, krsna-rupa-khani,
heriya kadamba-mule
mana uchatana, na chale charana,
samsara gelama bhule [4]
At the sight of Krishna’s beauty, which defeats that of a sapphire, beneath a
kadamba tree, my mind grew restless and my feet could not move – I
forgot all about my material life and the material world.
(sakhi he) sudha-maya se rupa madhuri
dekhile nayana, haya achetana,
jhare prema-maya-bari [5]
My friend! His sweet beauty is pure nectar. When I saw it with my own two
eyes, I lost consciousness and tears of divine love flowed from my eyes.
kiba chuda sire, kiba vamsi kare,
kiba se tribhanga thama
charana kamale, amiya uchhale,
tahate nupura dama [6]
How beautiful the crown on His head is! How beautiful the flute in His hands
is! How beautiful His playful bending stance is! His holy lotus feet, adorned
with a string of ankle-bells, are overflowing with nectar.
sada asa kari’, bhrnga-rupa dhari’,
charana-kamale sthana
anayase pai, krsna-guna gai,
ara na bhajiba ana [7]
I always hanker to become a bee and get a place at His holy lotus feet.
Having easily achieved it, I now sing Krishna’s glories – I will not worship
anybody else ever again!
