SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI ARATI GITI
namo namah tulasi! krsna-priyasi
radha-krsna seva paba ei abhilasi [1]
O Tulasi, beloved of Lord Krishna! I am offering obeisances to you again and
again.
ye tomara sarana laya, tara vanchha purna haya,
krpa kari’ kara tare vrndavana-basi [2]
When one takes shelter in you, all their desires become fulfilled and you
mercifully make them residents of Vrindavan.
mora ei abhilasa, vilasa kunje dio basa,
nayane heriba sada yugala-rupa-rasi [3]
I hanker for that. Please let me live in a grove where amorous pastimes take
place. Let me always behold with my own eyes the charming beauty of the
Divine Couple.
ei nivedana dhara, sakhira anugata kara,
seva-adhikara diya kara nija dasi [4]
Please consider my appeal. Make me a follower of the Divine Couple’s
girlfriends. Vesting me with the right to do service, please me make me your
maidservant.
dina krsna-dase kaya, ei yena mora haya,
sri-radha-govinda-preme sada yena bhasi [5]
Poor Krishna Das says, ‘May my wish come true. May I always float in the
divine love for Sri Sri Radha-Govinda.’
