SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SPECIAL POETRY
Homage to Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur
(By Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj)
guru-dam grantha-dam gaura-dhama-dam nama-dam muda
bhakti-dam bhuri-dam vande bhaktivinodakam sada
He is the giver of Sri Guru; he is the giver of scriptures; he is the giver
of Gaura’s holy abode; he is the giver of the Name; he is the giver of pure
devotion. He is the greatest donor. I forever offer my obeisance to this
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur.
gaurangaika-gatim gadadhara-matim svananda-kunja-sthitim
govindaika-patim vrajasrita-ratim radhanghri-seva-krtim
sachchhastraika-natim ku-sanga-viratim duhstha-vyatha-niskrtim
vande bhaktivinodam-agama-tithinchasya prajasam-krtim
I offer my obeisance unto Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, whose exclusive shelter
is Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu; whose only object of meditation is Sri Gadadhar
Pandit; who resides in Svananda Sukhada Kunja (in Godrumdwip, Sri Nabadwip
Dham); whose only master is Lord Govinda; who is attracted to the souls who
have taken shelter in Vraja; who serves the holy lotus feet of Srimati
Radharani; who worships pure conclusions of the scriptures and avoids any bad
association; and who is free from any suffering or pain – I worship the very
day when Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, the universal king, appeared in this
world.
guru-rupa-harim gauram radha-ruchi-ruchavrtam
gadadharanvitam vande vani-vinoda-vanditam
I offer my obeisances to Lord Gaura, who is the Supreme Lord coming in the
form of the guru and as a relisher of Sri Radha’s divine mood, to Sri
Gadadhar Pandit and to the worshippable Lords Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati
Thakur and Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur.
