Author: Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Book Name: Saranagati
Language: Bengali
 
LYRICS:

(1)
kabe ha'be bolo se-dina āmār
(āmār) aparādha ghuci', śuddha nāme ruci,
kṛpā-bale ha'be hṛdoye sañcār

ho'ye āswādibo nāma-rasa-sār

janme-janme dāo, ohe gaurahari!

(4)

pulakita deho gadgada bacana
baibarṇya-bepathu ha'be sańghaṭana,
nirantara netre ba'be aśru-dhār
 
(5)

TRANSLATION
1) When, O when, will that day be mine? When will you give me your blessings, erase all my offences and give my heart a taste [ruci] for chanting the Holy Name in purity?
 

2) When will I taste the essence of the Holy Name, feeling myself to be lower than the grass, my heart filled with tolerance? When will I give respect to all others and be free from desire for respect from them?

 
3) When will I cry out that I have no longer any desire for wealth and followers, poetry and beautiful women, all of which are meant just for bodily pleasure? O Gaura Hari! Give me causeless devotional service [bhakti] to your lotus feet, birth after birth.
 

4) When will my body be covered with goose bumps and my voice broken with emotion as I pronounce Krishna's name? When will my body change colour and my eyes flow with endless tears as I chant?
 

5) When will I give up all thought of the world and society to run like a madman along the banks of the Ganges in Navadvipa, singing and dancing and sincerely calling out the names of Gaura and Nityananda?
 

6) When will Nityananda Prabhu be merciful to me and deliver me from the enchantment [maya] of the sense objects? When will he give me the shade of his lotus feet and the right to enter the market place [nama-hatta] of the Holy Name?
 

7) When will I buy, borrow or steal the ecstasies of the Holy Name? When will I lose myself in the intoxication of the Holy Name? When will I immerse myself in the nectar of the Holy Name after grasping the feet of a saint who constantly relishes the flavours [rasa] of devotion?
 

8) When will I feel compassion for all living beings [jivas]? When will I forget my own pleasure in genuine humility? And when will I, Bhaktivinode, meekly go from door to door, preaching your message of love?

Awesome Chanting With Description : HH Maha-Vishnu Swami (@CONGO)

CC Madhya 23.29

na premā śravaṇādi-bhaktir api vā yogo ’tha vā vaiṣṇavo
jñānaṁ vā śubha-karma vā kiyad aho saj-jātir apy asti vā
hīnārthādhika-sādhake tvayi tathāpy acchedya-mūlā satī
he gopī-jana-vallabha vyathayate hā hā mad-āśaiva mām

Word for word: 
na — not; premā — love of Godhead; śravaṇa-ādi — consisting of chanting, hearing and so on; bhaktiḥ — devotional service; api — also; vā — or; yogaḥ — the power of mystic yoga; atha vā — or; vaiṣṇavaḥ — befitting a devotee; jñānam — knowledge; vā — or; śubha-karma — pious activities; vā — or; kiyat — a little; aho — O my Lord; sat-jātiḥ — birth in a good family; api — even; asti — there is; vā — or; hīna-artha-adhika-sādhake — who bestows greater benedictions upon one who is fallen and possesses no good qualities; tvayi — unto You; tathā-api — still; acchedya-mūlā — whose root is uncuttable; satī — being; he — O; gopī-jana-vallabha — most dear friend of the gopīs; vyathayate — gives pain; hā hā — alas; mat — my; āśā — hope; eva — certainly; mām — to me.

Translation: 
“ ‘O my Lord, I do not have any love for You, nor am I qualified for discharging devotional service by chanting and hearing. Nor do I possess the mystic power of a Vaiṣṇava, knowledge or pious activities. Nor do I belong to a very high-caste family. On the whole, I do not possess anything. Still, O beloved of the gopīs, because You bestow Your mercy on the most fallen, I have an unbreakable hope that is constantly in my heart. That hope is always giving me pain.’

Purport: 
This verse is found in the Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.3.35).

'Hope' is the Hope for the Hopeless

Recitation of the prayers offered by Sripad Sukadev Goswami for Lord Nrsimhadev as they appear in Granth-raj Srimad Bhaagwatam (SB 5.18 - Verses 7 to 14).

The recitation of the mantras is by an elderly mataji Mrs. Kulkarni who has recited/recorded all the verses of the SB! I have extracted the relevant verses and have mixed simple piano to make it more friendly to that part of the human brain which can fail to remain attentive to monotonic sounds.

SB 5.18 - (Verses 7 to 14) - Prayers of Sukadev Goswami to Lord Nrsimhadev

[PODCAST] Shiva-raatri special edition!

 *Podcast Special Features:*

# *2 Rare verses from Sri Shivashtakam*. These are very beautiful, simple to memorize but very powerful prayers to offer to Lord Shiva on Shiva-raatri to please Him and get His special blessings!

# *Introduction to 5 Primary Truths* (Pramukh Tattva). Is Lord Shiva God, a demi-god, someone just like us or someone we just don't know?

# *Overview of the 3 aspects of Shiva-tattva* (Who is Lord Sada-shiva? Are Shambu, Mahadev & Shankara the same? Who is Rudra? Are they all the same person with different names? How are they actually different from each other? Which form of Lord Shiva is most powerful?)

# *What role does Lord Shiva play* in the material world?

# Are *demi-gods(devatas)* as good as Lord Shankar?

# Why does Lord Shiva *not wear clothes*?

# What's with the *skulls and ashes* He wear on His body?

# And what's with those *snakes on His body*?

# Why is it said that Lord Shiva is *always intoxicated*, does He really *smoke weed?*

# Why is Lord Shiva always portrayed as if sitting in meditation? *If He's God who is HE meditating on!!?*

# What is the *guaranteed way to please Lord Shiva* and receive His *endless blessings?*

=====================

Sorry for the apparently shameless self-promotion of my podcast. It is a good piece that gives proper understanding of Lord Shiva so you can have the most auspicious Shiva-raatri. Based on teaching of scholarly Vaishnav sadhus. 

Jai Shiva Shambhu!

Oh Govinda 
------------

Oh Lord the sun's effulgence hides Your face,

Your blissful form lies far beyond my eyes,

But now Your wonders call my heart's embrace,

As dawn displays your beauty in the sky.


The rainbow shows the colors of Your dress,

The movements of the moon reflect Your mind,

Your smiling is the cause of happiness,

And love exists because You are so kind.


Oh Govinda within my heart, Celestial herdsman lotus eyed one,

Your precious gift of love impart, Oh you who stand behind the sun,

You're the one, You're the one in my heart.


Rolling rivers flow forth from your veins,

The clouds that fill the sky come from Your hair,

The seeds of life are watered by Your rains,

And from Your breathing blows the might air,

My Lord you are the source of all I see,

Your movements are the passing days of time,

You are the resting place of all that be,

And love exists because you are so kind.


Oh Govinda within my heart, Celestial herdsman lotus eyed one,

Your precious gift of love impart, Oh you who stand behind the sun,

You're the one, You're the one in my heart.

TRANSLATION
1) The night has come to an end and the light of dawn is entering. O jiva soul, arise and give up your sleep. Chant the holy names of Lord Hari, who is the giver of liberation; the enemy of the Mura demon; the supreme enjoyer; the all-attractive one; and the horse-headed incarnation, Hayagriva.
 
2) Lord Hari [Krsna] incarnated as the half-man, half-lion, Nrsimha. He appeared as a dwarf-brahmana named Upendra and is the killer of the Madhu demon. He is the beloved son of the King of Vraja, Nanda Maharaja, and is blackish in complexion. He is the slayer of the Putana witch and the destroyer of the demon
Kaitabha. All glories to Lord Hari, who appeared as Lord Rama, the son of King Dasaratha.
 
3) He is the darling of mother Yasoda; the giver of pleasure to the cows, land, and spiritual senses; and the protector of the cows. He is the Lord of the Vrndavana forest; the gopis' beloved; the lover of Radhika; and the most beautiful personality in all the worlds.
 
4) As Ramacandra He brought about the end of the demoniac King Ravana; as Krsna He stole the older gopis' butter; He stole the younger gopis' clothes while they were bathing in the Yamuna. He is a cowherd boy of Vraja and the protector of the cowherd boys. He steals the hearts of all and always holds a flute.
 
5) Lord Krsna is worshiped by the best of yogis and is the son of Nanda. He removes all the fears of the inhabitants of Vraja. He is the color of a fresh rain cloud, and His form is enchanting. When He wanders about, playing His flute, He looks very charming.
 
6) He is the son of Yasoda and the killer of King Kamsa, and He sports in the rasa dance among the groves of Vraja. Krsna engages in this rasa dance underneath the kadamba trees, and He resides in the forest of Vrndavana.
 
7) He increases the ecstasy of His devotees. He is the reservoir of all love and is the transcendental Cupid who uses His flowered arrows to increase the loving desires of the gopis. He is the pleasure of the gopis' hearts and the abode of all wonderful qualities.
 
8) Lord Krsna is the life of the River Yamuna. He is always absorbed in amorous pastimes, and He is the moon of the gopis' minds, which are like the cakora birds that subsist only upon moonlight. O mind, obey these words of mine and sing the glories of Sri Krsna in the form of these holy names, which are full of nectarean mellows.

TRANSLATION
1) More sweet than all other sweet things; more auspicious than all other auspicious things; the greatest purifier of all purifying things—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
2) The entire universe, from exalted Brahma down to the lowly clump of grass, is a product of the illusory energy of the supreme Lord. The only thing that is reality, reality, again I say reality—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
3) That person is a true preceptor, or a true father, a true mother, and a true friend also only if they teach one to always remember—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
4) There is no certainty when the last breath will come and put an abrupt halt to all one’s material plans; therefore it is wise to always practice chanting from very childhood—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
5) Lord Hari eternally dwells in that place where truly exalted, spiritually advanced souls sing in the mood of pure devotion—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
6) Aho! What a sorrow, what a great sorrow! More painful than any other misery in the world! Mistaking it as a mere piece of glass, the people have forgotten this jewel—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
7) It should be heard again and again with one’s ears; It should be uttered over and over with one’s voice; It should be perpetually sung and sung anew—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
8) It makes the entire universe seem insignificant as a blade of grass; it splendorously reigns supreme over all; it is full of eternally conscious divine ecstasy; it is supremely pure—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.

Kevalastakam- by Bada_Hari_Das

Fresh Translation of a Song by Śrīla Rūpa Goswāmī, composed for the occasion of Vasanta-Pañcamī
(from Stava-Mālā)

Translation Credits: Hari Parshad Das (https://www.facebook.com/hariparshad)

Lyrics:
 
abhinava-kuṭmala-guccha-samujjvala-kuñcita-kuntala-bhāra

Translation:
 
An assortment of tender spring flower-buds decorate His abundant curly locks of hair. On His body is peerless camphor paste, applied so affectionately by friends and relatives who welcome Him sweetly. (1)
 
All glories, All glories to the beautiful son of Nanda! Imbued with an assortment of ecstatic fragrances, He roams freely in spring season on the river-banks of Vrindavana. ||dhruva-refrain||
 
On His face rests a mild smile, which entices His family. The restless corners of His eyes create an upsurge of ecstatic rasas, which cause Sri Rādhā to be agitated by Cupid. (2)
 
Universally enchanting are His charming dances and gait, His necklace of assorted pearls sways to and fro by such movements. To His near and dear ones, He is the ever well-wisher and the personified Lord who roams freely through the scope of their hearts! (3)
 
Note: Last line of the song is a play on words. It can also be translated as – “He is the personified Lord (avatāra) who roams freely (viharat) within the heart of my near and dear (nija-vallabha) ever well-wisher Śrī Sanātana Goswāmī (suhṛt-sanātana)).

TRANSLATION
1) The lotus feet of Lord Nityananda are a shelter where one will get the soothing moonlight not only of one, but of millions of moons. If the world wants to have real peace, it should take shelter of Lord Nityananda. Unless one takes shelter under the shade of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, it will be very difficult for him to approach Radha-Krsna. If one actually wants to enter into the dancing party of Radha-Krsna, he must firmly catch hold of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.
 
2) Anyone who has not established his relationship with Nityananda Prabhu is understood to have spoiled his valuable human birth. Such a human being is actually an uncontrollable animal. Because he never uttered the holy name of Nityananda, he has become merged into so-called material happiness. What can his useless education and family tradition do to help him?
 
3) Being maddened after false prestige and identification with the body, one is thinking, oh, what is Nityananda? What can He do for me? I don't care. The result is that he is accepting something false to be truth. If you actually want to approach the association of Radha-Krsna, you must first achieve the mercy of Lord Nityananda. When He is merciful toward you, then you will be able to approach Radha-Krsna. Therefore you should firmly grasp the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.
 
4) The lotus feet of Nityananda are not illusion; they are a fact. One who engages in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda is also transcendental. Always try to catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. This Narottama dasa is very unhappy, therefore I am praying to Lord Nityananda to make me happy. My dear Lord, please keep me close to Your lotus feet.

TRANSLATION
1) His lotus feet are served in devotion by multitudes of high, virtuous souls; he is the establisher of the religion of the age (as Sri Krsna-sankirttana); he is the presiding monarch (of the Visva-Vaisnava-Raja-Sabha—the universal society of the pure devotees that are the true ‘kings’ or guides of all); and he is the fulfiller of the most cherished desires of those who dispel fear (for all souls). I make my obeisance unto the lotus feet of that illustrious great soul, worshipable by one and all— perpetually do I make my obeisance unto the radiance emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my lord.
 
2) He is the leader of the fortunate souls blessed with the treasure of internal pure devotion; he is greatly merciful upon the fallen souls, being their only shelter; and his inconceivable holy feet are the shelter for the deceivers, by deceiving them. I make my obeisance unto his lotus feet—perpetually do I make my obeisances unto the radiance emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my lord.
 
3) I make my obeisance unto his divine, charming yet commanding lofty form of golden hue. That beautiful figure shames the mad ecstasy of golden lotus stems. Venerated by tens of millions of Cupids, the moons of the toenails of my Worshipful Divine Master reveal the beauty of his lotus feet. Perpetually do I make my obeisance unto that effulgence emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my lord.
 
4) Like the moon that delights the stars, he is surrounded by his circle of personal servitors, making their hearts bloom in divine ecstasy. The malicious non-devotees are made to flee in panic by the sound of his thunderous roar, and the simple, inoffensive souls attain the ultimate fortune by accepting his lotus feet. I make my obeisance unto him; perpetually do I make my obeisance unto the brilliance emanating from the toenails of the holy lotus feet of my lord.
 
5) He has revealed the vast, magnificent beauty of Sri Gaura Dhama; he has broadcast the tidings of the supreme magnanimity of Sri Gauranga throughout the whole universe; and in the hearts of the fit recipients of his grace, he has firmly established the lotus feet of Sri Gaura. I make my obeisance unto him; perpetually do I make my obeisance unto the effulgence emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my lord.
 
6) He is the eternal shelter and the Universal Guru for the souls surrendered unto Sri Gauranga. Absorbed in the service of his Gurudeva, Sri Gaura Kisora, he wholeheartedly adores Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura. I make my obeisance unto him; perpetually do I make my obeisance unto the effulgence emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my lord.
 
7) He is the illustrious personality to raise the flag that sings the glory of Sri Rupa, Sanatana, and Sri Raghunatha. His glory is sung throughout the world as nondifferent from the powerful personality of brilliant erudition, Sri Jiva. And he has won the renown of being one with the hearts of Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja and Thakura Narottama. I make my obeisance unto him; perpetually do I bow down to the brilliance emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my Divine Master.
 
8) Bestowing his grace upon all souls, he is Hari-kirttana incarnate. As the associate of Sri Gaura, he relieves Mother Earth of the burden of offences committed upon her. And he is so gracious that his endurance of all beings excels that of even a father. I make my obeisance unto him—the mine of all these qualities; perpetually do I bow down to the effulgence emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my Divine Master.
 
9) Like a wish-fulfilling tree for his surrendered servitors (he fulfills their heart’s aspiration), even a tree is shamed by his magnanimity and forbearance. And great personalities who are competent to confer boons—they, too, worship his lotus feet. I make my obeisance unto him; perpetually do I bow down to the radiance emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my Divine Master.
 
10) The crown-jewel of the paramahamsas, the Prince of the treasure of the supreme perfection of life, Sri Krsna-prema, he accepted the robes of a mendicant sannyasi just to deliver the fallen souls. The topmost tridandi sannyasis attend his lotus feet. I make my obeisance unto him; perpetually do I bow down to the effulgence emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my Divine Master.
 
11) He is the dear most intimate follower of the Divine Daughter of Sri Vrsabhanu, and I know myself as the most fortunate by taking the dust of his holy feet upon my head. I make my obeisance unto his invincible, wondrously purifying lotus feet—perpetually do I bow down to the brilliance emanating from the toenails of the holy feet of my Divine Master.

TRANSLATION
(Introductory Verse)
The glorious Rama once visited Ahobala, where He saw the deity of Lord Nrsimha. He offered His obeisances to Lord Kamalapati (husband of the goddess of fortune) and prayed as follows.
 
1) O Govinda, Kesava, Janardana, Vasudeva, Visvesa (the controller of the universe), Visva, Madhusudana, Visvarupa, Sri Padmanabha, Purusottama, Puskaraksa, Narayana, Acyuta. O Lord Nrsimha I offer my respectful obeisances unto You again and again.
 
2) I have taken shelter of Lord Nrsimha unto whose lotus feet demigods, prominent yogis, gandharvas, vidyadharas and kinnaras, are constantly offering their obeisances.
 
3) I have taken shelter of Lord Nrsimha by whose mercy people receive all the Vedas, the essence of all scriptures, knowledge, strength, reputation and wealth.
 
4) You are Lord Brahma, Lord Siva and the best person Lord Narayana. You are the master of the Marutas and You are the sun, the moon, air and the fire as well as the Marut -ganas. I offer my obeisances unto You.
 
5) I offer my obeisances unto Lord Nrsimha who is the creator, the maintainer and the destroyer of the entire universe. Although You perform all of these three acts simultaneously You are completely beyond these activities. You are the all pervading, unlimited supreme spirit.
 
(Concluding Verses)
Praying this way the best of the Raghus, Lord Ramacandra worshipped Lord Hari. At that time the demigods showered a rain of flowers on the head of Lord Nrsimhadeva.
 
This is the best of prayers, called pancamrta or five nectars compiled by Lord Rama Himself. One who reads this will be liberated eternally.
