LYRICS
(1)
emana śacīra nandana vine
‘prema’ bali’ nāma, ati-adbhuta, śruta haita kā’ra kāne?
 
(2)
śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmera, sva-guṇa mahimā, kevā jānāita āra?
vṛndā-vipinera, mahā madhurimā, praveśa haita kā’ra?
 
(3)
kevā jānāita, rādhāra mādhurya, rasa-yaśa camatkāra?
tā’ra anubhāva, sāttvika vikāra, gocara chila vā kā’ra?
 
(4)
vraje je vilāsa, rāsa mahā-rāsa, prema parakīya tattva
gopīra mahimā, vyabhicārī sīmā, kā’ra avagati chila eta?
 
(5)
dhanya kali dhanya, nitāi-caitanya, parama karuṇā kari’
vidhi-agocara, je prema-vikāra, prakāśe jagata-bhari’
 
(6)
uttama adhama, kichu nā bāchila, yāciyā dileka kola
kahe premānande, emana gaurāńge, antare dhariyā dola
 
TRANSLATION
1) Aho! Without the mercy of Sri Gaurasundara, the son of Saci, who could have heard about that extremely wonderful prema-nama?
 
2) Who would have told us the unlimited glories of sri-krsna-nama? If Sri Gaurahari, who is Krsna endowed with the bhava and color of Sri Radha, had not appeared and described the unparalleled sweetness of Vrndavana, and if He had not poured His causeless mercy upon the fallen jivas of Kali-yuga without discrimination, then who could have entered into the sweetness of that Vrndavana?
 
3) Sri Radha is the last limit of that most effulgent madhura-rasa. Her wonderful mahabhava consists of adhirudha, modana, madana, and various other ecstasies. Without rasika-sekhara Sri Gaurahari’s mercy, who could have known all of this? How was it possible for anyone to know of the divine sattvika transformations before Sri Saci-nandana Gaurahari revealed them in Jagannatha Puri at Sri Gambhira, within the house of Kasi Misra, while He tasted Srimati Radhika’s moods of separation?
 
4) Without Him who could have understood the loving affairs in parakiya rasa shared between akhila-rasamrta-murti Sri Krsna and mahabhava-mayi Sri Radha and Her kaya-vyuha-svarupa gopis? Who made it possible to know the glories of the gopis, their transcendental bodies and their various bhavas – vibhava, anubhava, sattvika, and vyabhhicari?
 
5) O blessed Kali, you are most glorious, for Sri Gaurahari and Nityananda Prabhu have appeared in this world to display supreme compassion. They filled the world with such high levels of prema which were incomprehensible even to Brahmaji.
 
6) Without discriminating as to who is elevated or fallen, They embraced everyone. Sri Premananda says, "O brothers, keep that Sri Gaurasundara locked in your heart of hearts."

Song Name: Sakala Vaisnava Gosai Doya Koro More
Author: Radha Mohana Dasa
Language: Bengali
 
LYRICS:
(1)
sakala vaiṣṇava gosāi doyā koro more
dante tṛṇa dhari’ kahe e dīna pāmare
 
(2)
śrī guru-caraṇa āra śrī kṛṣṇa-caitanya
pāda-padma pāoyāiyā more kara dhanya
 
(3)
tomā’ sabāra karuṇā vine ihā prāpti naya
viśeṣe ayogya mui kahila niścaya
 
(4)
vāñchā-kalpa-taru hao karuṇā-sāgara
ei ta’ barasā mui dhariye antara
 
(5)
guṇa-leśa nāhi more aparādhera sīmā
āmā’ uddhāriyā loke dekhāo mahimā
 
(6)
nāma-sańkīrtane ruci āra prema-dhana
e rādhā-mohane deha’ haiyā sa-karuṇa
 
TRANSLATION
1) With a straw between my teeth, this very wretched and fallen person is petitioning all the Vaisnavas and Gosvamis, “Please give me your mercy.”
 
2) Sri Guru, the Vaisnavas, and Sri Krsna-Caitanya (and Nityananda Prabhu) should give me shelter at their lotus feet and make me fortunate.
 
3) Without receiving the mercy from all of the Vaisnavas, I will be bereft of shelter at the lotus feet of Gaura-Nitai. I know that I am totally unqualified.
 
4) All the Vaisnavas are vancha kalpa-taru (wish-fulfilling trees) and an ocean of mercy. It is my deepest hope that the Vaisnavas will give me their mercy so that I can thus attain the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu.
 
5) I have no good qualities and I have committed uncountable offenses, but if you will deliver me (give me bhakti), then everyone will come to know of your glories.
 
6) I am praying for taste in nama-sankirtana and for the wealth of prema. Then this Radha-mohana dasa will realize your supreme mercy.

53 Rukmini Haran (Part 1) The Original Love Story

59- Lord Jagannathji (Part 1)

When a devotee gives in charity, he doesn’t think that ‘I am giving something which is mine.’ He thinks that ‘this is the property of God and is meant for the benefit of others, and I am simply the servant delivering it for the benefit of others. I don’t get credit, the master who has created it, the Lord who has sent it to this person, he gets the credit, I am only did the deliverer, I am only the servant.’ This is knowledge. But even such charitable understanding of life is so rare in this age of kaliyuga. In this age everything wants to take more and more and more and more. For me, for my family, for my society. This is the mentality of Shishupal, who want to take the property of Krishna and enjoy. And the jiva soul which is part and parcel of Krishna, is also meant simply meant for Krishna’s service. As Rukmini is simply meant for Krishna’s service. And the exploitative forces of this world being directed by material energy or maya are trying to take our consciousness which is meant for Krishna, trying to take it and exploit it, rape it, use it for its own exploitative purposes. And the whole human society is simply victimized by the exploitation of materialistic forces.
