Krishna Prema Mayi Radha feat. Kirtan Premi

This English prayer was offered to Srila Prabhupada in Calcutta, 1971, by Yamuna Devi. Now on the 4th anniversary of Yamuna Devi rejoining Srila Prabhupada, we offer this to Yamuna's dearest friend, Dina, who no doubt misses her and Srila Prabhupada beyond what can be expressed.

Our enormous thanks to Govinda Ghosh, who worked around the clock with anyone who walked in to his home to be a part of this offering. He worked so hard, but said he just wants to do something nice for Dina.

Nitya Amara Shri Guru
English prayer to Srila Prabhupada by Yamuna Devi, 1971
Adaptation and Bengali translation by Shrivas Beriault
1)
Sahasra-koti jiva, samsara bhramiya, koti-koti-janma gelo
Kichu dhanya-jana, bhakti-lata-dhana, guru-krishna-krpaya pelo

Thousands, millions of souls, are wandering this world, for millions of births. Some fortunate ones attain the treasure of devotion, which is like a beautiful, blooming vine, by the mercy of Guru and Krishna.

Chorus:
Nitya amara sri guru, ei krpa magi ami
Yugala-charana prema prakashite smarana kori

Oh my eternal spiritual master, I beg this mercy! May I be in constant remembrance of the dawning of love for the Divine Couple’s lotus feet.

2) Nama-guna-lila-bhakta, kirtane jagata bhuli
Tomara charana paite – ei krpa magi sada

Singing Their names, glories, pastimes, and glorifying Their devotees, may I forget this world. I beg the mercy of attaining your feet.

3) braja-kunje basi, shravana-kirtana, maha-mantra preme gai
Tomara krpaya, bhakti-lata-bija, praphullita habe tai

I pray to sit in the groves of Braja, hearing and chanting, singing the Mahamantra in great love. By your mercy, the seed of the bhakti-lata will then sprout.

4) Kapata matsarya, kama-krodha-lobha, ahankari bhakta
Nama-sankirtane, chindiya chadibo, ei saba mayara shakha

Hypocrisy, envy, lust, anger, greed, and the false devotee ego – by Nama-sankirtana may I sever and discard all these weeds of maya.

5) Vrndavane tada, radha-damodara-priya, saundarya-prakashe tara
Kataksa-darshana-paiya, hrdaya sarvanande, bhasi amara

Then, in Vrndavana, in the glow of beloved Radha-Damodara’s beauty, I will catch that wistful glance, and my heart will be consumed with all joy.

6) nitya amara sri guru, tumi sata shuddha-bhakta
Kripamayi dite sabe, radhara guhya krsna seva

O my spiritual master, you are truly a pure devotee! Mercifully, you gave us the secrets of Radha’s service to Krishna.

7) shridhama navadvipe, pibo bhakti-mata-vanya
Avidya ahankara chadi gaibo, tumi hrt-mandire sada

In Shridama Navadvipa, may I drink of the flood of devotion. Giving up arrogance and ignorance, I will sing of your place in my heart forever.  



Yamuna's Prayer To Prabhupada - for Dina from Friends

Song Name: Nitai Pada Kamala
Official Name: Nityananda Nistha Song 1; Mana Siksa
Author: Narottama Dasa Thakura
Book Name: Prarthana
Language: Bengali
 
LYRICS:
(1)
nitāi-pada-kamala, koṭi-candra-suśītala
je chāyāy jagata jurāy
heno nitāi bine bhāi, rādhā-kṛṣṇa pāite nāi
dṛḍha kori' dharo nitāir pāy
 
(2)
se sambandha nāhi jā'r, bṛthā janma gelo tā'r
sei paśu boro durācār
nitāi nā bolilo mukhe, majilo saḿsāra-sukhe
vidyā-kule ki koribe tār
 
(3)
ahańkāre matta hoiyā, nitāi-pada pāsariyā
asatyere satya kori māni
nitāiyer koruṇā habe, braje rādhā-kṛṣṇa pābe
dharo nitāi-caraṇa du'khāni
 
(4)
nitāiyer caraṇa satya, tāhāra sevaka nitya

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.

Ten Million Moons (Nitai Pada Kamala) by Sri Gauravani

Śrī Śrī Śikṣāṣṭaka
Aštuoni Viešpaties Čaitanjos pamokymai
Viešpats Čaitanja Mahāprabhu nurodė savo mokiniams rašyti knygas apie Krišnos mokslą. Šią užduotį Jo pasekėjai vykdo iki šiol. Viešpaties Čaitanjos išdėstytos filosofijos paaiškinimai ir pristatymai dėka mokinių sekos yra patys gausiausi, tiksliausi ir nuosekliausi. Nors Viešpats Čaitanja dar jaunystėje buvo plačiai pripažintas mokslininkas, Jis paliko tik aštuonis posmus, vadinamus Šikšāštaka. Šie aštuoni posmai aiškiai atskleidžia Jo misiją ir nurodymus. Šios labiausiai vertingos maldos yra pateikiamos čia.

ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ
śreyaḥ-kairava-candrikā-vitaraṇaṁ vidyā-vadhū-jīvanam
ānandāmbudhi-vardhanaṁ prati-padaṁ pūrṇāmṛtāsvādanaṁ
sarvātma-snapanaṁ paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṇkīrtanam
 
Šlovė Šri Krišnos sankirtanai, kuri nuvalo dulkes, per ilgus metus susikaupusias širdyje, ir užgesina sąlygoto gyvenimo gaisrą – sustabdo besikartojančius gimimą ir mirtį. Sankirtanos judėjimas – aukščiausias palaiminimas visai žmonijai, nes jis skleidžia malonių mėnulio spindulius. Tai gyva transcendentinio žinojimo esmė, maitinanti transcendentinį palaimos vandenyną ir leidžianti iki galo pajusti visad mūsų trokštamo nektaro skonį.
 
nāmnām akāri bahudhā nija-sarva-śaktis
tatrārpitā niyamitaḥ smaraṇe na kālaḥ
etādṛśī tava kṛpā bhagavan mamāpi
durdaivam īdṛśam ihājani nānurāgaḥ
 
O mano Viešpatie, vien Tavo šventas vardas gali suteikti visas malones gyvoms būtybėms, todėl Tu vadiniesi šimtais ir milijonais vardų, tokių kaip Krišna ir Govinda. Į tuos vardus Tu sudėjai visas Savo transcendentines energijas. Jiems atminti ir giedoti nėra griežtų ir sunkiai įvykdomų taisyklių. O mano Viešpatie, iš Savo gailestingumo Tu suteikei mums galimybę lengvai Tave pasiekti per Tavo šventus vardus, bet aš toks nelaimingas, kad darau įžeidimus, todėl manęs jie nežavi.
 
tṛṇād api sunīcena
taror api sahiṣṇunā
amāninā mānadena
kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ
 
Šventą Viešpaties vardą reikia kartoti nuolankioje dvasios būsenoje, laikant save menkesniu už šiaudą gatvėje. Reikia būti pakantesniam už medį, paminti netikro prestižo jausmą ir būti visada pasirengusiam išreikšti pagarbą artimam savo. Tokioje dvasios būsenoje šventą Viešpaties vardą galima giedoti be perstojo.
 
na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na sundarīṁ
kavitāṁ vā jagad-īśa kāmaye
mama janmani janmanīśvare
bhavatād bhaktir ahaitukī tvayi

O visagali Viešpatie, aš netrokštu kaupti turtų, nenoriu nei gražuolių moterų, nei pasekėjų būrio. Tenoriu vieno – be jokių išskaičiavimų, su atsidavimu tarnauti Tau gimimas po gimimo.

ayi nanda-tanuja kiṅkaraṁ
patitaṁ māṁ viṣame bhavāmbudhau
kṛpayā tava pāda-paṅkaja-
sthita-dhūlī-sadṛśaṁ vicintaya

O Maharadžos Nandos sūnau [Krišna], esu amžinas Tavo tarnas, bet taip jau atsitiko, kad aš nupuoliau į gimimo ir mirties vandenyną. Prašau ištraukti mane iš šio vandenyno ir padaryti vienu iš atomų prie Tavo lotosinių pėdų.

nayanaṁ galad-aśru-dhārayā
vadanaṁ gadgada-ruddhayā girā
pulakair nicitaṁ vapuḥ kadā
tava-nāma-grahaṇe bhaviṣyati
 
O mano Viešpatie, ar sulauksiu tos dienos, kai mano akys pasipuoš meilės ašaromis, kurios be paliovos liesis, giedant Tavo šventą vardą? Kada, tariant Tavo vardą, trūkčios mano balsas ir šiaušis plaukai?
 
yugāyitaṁ nimeṣeṇa
cakṣuṣā prāvṛṣāyitam
śūnyāyitaṁ jagat sarvaṁ
govinda-viraheṇa me
 
O Govinda! Kiekviena išsiskyrimo su Tavimi akimirka prailgsta tarytum dvylika ir net daugiau metų. Iš mano akių upeliais srūva ašaros, ir visas pasaulis tampa tuščias, kai greta nėra Tavęs.
 
āśliṣya vā pāda-ratāṁ pinaṣṭu mām
adarśanān marma-hatāṁ karotu vā
yathā tathā vā vidadhātu lampaṭo
mat-prāṇa-nāthas tu sa eva nāparaḥ
 
Vienintelis mano Viešpats – Krišna, ir toks Jis liks visados – ar šiurkščiai suspaus Savo glėby, ar sudraskys širdį nepasirodydamas priešais. Jo valioje daryti viską, ko tik Jis užsigeidžia. Kad ir kas atsitiktų, Jis visada bus mano Viešpats, kurį aš garbinu.
