| Bhajahu re mana sri-nanda-nandana-abhaya-caranaravinda re
|
| Durlabha manava-janama sat-sange taroho e bhava-sindhu re
|
| O mind, just worship the lotus feet of the son of nanda, which make one
|
| fearless. |
| having obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of
|
| wordly existence through the association of saintly persons.
|
| Sita atapa bata barisana e dina jamini jagi re
|
| Biphale sevinu krpana durajana capala sukha-laba lagi' re
|
| My dear brother, i request that you just worship lord caitanya and nityananda
|
| with firm conviction and faith. |
| if one wants to be krishna-conscious by this
|
| process, one has to give up his engagement in sense gratification.
|
| one simply has to chant, «hare krishna! |
| hari hari!» |
| without any motive.
|
| E dhana, yaubana, putra, parijana ithe ki ache paratiti re
|
| Kamala-dala-jala, jivana talamala bhajahu hari pada niti re
|
| What assurance of real happiness is there in all of one’s wealth, youthfulness,
|
| sons, and family members? |
| this life is tottering like a drop of water on a
|
| lotus petal; |
| therefore you should always serve and worship the divine feet of
|
| lord hari.
|
| Sravana, kirtana, smarana, vandana, pada sevana, dasya re
|
| Pujana, sakhi-jana, atma-nivedana govinda-dasa-abhilasa re
|
| It is the desire and great longing of govinda dasa to engage himself in the
|
| nine processes of bhakti, namely hearing the glories of lord hari and chanting
|
| those glories, constantly remembering him and offering prayers to him,
|
| serving the lord’s lotus feet, serving the supreme lord as a servant,
|
| worshiping him with flowers and incense and so forth, serving him as a friend,
|
| and completely offering the lord one’s very self. |
