Sri Sri Nityananda Stuti

By Srila Bhakti Vichar Jajavar Maharaj

balarama nityananda daya kara more
tava krpa bina gaura ke janite pare [1]

O Balaram Nityananda! Please be merciful to me. Who can possibly know Gaura without Your mercy?

gaura janma agre prabho! tumi janamiya
janaile gaura-tattva gauranga bhajiya [2]

Prabhu! Born before Gaura, You worshipped Gauranga and told everyone about who He is.

‘bhaja gauranga, kaha gauranga, laha gaurangera nama re
ye jana gauranga bhaje se haya amara prana re’ [3]

‘Worship Gauranga! Say Gauranga! Take Gauranga’s Name! Those who worship Gauranga are My heart and soul!’

iha tava gita bali, gaya bhakta-gana
tomadvara sri-gauranga prakasita hana [4]

Devotees chant this song sung by You. You are the one through whom Sri Gauranga is revealed.

patitere tumi harinama prema dile
jagai madhai adi papi taraile [5]

You gave fallen souls the Holy Name and divine love. You rescued many sinners, such as Jagai and Madhai.

tava pade aparadha yei jana kare
gaurangera krpa sei paite na pare [6]

Gauranga’s mercy is unattainable for those who commit an offence at Your feet.

prema-data siromani sri-gauranga hana
toma dvara gauda-dese nama prema dena [7]

Sri Gauranga is the crest-jewel bestower of divine love. Through You, He gives the Holy Name and this divine love all over Gaudades (Bengal).

birabhuma ekachakra namaka gramete
avirbhuta haile tumi premananda dite [8]

You appeared in a village called Ekachakra in Birbhum to make everyone happy by giving them divine love.

hadai pandita pita, mata padmavati
toma hena putra pai anandita ati [9]

Your father's name is Hadai Pandit, and Your mother's name is Padmavati. When they were extremely happy to have got You as their son.

maghi sukla trayodasi (tava) prakatera kala
takhana haila dhvani ananda visala [10]

Your appearance time is the thirteenth day of the bright moon in the Magh month.

sannyasira sanga dhari’ mayapure gele
nandana acharya ghare avasthana kaile [11]

You left with a sannyasi and came to Mayapur. There, You stayed at the house of Nandan Acharya.

sarvajna sri-gaurachandra tahat’ janila
tava anvesane bhakta-gane pathaila [12]

Knowing about it, omniscient Sri Gaurachandra sent devotees to search for You.

bhakta-gana navadvipe aneka khunjila
kothao tomara dekha, keha na paila [13]

Devotees had searched all over Nabadwip for a long time, but they could not find You anywhere.

(takhana) sarva-bhakta sange gaura apani chalila
nandanera grhe yai tomare milila [14]

(Then,) together with all the devotees, Gaura went Himself to Nandan’s house and met You there.

ki ananda uchhalila donhara milane
haila vihvala dŏhe prema alingane [15]

What happiness arose there when You two met! Besides Yourselves with joy, You embraced each other in ecstacy.

bhaire paiya bhase ananda sagare
srivasera badi ane vyasa puja tare [16]

When You found Your Bother, You floated in an ocean of joy. Later, You were taken to house of Srivas, where vyasa-puja was offered to You.

nigudha tomara tattva gaura janaila
toma haite gaura ‘krsna’ jagat janila [17]

Gaura told everyone about Your esoteric nature, and through You, the world learnt that Gaura is Krishna.

tomadera karunaya maya mukta hai
tomadera karunaya radha-krsna pai [18]

By Your mercy, we can become free from illusion, and by Your mercy, we can come to Radha-Krishna.

tava krpa bina mora anya gati nai
krpa kari sri-charane deha more thi [19]

Without You, I have no other way, no other refuge. Please give me some place at Your holy feet.

sada tava nama gai ei krpa kara
tava stuti karitechhe dina yayavara [20]

Please allow me to always chant Your Name. This poor Jajavar is singing thus Your glorification.
