By Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur
gaya gora madhur svare
Gaurasundar sings in a sweet voice:
“hare krsna hare krsna krsna krsna hare hare
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare” [1]
grhe thaka, vane thaka
sada 'hari' bale' daka
sukhe duhkhe bhulo naka
vadane hari-nam kara re [2]
Stay at home, or stay in a forest, regardless, always call out 'Hari!' In
happiness and in sadness, don't forget: chant the Lord's Name aloud.
maya-jale baddha ha'ye
achha michhe kaja la'ye
ekhan-o chetana peye
radha-madhav-nam balare [3]
Bound in Maya's net, you work in vain. Now, while you are still conscious,
chant 'Radha-Madhava'.
jivana ha-ila sesa
na bhajile hrsikesa
bhaktivinod-upadesa
ek-bar nam-rase mata re [4]
Your life is ending, but you have not served Hrsikes. Bhakti Vinod advises:
once relish His Name's nectar.
