Sri Saraswat Arati

By Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj

 

jayare jayare jaya gaura-sarasvati
bhakativinodanvaya karunamurati [1]

All glory, all glory to Sri Gaura–Saraswati, the holy embodiment of mercy in the line of Sri Bhaktivinod Thakur.

prakasile gaura-sevabhuvana mangala
bhakati-siddhanta suddha prajnana ujjvala [2]

Revealing service to Sri Gaura, which spreads auspiciousness in this world, you presented devotional teachings (bhakti-siddhanta) that radiate self-effulgent pure transcendental knowledge.

radha-syama eka-tanu dakse goraraya
bame radha madhye svayam syama-gopa jaya [4]

All glory to the combined form of Sri Sri Radha-Syam, Sri Gaura Ray, on the right, Sri Radha on the left, and the dark cowherd boy Himself in the middle!

vraja-rasa nava-bhave navadvipe raje
udare madhura raga abhinava saje [4]

Vraja's rasa manifests in a new way in Nabadwip: madhura-rasa dresses newly in benevolence.

madhurya kaivalya raga vrajera niryasa
prapti parakasthatahe gauranga vilasa [5]

Sweet divine love, Vraja's essence, reaches its climax in Sri Gauranga's Pastimes.

radhabhava-kanti angikari' bhala mate
daksine asana rasa garimadekhate [6]

Sri Gauranga earnestly embraces Sri Radha's heart and halo, and takes His place on the right to show His rasa's glory.

radha-rasa-traya-svada rahasya prayasa
nirakhi praphulla radhamukhe manda hasa [7]

Seeing Krsna's secret endeavour to taste Her threefold rasa, Radha is fulfilled and smiles gently.

madhye rahi' vamsi-rave ghose vamsi-dhara
radhara sampade ami gauranga-sundara! [8]

Remaining in the middle, the flute player declares with the song of His flute, "With Radha's wealth, I am Gauranga-sundar!"

mad abhistha rupa radhara hrdaya mandire
gauranga bhajile susthu sphurti paya tare [9]

"If you serve Gauranga, My form which is cherished in the temple of Radha's heart will be fully revealed to you."

nadiyaprakase mahaprabhu gaura-nidhi
patita-pavana deve milaila vidhi [10]

Gauranga Mahaprabhu appeared in Nadia, and Providence combined the saviour of the fallen (the Kali-yuga-avatar) within Him.

e-rupa arati brahma sambhu agochara
gaura-bhakta krpa-patra matra siddhi sara [11]

This type of arati is unknown to Brahma and Siva. Only a recipient of Sri Gauranga's devotees' mercy reaches such perfection.

srisvarupa, ramananda, rupa, sanatana
sriraghu, jivadi krpaya dekhe bhakta-jana [12]

Devotees see this arati by the mercy of Sri Svarup Damodar, Sri Ramananda Ray, Sri Rupa, Sri Sanatan, Sri Raghunath, Sri Jiva, and their associates.

jaya guru-gaura-radha-govinda-sundara
jaya dao bhakta vrnda nitya nirantara [13]

All glory to Sri Guru, Gauranga, and Radha-Govinda-sundar! O devotees, glorify them always and forever!

You are worshipping the material life, you are not worshipping Krishna, not following the sadhus' advice, so you become your own enemy—you are eating your own brain.
