thakura vaisnava-ganakari ei nivedana
mo bada adhama durachara
daruna-samsara-nidhitahe dubaila vidhi
kese dhari' more kara para [1]

O worshippable Vaisnavas, I offer you this prayer. I am very fallen and misbehaved. Destiny has immersed me in the fearsome ocean of material existence. Please grab me by the hair and pull me to the shore.

 

vidhi bada balavanna sune dharama-jnana
sadai karama-pase bandhe
na dekhi tarana lesayata dekhi saba klesa
anatha katare tei kande [2]

Destiny is very powerful. It does not listen to my knowledge of religion and always binds me with the ropes of karma. I do not see even a trace of hope. All I see is hardship. This orphan cries in distress.

 

kama, krodha, lobha, moha,mada, abhimana saha
apana apana sthane tane
aichana amara manaphire yena andha jana
supatha vipatha nahi jane [3]

Lust, anger, greed, illusion, pride, and ego all pull me in their own directions. Thus my mind wanders like a blind man who does not know the right way from the wrong way.

 

na la-inu sat mataasate majila chita
tuya paye na karinu asa
narottama dase kayadekhi' suni' lage bhaya
taraiya laha nija pasa [4]

I have never accepted the proper conception. My mind has been immersed in illusion, and I have never aspired for your feet. Narottam Das says, "Seeing and hearing about my situation, I am stricken with fear. Please rescue me and keep me by your side."

SRI VAISHNAV VANDANA

(Ohe) vaisnava thakura, dayara sagara
Ei-bara karuna kara vaisnava gosani
Thakura vaisnava pada, avanira susampada
Thakura vaisnava-gana! kari ei nivedana
Krpa kara vaisnava thakura
Ki-rupe paiba seva muni durachara
Dhana mora nityananda
Mana tumi tirthe sada rata

Start the Fire
'Answers to three question—accepting a guru, preaching to a child, and the meaning of Namabhas. 'You first start the fire, the wind will come!''

 

      

Gurudev is very kind. If I have ego, then he will not come to me, but If I have no ego,
he will come to me—I am a fallen soul, and it is his duty to rescue the fallen souls.
