SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI GURU VANDANA
gurudev! kabe tava karuna prakase
sri-gauranga-lila, haya nitya-tattva,—
ei drdha visvase
‘hari’ ‘hari’ bali’, godruma kanane,
bhramiba darsana ase [1]
Gurudev! Sri Gauranga’s pastimes continue eternally – keeping firm faith in
this, when will I, by your mercy, roam the forests of Godrum, chanting,
‘Hari! Hari!’ in hope of seeing those pastimes?
nitai, gauranga, advaita, srivasa,
gadadhara—pancha-jana
krsna-nama-rase, bhasa’be jagat,
kari’ maha-sankirtana [2]
Nitai, Gauranga, Advaita, Srivas and Gadadhar – these Five will flood the
entire world with the nectar of Krishna’s Name, chanting all together in a
grand maha-sankirtan.
nartana-vilasa, mrdanga-vadana,
suniba apana kane
dekhiya dekhiya, se lila-madhuri,
bhasiba premera vane [3]
I will behold the jubilant dancing and hear with my own ears the sounds of
drums. Watching these sweet pastimes, I will drift in a flood of divine
love.
na dekhi’ abara, se lila-ratana,
kandi ‘ha gauranga’ bali’
amare visayi, ‘pagala’ baliya,
angete dibeka dhuli [4]
Then, not being able to see these precious pastimes anymore, I will weep and
cry, ‘O Gauranga!’ Outside people (materialists) will call me mad and throw
dust at me.
