SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI GURU VANDANA
sri-rupa-manjari-pada, sei mora sampada,
sei mora bhajana-pujana
sei mora prana-dhana, sei mora abharana,
sei mora jivanera jivana [1]
The holy feet of Sri Rupa Manjari are my wealth, my service, my worship, the
very treasure of my life, my ornament and the very life of my life.
sei mora rasa-nidhi, sei mora vanchha-siddhi,
sei mora vedera dharama
sei vrata, sei tapa, sei mora mantra japa,
sei mora dharama karama [2]
They are an ocean of my spiritual ecstasy, the fulfilment of all my dreams,
my Vedic religion, my vows, my penances, my mantra, my japa, my
religious duties.
anukula habe viddhi, se-pade haibe siddhi,
nirakhiba e dui nayane
se rupa-madhuri-rasi, prana-kuvalaya-sasi,
praphullita habe nisi-dine [3]
May Providence be favourable to me – may my whole being aim only at attaining
her holy feet, in such a tangible way that I will behold them with my own
eyes. May the lotus of my heart be nourished day and night in the lustre of
her beautiful feet, blooming and dancing in its sweet rays.
tuya-adarsana-ahi, garale jarala dehi,
chira-dina tapita jivana
ha ha prabhu! kara daya, deha more pada-chhaya,
narottama laila sarana [4]
Bitten by the snake of separation from you, I am tortured by its venom – my
very life is constantly burning in agony. O Master! Please give me shelter in
the shade of your feet! Narottam is surrendering to you…
