SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI VAISHNAV VANDANA

thakura vaisnava pada, avanira susampada,
suna bhai hana eka mana
asraya laiya bhaje, tare krsna nahi tyaje,
ara saba mare akarane [1]

The holy feet of Vaishnav Thakur are the greatest wealth on earth. Brother, listen one-pointedly to this. Krishna never leaves those who have taken shelter in His devotees and serve them; everyone else simply dies in vain.

vaisnava charana-jala, prema-bhakti dite bala,
ara keha nahe balavanta
vaisnava-charana-renu, mastake bhusana binu,
ara nahi bhusanera anta [2]

The water that has washed the holy feet of a Vaishnav has the power to give transcendental love; nobody else has such power. If your head is not decorated with the dust from the holy feet of a Vaishnav, there is no value in any other ornaments.

tirtha-jala pavitra gune, likhiyachhe purane,
se saba bhaktira pravanchana
vaisnavera padodaka, sama nahe ei saba,
yate haya vanchhita purana [3]

The purifying qualities of the water from holy places is mentioned in the Puranas, but all this is just a way of cheating yourself out of devotion: all this can never compare to the water that has washed the holy feet of a Vaishnav, which fulfils all wishes.

vaisnava sangete mana, anandita anuksana,
sada haya krsna para-sanga
dina narottama kande, hiya dhairya nahi bandhe,
mora dasa kena haila bhanga [4]

In Vaishnavs’ association, my heart constantly rejoices and I always feel the association of Lord Krishna Himself. Poor Narottam is crying – his heart can no longer endure it. Why has such a calamity come to my life?
