SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI NITYANANDA VANDANA

iha kali-yuga dhanya, nityananda chaitanya,
patita lagiya avatara
dekhi jiva bada duhkhi, haiya sa-karuna ankhi,
harinama ganthi dila hara [1]

In this blessed Age of Kali, Nityananda and Chaitanya advent to rescue fallen souls. Seeing jiva souls’ great misery, They gave them a necklace string of Holy Names.

nija-guna prema-dhana, dila gora jane jana,
patitera age dana kare
nija bhakta sange kari’, phire pahu gaura-hari,
yachiya yachiya ghare ghare [2]

Gora gave the treasure of divine love, which is His own internal glory, to anyone and everyone, but first He granted it to the fallen. Gaura-hari wanders about together with His devotees, going house to house.

jada, andha, pangu yata, pasu, pakhi adi kata,
kandaila nija prema diya
prema-rase matta haiya, anna-jala teyagiya,
phire tara nachiya gaiya [3]

Approaching so many daft, blind and lame people, even so many beasts, birds and other creatures, He granted them divine love and made them cry out of love for Him. Driven mad by the ecstasy of that divine love, all these fortunate souls stopped eating and drinking and began to roam around, dancing and singing.

hena pahu na bhajilu, janamiya na marilu,
hatera dhana harailu nidhi
kahe haridasa chhara, kona gati nai ara,
kena yuge vanchita kaila vidhi [4]

‘But I have not worshipped this Lord! Why did I not just die right after birth?! I had a treasure right on the palm of my hand but I lost it!’ – says this wretched Haridas. ‘There is no other way. Why has Providence cheated me like this in this Age?’
