SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI NITYANANDA VANDANA

Sriman Nityananada Dvadasakam

(By Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj)

yo ’nanto ’nanta-vaktrair niravadhi hari-samkirtanam samvidhatte
yo va dhatte dharitrim sirasi niravadhi ksudra-dhuli-kaneva
yah sesas-chatra-sayasana-vasana-vidhaih sevate te yad-arthah
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [1]

As Anantadev, He always chants the Holy Name with His countless mouths; as tiny dust particles, He holds the Earth on His head; as Sesadev, He extends His unlimited form and serves Lord Krishna, His originator, as an umbrella, bed, seat, cloth and other paraphernalia. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

amsair yah ksirasayi sakala-bhuvanapah sarva-jivantarastho
yo va garbhodasayi dasa-sata-vadano deva-suktair vigitah
bramandasesa-garbha prakrti-pati-patir jiva-sanghasrayangah
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [2]

As His expansion, Ksirodakasayi Visnu, He is maintaining the whole world and resides within all living entities; He is glorified by the Vedic aphorisms as the thousand-headed Lord Garbhodakasayi; countless universes exist within His womb; as Paramatma, the Master of material nature, He is the shelter of billions of souls. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

yasyamso vyuha-madhye vilasati paramavyomni samkarsanakhya
atanvan suddha-sattvam nikhila-hari-sukham chetanam lilaya cha
jivahankara-bhavaspada iti kathitah kutrachij-jivavad yah
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [3]

In Paravyoma Vaikuntha, He enjoys His pastimes expanding Himself into Sankarsan – renowned among the quadruple forms as Sankarsan, He bestows the happiness of transcendental pastimes of the Supreme Lord Hari upon those who live in pure goodness (suddha-sattva); within a soul, He is present as the ego and sometimes performs His pastimes just like an ordinary soul. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

yaschadi-vyuha-madhye prabhavati sagano mula-sankarsanakhyo
dvaravatyam tad-urddhe madhupuri vasati prabha-vakhyo vilasah
sarvamsi rama-nama vrajapuri ramate sanujo yah svarupe
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [4]

He resides in Dvaraka as the primary expansion Sankarsan together with His associates; above that, in Mathura, He enjoys His pastimes as Prabha; and in Vrajapuri, He plays together with His creator, Lord Sri Krishna, as His elder brother Balaram, the origin of all incarnations of the Lord. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

sri-krsna-premanama parama-sukha-mayah kopyachintyah padartho
yad gandhat sajjanaugha nigama-bahumatam moksam apy aksipanti
kaivalyaisvarya-seva-prada-gana iti yasyangatah premadatuh
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [5]

Having got even the faintest scent of anything inconceivable related to the divine love for Sri Krishna, which bestows the greatest happiness, sadhus scornfully cast aside the liberation of merging with the Absolute that is corroborated by the Vedas – He is the giver of that divine love for Sri Krishna. Impersonal liberation and opulent service can be attained through expansions of His expansions. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

yo balye lilayaikah parama-madhuraya chaikachakranagaryam
mata-pitror janana-matha nija-suhrdam hladayams chitta-chakram
tirthan vabhrama sarvanupahrta janako nyasina prarthitas cha
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [6]

When He manifested His sweet childhood pastimes in Ekachakra, He delighted the hearts of His parents, relatives and friends. When a sannyasi came to His parents and begged them for Him, He travelled with him to all holy places. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

bhramam bhraman cha tirthan yati-mukuta-mani-madhavendra-prasangat
labdhollasah pratiksya prakatita-charitam gaura-dhamajagama
sri-gaurah srinivasadibhir api yamavapalaye nandanasya
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [7]

As He travelled to various holy places, He met with the crest-jewel of all sannyasis, Srila Sri Madhavendra Puri. Feeling elated after his association, He arrived in Gaura Dham and waited at the house of Nandan Acharya for Gaurasundar and His associates (Srinivas and others) to reveal themselves to Him. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

praptajno gaura-chandradakhilajana-ganoddhara-nama pradane
yah prapya dvau surapau kali-kalusa-hatau bhratarau brahma-daityau
gadha-prema-prakasaih krta-rudhira-vapus chapi tav-ujjahara
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [8]

In this Age of Kali, He received an order from Gaurachandra to deliver the whole world by bestowing the Holy Name and divine love to everyone. Although He was struck by two brahman brothers (Jagai and Madhai) – two drunkards ruined by the faults of Kali – and blood fell from His head, He delivered them by giving them very strong divine love. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

saksad-gauro gananam sirasi yad avadhutasya kaupina-khandam
samdharttun chadidesasava-yavana-vadhu-sprsta-drsto ’pi vandyah
brahmadyanam apiti prabhu-parihrtakanam api svesta-pithah
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [9]

Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu ordered His close associates to place on their heads a piece of loincloth of this greatest avadhut. Even if He touches a drunk Muslim girl, He is forever worshippable for Brahma and all other gods. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

uddharttum jnana-karmady-apahata-charitan-gaura-chandro yad asau
nyasam krtva tu maya mrgamanusrtavan grahayan krsna-nama
tach-chhayevanvadhavat sthala-jala-gahane yo ’pi tasyesta-chestah
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [10]

When Sri Gaurachandra showed the pastime of taking sannyas so that sophists, who had strayed from the right path as the result of their knowledge, material activities and other practices, could accept the Holy Name of Krishna, Nityananda Prabhu followed Him like a shadow by water, land, through forests – wherever He went. He fulfils all cherished desires of Sri Gaurachandra. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

sri-radha-prema-lubdho divasa-nisi-tada-svada-mattaika-lilo
gauro yan-chadidesa svaparikara-vrtam krsna-nama pradatum
gaude ’badham dadau yah subhaga-gana-dhanam gaura-nama prakamam
sri-nityananda-chandram bhaja bhaja satatam gaura-krsna-pradam tam [11]

Intoxicated day and night tasting the nectar of Sri Radha’s divine love, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ordered Sri Nityananda Prabhu to preach about the Holy Name and associates of Lord Sri Krishna. When Sri Nityananda Prabhu came to Gaudadesh (Bengal), He widely distributed Sri Gaura’s Holy Name, which is the priceless wealth of sadhus. Dear mind, eternally worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the bestower of Gaura-Krishna.

sri-radha-krsna-lila-rasa-madhura-sudhasvada-suddhaika-murtau
gaure sraddham drdham bho prabhu-parikara-samrat prayachchhadhame ’smin
ullanghyanghrim hi yasyakhila-bhajana-katha svapnavach chaiva mithya
sri-nityananda-chandram patita-saranadam gauradam tam bhaje ’ham [12]

O Nityananda Prabhu, the emperor among the Lord’s associates! Please bestow upon this lowly soul strong faith in and devotion to Sri Gauranga, the embodiment of the sweet nectarean taste of ecstatic pastimes of Sri Radha-Krishna. If somebody dismisses Nityananda Prabhu’s lotus feet, all their desires and spiritual practices become a dream-like sham. I worship this Sri Nityananda-chandra, the giver of shelter for the fallen and the giver of Gaura.
