SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
hari-bala hari-bala hari-bala bhai re
hari-nama aniyachhe gauranga nitai re [1]
(modera duhkha dekhe re)
Chant the Lord’s Name! Chant the Lord’s Name! Brother, chant the Lord’s Name!
Gauranga and Nitai have brought this Holy Name (seeing our misery).
hari-nama bina jivera anya dhana nai re
hari-name suddha ha’la jagai madhai re [2]
(bada papi chhilo re)
Except for this Holy Name, jiva souls have nothing to treasure. Jagai
and Madhai became pure by chanting this Holy Name (although they were great
sinners!).
michha maya-baddha ha’ye jivana katai re
(ami amara bale re)
asa-base ghure ghure ara kotha yai re [3]
(asara sesa nai re)
I spend my life in illusory bondage of Maya (considering that I belong to
myself). Full of hopes, I have been travelling everywhere, but where am I to
go now? (There is no end of such hopes!)
hari bale deo bhai asara mukhe chhai re
(nirasa ta sukha re)
bhoga-moksa-vanchha chhadi’ hari-nama gai re [4]
(suddha-sattva ha’ye re)
Brother, chant the Holy Name! Throw ash into the face of all such hopes!
(There is no hope for happiness!) Chant the Holy Name of the Lord without
desiring enjoyment or liberation. (Establish yourself in pure goodness!)
na cheyeo namera gune o-saba phala pai re
(tuchchha phalera prayasa chhede re)
vinoda bale yai la’ye namera balai re [5]
(namera balai chhede re)
The Holy Name’s inherent quality is such that you can get all those results
without even wishing for them. (Stop striving for such trifle gain!) Vinod
says that aspiring after such things is only an offence to the Holy Name.
(Give up offences to the Holy Name!)
