SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI SRI RADHA-KRISHNA VANDANA
suna he rasika jana, krsna-guna aganana,
ananta kahite nahi pare
krsna jagatera guru, krsna vanchha-kalpa-taru,
navika se bhava-parabare [1]
Listen, O relisher of transcendental ecstasy! Krishna possesses countless
qualities – even Anantadev cannot describe them! Krishna is the universal
spiritual master and a wish-fulfilling tree. He is the boatman in this ocean
of material existence.
hrdaya pidita ya’ra, krsna chikitsaka tara,
bhava-roga nasite chatura
krsna bahirmukha jane, premamrta vitarane,
krame laya nija antahpura [2]
If you have a problem with your heart, Krishna is the doctor for you. He is
very good at removing heart disease (lust). Krishna distributes the nectar of
divine love to the souls who are averse to Him and gradually takes them to
His own private quarters.
karma-bandha-jnana-bandha- avese manava andha,
tare krsna karuna-sagara
padapadma-madhu diya, andha-bhava ghuchaiya,
charane karena anuchara [3]
Krishna is an ocean of mercy for the blind people who live immersed in the
bondage of material actions and knowledge. Granting them the honey of His
lotus feet, He removes their material blindness and makes them follow His
lotus feet.
vidhi-marga-rata jane, svadhinata-ratna dane,
raga-marge karana pravesa
raga-vasa-vartti ha’ye, parakiya-bhavasraye,
labhe jiva krsna-premavesa [4]
To the people who are attached to rules and regulations, He gives the jewel
of liberation and admission to the path of spontaneous loving service. Coming
under the influence of such loving service, the soul then takes shelter in
paramour love and becomes immersed in divine love for Lord Krishna.
premamrta-bari-dhara, sada panarata ta’ra,
krsna tahadera bandhu pati
sei saba vraja-jana, su-kalyana-niketana,
dina-hina vinodera gati [5]
To those who are always attached to drinking from the torrent of nectar of
divine love, Krishna is a friend and a master (husband). Such residents of
Vraja are abodes of the greatest benediction and the only shelter of this
poor and bereft Vinod.
