SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI ARATI GITI
Gupta Govardhan Arati at Sri Govinda Kunda
(By Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj)
jaya jaya girirajera arati visala
sri-gaura-mandala-majhe bhuvana-mangala [1]
Glory, glory to the grand arati of Sri Giriraj Govardhan that takes
place in Sri Gaura Mandal, blessing the entire world.
koladvipe sobhe gupta-govardhana-rupa
vyakta haila sri-govinda-kunda aparupa [2]
He exists beautifully in Koladwip as Hidden Govardhan, and Sri Govinda Kunda
has now manifested itself there in a miraculous way.
malati-madhavi-kunja kandare kandare
nigudha-nikunja-lila hari-manohare [3]
There are confidential forest pastimes enacted in the solitary corners of His
malati and madhavi groves and caves. These pastimes captivate
the Lord’s mind.
apurva kundera sobha yena sudha-bhanda
surendra-surabhi-seva-saubhagya-martanda [4]
The incomparable beauty of Govinda Kunda is like a repository of pure nectar,
illuminated by the sun rays of King Indra’s and the heavenly cow Surabhi’s
immense service fortune.
sri-bhakti-raksaka deva-gosvami sridhara
prakasila tava seva dipta manohara [5]
Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj has manifested this
effulgent, enchanting service to You.
sri chaitanya-sarasvata matha susobhana
yatha nitya seva kare sarasvata-gana [6]
Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math is a very beautiful place where followers of
Srila Prabhupad Saraswati Thakur’s line serve eternally.
gosvami sri-raghunatha dasere smariya
nirantara seva kare antarmana haiya [7]
Remembering Sri Raghunath Das Goswami, they become withdrawn and constantly
engage themselves in service.
jaya gupta-govardhana divya-rasalaya
rupa-raghunathanuga-bhaktera asraya [8]
Glory to Hidden Govardhan, an abode of transcendental ecstasy and the refuge
of Sri Rupa-Raghunath’s exclusive, chaste devotees.
kuliya-prakasa tava achintya-mahima
divanisi bhakta-vrnda kare parikrama [9]
Now that Your inconceivable glories are revealed in the town of Kulia,
devotees circumambulate You day and night.
sevya o sevaka-rupe nitya parakasa
sanande arati dekhe e adhama dasa [10]
You are eternally manifest as an object of service and as a servitor. This
worthless servant beholds Your arati with great joy.
