SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SRI ARATI GITI
Sri Prasad Seva Songs
mahaprasade govinde nama-brahmani vaisnave
svalpa-punya-vatam rajan visvaso naiva jayate
‘O King, one whose fortune is meagre never develops strong faith in
mahaprasad, Govinda, the Holy Name or Vaishnavs.’
sarira avidya-jala, jadendriya tahe kala,
jive phele visaya-sagare
tara madhye jihva ati, lobha-maya sudurmati,
ta’ke jeta kathina samsare [1]
This body is a net of ignorance, and the material senses are the cause of its
ruin because they throw the soul into the ocean of material life. Among all
senses, the tongue is extremely greedy and wicked; it is very difficult to
conquer it in the material world.
krsna bada daya-maya, karibare jihva jaya,
svaprasad anna dila bhai
sei annamrta pao, radha-krsna guna gao,
preme daka chaitanya-nitai [2]
Brother, Lord Krishna is very merciful: to conquer the tongue, He has given
us His food remnants! Take this nectarean food, sing the glories of
Radha-Krishna and call out to Chaitanya and Nitai with love!
