SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SPECIAL POETRY
Rik Tatparyam (Meaning of Rig Veda Mantra)
(By Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj)
tat visnoh paramam padam sruti-matam muhyanti yat surayah
drasta chaksur iva prasarita-maha-suryeva divya-tatam
dhamna svena sada nirasta-kuhakam satyam param sabditam
jyotih priti-tanum hiranya-purusam pasyanti tam surayah
The holy lotus feet of the Supreme Lord are above everything. The gist of the
Mother of all revealed scriptures (gayatri mantra) bewilders even gods
and great scholars. To the eyes that have vision, this divine truth is
evident like a great shining sun. In that abode, which is illumined by the
ray of its own knowledge, there is never any possibility of deception or
misunderstanding. Only by the mercy of the Golden Lord (whose figure is made
of love and effulgence – heart and halo) is it possible for gods and scholars
to realise and see it.
