SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : INTRODUCTION

Daily Kirtan Guidelines

* Everyone is advised to chant five kirtans every morning and evening: guru-vandana, Vaishnav-vandana, Nityananda Prabhu vandana, Mahaprabhu vandana and saranagati kirtan or Radha-Krishna vandana. Presented above is the full temple programme followed at Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math (Nityananda Prabhu vandana, Mahaprabhu vandana and saranagati kirtan or Radha-Krishna vandana may vary; the rest is fixed).
* Each time before honouring prasad, ‘Maha-prasade govinde’ and ‘Sarira avidya-jala’ are recited.
* After Jaya Dhvani at the end of Tulasi parikrama, the following prayers are recited when offering obeisances:

vrndayai tulasi-devyai priyayai kesavasya cha
krsna-bhakti-prade devi satyavatyai namo namah

I offer my obeisances to Vrinda Devi, who is very dear to Lord Kesav, who bestows devotion to Krishna and is known as Satyavati.

vanchha-kalpatarubhyas cha krpa-sindhubhya eva cha
patitanam pavanebhyo vaisnavebhyo namo namah

I offer my obeisances to the Supreme Lord’s devotees, who are saviours of the fallen, oceans of mercy and wish-fulfilling trees.

sakala vaisnava-charane mora koti namaskara
ithe na hauk amara kichhu aparadha

I offer my obeisances at the holy feet of all Vaisnavs and pray that I may not commit any offence to them.

haiyachhena haibena yata prabhura bhakta-jana
ami vandana kari sabara charana

I offer my obeisances at the holy feet of all Lord's devotees who appeared in the past and will appear in the future.
