Bhāi-re! Śarīra Avidyā-jāl
Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura
bhāi-re!
śarīra avidyā-jāla, jaḓendriya tāhe kāla,
jīve phele viṣaya-sāgare
tā’ra madhye jihvā ati, lobhamaya sudurmati,
tā’ke ĵetā kaṭhina saṁsāre (1)
Å brødre, den materielle kroppen er et nett av uvitenhet og dens inerte sanser er årsaken til dens ødeleggelse, for de kaster sjelen i havet av materiell nytelse. Blant sansene er tungen den mest grådige og onde; det er veldig vanskelig å erobre i denne verden.
kṛṣṇa baḓô dayāmaya, kôribāre jihvā jaya,
sva-prasād-anna dilā bhāi
sei annāmṛta pāo, rādhā-kṛṣṇa-guṇa gāo,
preme ḍākô caitanya-nitāi (2)
Kṛṣṇa er så barmhjertig at Han har gitt oss Sine egne matrester for å hjelpe oss å erobre tungen, å brødre. Hedre denne nektariske maten, syng Rādhās og Kṛṣṇas herligheter, og rop med prema: «Caitanya! Nitāi!”
Etter å ha sunget sangen overfor, syng dette verset:
preme bhare ḍākô re!
dayāla nitāi-caitanya bôle, preme bhare ḍākô re!
jaya nitāi jaya gaura jaya nitāi jaya gaura!
hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare
hare rāma hare rāma rāma rāma hare hare
nitāi gaura haribol haribol haribol haribol!
Deretter syng jaya-dhvani og hedre mahā-prasada.
Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura (1838-1914) is a prominent preceptor acharya in our succession of spiritual masters and disciples coming from Lord Krishna. He was a pioneering spiritual leader, a householder, a magistrate working in colonial India under the British rule, a prolific preacher, writer, and poet. He wrote volumes of books reintroducing the pure teachings of Lord Chaitanya at a time when those teachings had practically become lost. He composed hundreds of devotional songs glorifying Krishna to uplift the consciousness of the suffering people of this world. He corresponded with philosophers, theologians, leaders, scholars, and professors of his time and sent books, including The Life and Precepts of Lord Chaitanya, to university libraries in foreign countries, planting the seeds for a worldwide movement of Krishna consciousness.
