Āra Kenô Māyā-jāle 

Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Thākura

āra kenô māyā-jāle pôḓitechô, jīva-mīna 
nāhi jānô baddha ha’ye ra’be tumi cira-dina (1)

Hvorfor stuper du inn i māyās nett, å fiskelignende jīva? Du innser ikke at du vil forbli fanget til evig tid. 

ati tuccha bhoga-āśe, bandī ha’ye māyā-pāśe
rahile vikṛta-bhāve daṇḍya ĵathā parādhīn
a (2) 

Fengslet i māyās nett på grunn av ditt ønske om helt ubetydelige gleder, forblir du i en skadet tilstand, og straffes som en undertrykt tjener.

ekhôna bhakati-bale, kṛṣṇa-prema-sindhu-jale
krīḓā kôri’ anāyāse thākô tumi kṛṣṇādhīn
a (3) 

Vær nå underdanig under Kṛṣṇa, og med bhaktis styrke, beveg deg fritt i vannet i havet av kṛṣṇa-prema.

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura was, in his time, the first person to preach the factual philosophy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to this learned society. By his preaching, people came to know about true transcendental love, prema-bhakti, and it is for this reason that he was given the title Seventh Gosvami.

Just as King Bhagiratha brought the Ganges River to the Earth, to India, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura brought the bhakti-ganga (the flowing Ganges River of bhakti) to this world. Because of him, so many people became inspired to follow pure Gaudiya Vaisnavism. If he had not appeared, we would not have joined this mission. If Srila Bhaktivedanta Svami Maharaja had not come to the West – if he had not gone to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura and if Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura had not come from Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, what would have been your fate? Your good fortune is coming from Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, who preached the very pure doctrines of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
