Ek Din Santipure

Prasad-Sevaya Song 2

1

bhāi-re! eka-dina śāntipure, prabhu adwaitera ghare,
dui prabhu bhojane bosilo śāk kori' āswādana,
prabhu bole bhakta-gaṇa, ei śāk kṛṣṇa āswādilo

O brothers! One day at Sri Advaita's house in santipura, the two Lords-Caitanya and Nityananda-were seated for lunch. Lord Caitanya tasted the green leafy vegetable preparation and addressed the assembly of His devotees, "This sak is so delicious! Lord Krsna has definitely tasted it.

2

heno
śāk-āswādane, kṛṣṇa-prema aise mane, sei preme koro āswādana jaḍa-buddhi parihari', prasād bhojana kori', `hari hari' bolo sarva jan

"At the taste of sak like this, love of Krsna arises in the heart. In such love you should taste these remnants. Giving up all materialistic conceptions and taking the Lord's prasad, all of you just chant `Hari! Hari!'"
