Gurudeva Kabe Tava Karuna

Bhajana Lalasa Song 13

1

gurudev! kabe
tava karunā-prakāśe śrī-gaurāṅga-līlā, hoya nitya-tattwa, ei
dṛḍha viśvāse `hari
hari' boli', godruma-kānane, bhromibo
darśana-āśe

Gurudeva! O spiritual master! Lord Gauranga's transcendental pastimes are eternal realities. I wait for the day when, with this firm faith manifested by your mercy, I will wander through the groves of Godruma, chanting "Hari! Hari!" and hoping to behold those pastimes.

2

nitāi,
gaurāṅga, adwaita, śrīvāsa, gadādhara,--pañca-jana kṛṣṇa-nāma-rase, bhāsā'be jagat, kori'
mahā-saṅkīrtana

The Panca-tattva (Nitai, Gauranga, Advaita, Srivasa and Gadadhara) will flood the entire universe with the intoxicating nectar of the holy name of Sri Krsna by performing a maha-sankirtana.

3

nartana-vilāsa, mṛdaṅga-vādana, śunibo
āpana-kāne dekhiyā
dekhiyā, se līlā-mādhurī, bhāsibo
premera bāne

In my ears I will hear the sounds of dancing and the playing of the mrdangas. By constantly beholding the sweetness and beauty of that pastime of Lord Gauranga's, I will swim in the flood tide of divine love.

4

nā
dekhi' ābāra, se līlā-ratana, kāṅdi
hā gaurāṅga! boli' āmāre
viṣayī, pāgala boliyā, aṅgete
dibeka dhūli

Materialists will throw dirt at my body and proclaim me thoroughly mad. For being again bereft of seeing the jewel of that pastime, I shall weep and cry out, "O my Lord Gauranga!"
