Keno Ar Koro Dvesa
Sreyo Nirnaya Song 5
keno
ār koro dveṣa, videśi-jana-bhajane bhajanera
liṅga nānā, nānā deśe nānā jane
Why do you continue to hate the way the Lord is worshiped by people of other lands? There exist a number of authentic ways to worship God, according to the customs of various peoples living in different countries.
keho
mukta-kacche bhaje, keho hāṭu gāḍi' pūje keho
vā nayana mudi' thāke brahma-ārādhāne
Some people worship the Lord in an untidy or careless manner; some worship Him by bending down on their knees; still others close their eyes while worshiping His impersonal Brahman aspect.
keho
yogāsane pūje, keho saṅkīrtane maje sakale
bhajiche sei eka-mātra kṛṣṇa-dhane
Some people worship Him by assuming various yoga postures, and some immerse themselves in the congregational chanting of the Lord's holy names; but all of them worship that one and only supreme treasure-Lord Sri Krsna.
ataeva
bhrātṛ-bhāve, thāko sabe su-sadbhāve hari-bhakti
sādho sadā, e jīvane vā maraṇe
Therefore you should all reflect a mood of brotherhood and live together in transcendental friendship. Always practice devotional service to Lord Hari, whether in situations of life or death.
