2) Sri Nama
(from Gitavali)
1
gay gora madhur sware
hare krsna hare krsna krsna krsna hare hare
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare
2
grhe thako, vane thako, sada 'hari' bole' dako,
sukhe duhkhe bhulo na'ko, vadane hari-nam koro re
3
maya-jale baddha ho'ye, acho miche Kaja lo'ye,
ekhona cetana pe'ye, 'radha-madhav' nam bolo re
4
jivana hoilo sesa, na bhajile hrsikesa
bhaktivinodopadesa, ekbar nam-rase mato re
TRANSLATION
1) Lord
Gaurasundara sings in a very sweet voice, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna,
Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
2) Whether you are a householder or a
sannyasi, constantly chant "Hari! Hari!" Do not forget this chanting,
whether you are in a happy condition or a distressful one. Just fill your lips
with the hari-nama.
3) You are bound up in the network of Maya
and are forced to toil fruitlessly. Now you have obtained full consciousness in
the human form of life, so chant the names of Radha-Madhava.
4) Your life may end at any moment, and
you have not served the Lord of the senses, Hrsikesa. Take this advice of
Bhaktivinoda Thakura: "Just once, relish the nectar of the holy
name!"
