Re: NITAI MORA JIVANA

Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna!
Yes, indeed a very beautiful and instructive song as all of Thakura's compositions. It is also one of my favorites. It shows us how real bhakti is actually very deep and profound thing and flourishes within the mind and the hearth.
This is the most important temple where worship with devotion is to be performed. It cannot not be destroyed by anyone.
Jivana marana tava puja nivedana... In life or in death I will not abandon Your worship ... sundara he mana hari ... O Beautiful One, o Enchanter of the heart.
I am reminded of the glorious activities of Namacarya Srila Haridasa Thakura, whom although not allowed to enter the temple due to his being born in Muslim family, was constantly performing intense worship of the Lord by chanting the holy names, which he did not give up even while mercilessly beaten by the Nabob�s guards on 22 marketplaces. He was prepared to give up his life, but he did not cease to chant the Holy Names even for a moment.

All glories to Srila Haridasa Thakura, who by his intense devotion captured the divine lotus feet of Lord Chaitanya within his spotlessly pure heart!

Your servant: Sarvabhauma das
