Re: Lord Nityaananda and His Name are non-different and all powerful

Dear devotees,

       Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! This is a truly wonderful poem on Lord Nityaananda and I realise how much it applies to me. It makes me feel really ashamed of myself and truly proud of having a Lord like Nitaai. Jay Nitaai Gaura!

    The merciful lord Nityananda
a Gaudiya poet named Krishna das
(Śrī-raga)

adosha daraśi mora prabhu nityananda
na bhajinu hena prabhura caranaravinda

My lord Nityananda doesn�t see anyone�s
faults, yet i didn�t worship his lotus feet!

haya re na jani mui kemana asura
pasha na bhajinu hena dayara thakura

Alas, i did not know! What a demon i was!
i did not achieve the worship of Nityananda
Prabhu, the personification of mercy!

haya re abhagara prana ki sukhe achaha
nitai baliya kena mariya na yaha

O my unfortunate heart, will you ever be-
come happy? Why don�t you call out, "nitai!",
and die?

nitaira karuna śuni pasana milaya
haya re daruna hiya na darabe taya

When they hear of lord nitai�s mercy, even
the stones melt. O my cruel heart, you do not
melt when you hear his glories!

nitai chaitanya aparadha nahi mane
yare tare nija prema-bhakti kare dane

Nitai and Chaitanya don�t take offense, yet
give the gift of ecstatic love.

tara nama laite na gale mora hiya
krishna-dasa kahe mui bada abhagiya

Alas! the lord�s holy name does not reside
in my throat or in my heart! Krishna das says,
"i am very unfortunate!"

Your servant,
Srinath
