The Sacred Order of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
The Sacred Order of
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
Ajna-Tahal
by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur
nadiya-godrume nityananda mahajana
patiyache nama-hatta jivera karana
(1) In the land of Nadiya, on the island of Godruma,
the magnanimous Lord Nityananda has opened up the
Marketplace of the Holy Name, meant for the deliverance
of all fallen souls.
(sraddhavan jan he, sraddhavan jan he)
prabhura ajnaya, bhai, magi ei bhiksha
bolo �krishna,� bhajo krishna, koro krishna-siksha
(2) O people of faith! O people of faith! By the order of
Lord Gauranga, O brothers, I beg these three requests of
you: Chant �Krishna!�, worship Krishna, and teach others
about Krishna.
aparadha-sunya ho�ye laha krishna-nama
krishna mata, krishna pita, krishna dhana-prana
(3) Being careful to remain free of offences, just take the
holy name of Lord Krishna. Krishna is your mother, Krishna is
your father, and Krishna is the treasure of your life.
krishnera samsara koro chadi� anachara
jive doya, krishna-nama�
sarvva-dharma-sara
(4) Giving up all sinful activities, carry on your worldly
duties only in relation to Lord Krishna. The showing of
compassion to other souls by loudly chanting the Holy
Name of Krishna is the essence of all forms of religion.
