Nadiya Nagare Gora Carita Amrta lyrics

nadīyā-nagare gorā-carita amṛta piyā śoka bhoya chāḍo sthira koro cita

nadiya-nagare gora-carita amrta piya soka bhoya chado sthira koro cita

नदीयानगरे गोराचरित अमृत पिया शोक भोय छाडो स्थिर कोरो चित

The activities and behavior of Lord Gaurasundara within the villages around Nadia District are just like sweet ambrosial nectar. By drinking this nectar, just give up all of your material lamentations and fears, and make your heart become thus fixed up.

anitya soṁsāra bhāi kṛṣṇa mātra sāra gorā-śikhā mate kṛṣṇa bhaja anibāra

anitya somsara bhai krsna matra sara gora-sikha mate krsna bhaja anibara

अनित्य सोंसार भाइ कृष्ण मात्र सार गोराशिखा मते कृष्ण भज अनिबार

Within this temporary material world, my friends, the only substantial essence of Absolute truth is Lord Krsna. Therefore, kindly take heed of Lord Caitanya's advice, and just worship Krsna constantly.

gorāra caraṇa dhori' jei bhāgyabān braje rādhā-kṛṣṇa bhaje sei mora prāṇa

gorara carana dhori' jei bhagyaban braje radha-krsna bhaje sei mora prana

गोरार चरण धोरिऽ जेइ भाग्यबान ब्रजे राधाकृष्ण भजे सेइ मोर प्राण

Whoever understands this and thereby firmly grabs hold of Lord Caitanya's lotus feet is most fortunate. And if he worships Sri Sri Radha-Krsna in Vrndavana, then I will accept him as my very life soul.

rādhā-kṛṣṇa gorācanda na'de bṛndābana ei mātra koro sāra pā'be nitya dhana

radha-krsna goracanda na'de brndabana ei matra koro sara pa'be nitya dhana

राधाकृष्ण गोराचन्द नऽदे बृन्दाबन एइ मात्र कोरो सार पाऽबे नित्य धन

Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha-Krsna are none other than the selfsame Lord Gauracandra, and Sri Navadvipa-dhama is that very same Vrndavana-dhama. If you consider this as the only essential point, then you will rightfully receive some eternal treasures.

bidyā-buddhi hīna dīna akiñcana chāra karma-jñāna-śūnya āmi śūnya-sad-ācāra

bidya-buddhi hina dina akincana chara karma-jnana-sunya ami sunya-sad-acara

बिद्याबुद्धि हीन दीन अकिञ्चन छार कर्मज्ञानशून्य आमि शून्यसदाचार

Actually I am completely devoid of any real knowledge or good intelligence. Indeed, I am most lowly, insignificant and contemptible. I am also certainly without the slightest trace of good karma or philosophical understanding, and I am completely bereft of any proper virtuous behavior.

śrī-guru baiṣṇaba more dilena upādhi bhakti-hīne upādhi hoilo ebe byādhi

sri-guru baisnaba more dilena upadhi bhakti-hine upadhi hoilo ebe byadhi

श्रीगुरु बैष्णब मोरे दिलेन उपाधि भक्तिहीने उपाधि होइलो एबे ब्याधि

All the assembled Vaisnavas, who I consider to be just like my spiritual master, have given me this title of Bhaktivinoda, but because I am actually totally devoid of any trace of devotion, this title has simply become like a painful disease for me.

jatana koriyā sei byadhi nibaraṇe śaraṇa loinu āmi baiṣṇaba-caraṇe

jatana koriya sei byadhi nibarane sarana loinu ami baisnaba-carane

जतन कोरिया सेइ ब्यधि निबरणे शरण लोइनु आमि बैष्णबचरणे

Taking great care to check the spreading of this disease, I have taken refuge at the lotus feet of all the Vaisnavas.

baiṣṇabera pada-raja mastake dhoriyā e śoka-satana gāya bhaktibinodiyā

baisnabera pada-raja mastake dhoriya e soka-satana gaya bhaktibinodiya

बैष्णबेर पदरज मस्तके धोरिया ए शोकसतन गाय भक्तिबिनोदिया

Taking the dust of the lotus feet of all the Vaisnavas upon my head, this lowly Bhaktivinoda thus sings this story called soka-satana, (The Dispelling of Grief).*
