    The lotus feet of Lord Nityananda are a shelter where one will get the soothing moonlight not only of one, but of millions of moons. If the world wants to have real peace, it should take shelter of Lord Nityananda. Unless one takes shelter under the shade of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, it will be very difficult for him to approach Radha-Krsna. If one actually wants to enter into the dancing party of Radha-Krsna, he must firmly catch hold of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.

About this song

Narottama Dasa Thakura’s song of taking shelter of Nityananda’s lotus feet, from Prarthana. A standard Gaudiya kirtan when the hall turns to Nitai-Gaura. Not tied to one clock time.
