Music: “Gurudeva” by Gaurangi devi dasi
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura (1838-1914): Gurudev Kripa Bindu Diya
kripa-bindu diya, koro’ ei dase,
trinapekha ati hina
sakala sahane, bala diya koro’,
nija-mane spriha-hina
Gurudeva, give to this servant just one drop of mercy. I am lower than a blade of grass. Give me all help. Give me strength. Let me be as you are, without desires or aspirations.
sakale sammana korite shakati,
deho’ natha! jathajatha
tabe to’ gaibo, hari-nama-sukhe,
aparadha ha ’be hata
I offer you all respects, for thus I may have the energy to know you correctly. Then, by chanting the holy name in great ecstasy, all my offenses will cease.
kabe heno kripa, labhiya e jana,
kritartha hoibe, natha!
shakti-buddhi-hina, ami ati dina,
koro’ more atma-satha
O Lord and Master! When will such mercy fall to this one who is weak and devoid of intelligence? Allow me to be with you.
jogyata-vicare, kichu nahi pai,
tomara karuna—sara
karuna na hoile, kandiya kandiya,
prana na rakhibo ara
If you examine me, you will find no qualities. Your mercy is all that I am made of. If you are not merciful unto me, I can only weep, and I will not be able to maintain my life.
Speak Your Mind
