Śrī Nityanāndacandrasya – Of the Moonlike Nityananda

[ By An Unknown Medieval Gaudiya Vaisnava ]

It is better that I die. I did not worship Nitai. Alas! Alas! I am worthless! My intelligence was spoiled! I had a priceless treasure in my hand, and then I lost it.

In the moon of His face glisten eyes that defeat lotus flowers, eyes that mercifully gaze at every living being. Spreading his arms, and calling out, “Please come! He hugs the fallen souls. To everyone He gives the treasure of ecstatic spiritual love

A garment is gracefully wrapped about His waist. His glistening hair is curly. He wears a turban that charms the heart. He walks like a graceful dancer. Tears stream down His chest. He removes the three-fold sufferings the conditioned souls feel.

He calls out, “Hari! Haribol!” His body sways to the right and left. His arms rest on the shoulders of Ramai and Gauridas. His moonlike face is overflowing with pure sweet honey. Nitai has set a trap of ecstatic love. He is tossed to and fro by the rising waves of ecstatic love.

Nitai is an ocean of mercy. He is the friend of everyone. He has plunged the whole universe into the ocean of his mercy. Only persons blinded by lust, those who are tightly bound by the ropes of material desires, will not worship Nitai.

The Path to Attaining the Mercy of Lord Nityananda / Путь обретения милости Господа Нитьянанды

, , ,

“Нитьянанду Прабху могли оскорбить, однако Он приблизился к Джагаю и Мадхаю и, конечно же, освободил их. Мир полон джагаями и мадхаями – пьяницами, охотниками за женщинами, мясоедами и картежниками – и мы должны будем приближаться к ним, рискуя быть в награду оскорбленными, побитыми или еще что-нибудь эдакое. Сталкиваться с такими превратностями жизни и терпеть результаты действий считается величайшей аскезой и епитимьей в деле духовного продвижения общества”.

[ письмо Шрилы Прабхупады от 27 января 1970 ]

 

“Nityananda Prabhu approached Jagai and Madhai at the risk of being personally injured and still He definitely delivered them. The world is full of Jagai’s and Madhai’s; namely drunkards, women-hunters, meat eaters, and gamblers, and we will have to approach them at the risk of insult, injury, and similar other rewards. To face such reverse conditions of life and to suffer thereby the results of actions is considered as the greatest penance and austerity in the matter of spiritual advancement of life.”
[ Srila Prabhupada letter, January 27, 1970 ]

Боевой клич

, , , ,

“Львы, рыча, ворвались в Навадвипу”, – слыша санкиртану
Вайшнавов, поющих имена Хари, посчитали те, кто сбиты с толку.

Гаурачандра махаратха, саратхи* Нитьянанда и Адвайта приступают к битве.
Захватывая премой**, отлавливая недругов, вяжут их с боевым кличем Хари-намы.

Сражаясь на слоне, царь среди всех героев Шри Чайтанья крушит на части множество грехов.
Освободить все души из темницы Кали придя на эту землю, пленяет в четырех направленьях всех.

И уттам, и адхам*** захватывает драгоценность премы из-за крупицы милости Нитая и Чайтаньи.
Но Кришна дас несчастен, говорит: “Господь покорил врагов – а я не получил сокровище любви”.

[ Кришна дас, современник Господа Чайтаньи. Поется на рагу Рамакели ]

* великие воины

На бенгали:
navadvipe suni simha nada
sajala vaisnava kari hari sankirtana
mudha mati ganila pramada
gauracandra maharathi nityananda sarathi
advaita yuddhe agu yana
prema dore phamsa kari bandhila aneka ari
nirantara garje hari nama
sri caitanya kare rana keli gaje arohana
pasanda dalana bira rana
kali jiba tara ite a ila prabhu abanite
caudike capiya dila thana
uttama adhama jana sabe pa ila prema dhana
nitai caitanya krpa lese
sammukhe samana dekhi krsna dasa bada dukhi
na paiya premera uddese

Hearing the Vaisnavas loudly chanting Lord Hari’s holy names in sankirtana, the people think a host of roaring lions have come to Navadvipa. “The great maharathi warrior Lord Gauracandra and the great sarathi warriors Lord Nityananda and Lord Advaita now charge into battle. Throwing the noose of ecstatic spiritual love, They capture many enemy soldiers…
