Bhaja Hure Mana - Jaya Lakshmi

Bhajahu re mana sri-nanda-nandana-abhaya-caranaravinda re

Durlabha manava-janama sat-sange taroho e bhava-sindhu re

O mind, just worship the lotus feet of the son of nanda, which make one

fearless.

having obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of

wordly existence through the association of saintly persons.

Sita atapa bata barisana e dina jamini jagi re

Biphale sevinu krpana durajana capala sukha-laba lagi' re

My dear brother, i request that you just worship lord caitanya and nityananda

with firm conviction and faith.

if one wants to be krishna-conscious by this

process, one has to give up his engagement in sense gratification.

one simply has to chant, «hare krishna!

hari hari!»

without any motive.

E dhana, yaubana, putra, parijana ithe ki ache paratiti re

Kamala-dala-jala, jivana talamala bhajahu hari pada niti re

What assurance of real happiness is there in all of one’s wealth, youthfulness,

sons, and family members?

this life is tottering like a drop of water on a

lotus petal;

therefore you should always serve and worship the divine feet of

lord hari.

Sravana, kirtana, smarana, vandana, pada sevana, dasya re

Pujana, sakhi-jana, atma-nivedana govinda-dasa-abhilasa re

It is the desire and great longing of govinda dasa to engage himself in the

nine processes of bhakti, namely hearing the glories of lord hari and chanting

those glories, constantly remembering him and offering prayers to him,

serving the lord’s lotus feet, serving the supreme lord as a servant,

worshiping him with flowers and incense and so forth, serving him as a friend,

and completely offering the lord one’s very self.
