cheto-darpana-marjanam bhava-maha--davagni-nirvapanam
Glory to the Sri-Krsna-Sankirtana, which cleanses the heart of all the dust
accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of
repeated birth and death. This sankirtana movement is the prime
benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the
benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It
increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste
the nectar for which we are always anxious.

O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living
beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names, like Krsna and
Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your
transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for
chanting these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily
approach You by Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no
attraction for them.

trinad api sunichena
One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind,
thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more
tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be
ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant
the holy name of the Lord constantly.

na dhanam na janam na sundarim
O almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor do I desire
beautiful women nor do I want any number of followers. I only want Your
causeless devotional service, birth after birth.

ayi nanda-tanuja kinkaram
O son of Maharaja Nanda (Krsna), I am Your eternal servitor, yet
somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Please
pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms at
Your lotus feet.
patitam mam vishame bhavambudhau kripaya tava pada-pankaja sthita- dhuli-sadrisham vichintaya |
nayanam galad-ashru-dharaya
O my Lord, when will my eyes be decorated with tears of love flowing
constantly when I chant Your holy name? When will my voice choke up,
and when will the hairs of my body stand on end at the recitation of Your
name?
vadanam gadgada-ruddhaya gira pulakair nichitam vapuh kada tava nama-grahane bhavishyati |
yugayitam nimeshena
O Govinda! Feeling Your separations I am considering a moment to be
like twelve years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of
rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence.
chakshusha pravrishayitam shunyayitam jagat sarvam govinda-virahena me |
ashlishya va pada-ratam pinashtu mam
I know no one but Krsna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He
handles me roughly by His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not
being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and
everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord, unconditionally.
