If you want your heart to be absorbed in drinking the ambrosial mellows of

the lotus feet of Lord Hari, then give up household life, which is full of

quarrel and strife, and just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma's

forest bowers.

 

2.

 

Material riches, youth, long duration of life and royal happiness + none of

these are eternal. At any moment they may be destroyed. Give up useless

topics of mundane conversation and just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of

Godruma's forest bowers.

 

3.

 

Oh friend, ultimately the pleasure to be had in the company of beautiful

young women turns to fearfulness and distracts one from the real goal of

life. Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma's forest bowers, with

your mind intoxicated by the nectarean mellows of the holy name.

 

4.

 

Krsna, the transcendental paramour, stands on the bank of the Yamuna with

Radha, the daughter of Vrsabhanu, on His left side. He is absorbed in the

pastime of playing soft, melodious songs on His flute. Just worship Lord

Gaura, the moon of Godruma's forest bowers, Lord Caitanya, Who is

non-different from the son of Nanda.

 

5.

 

He is Lord Hari, shining like molten gold and surrounded by His loving

devotees in the midst of hari-kirtana. He is the ocean of mercy for the

Gaudiya vaisnavas. Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma's forest

bowers.

 

6.

 

Remaining devoted to the service of the vaisnavas, being addicted to

drinking the sweet nectar of the holy name of Hari, and with a mentality

endowed with modesty, humility, and compassion just worship Lord Gaura, the

moon of Godruma's forest bowers.

 

7.

 

Always worship Lord Gaura, the beautiful moon of Godruma's forest bowers,

and call out the Lord O Yadava! O Madhava! O Hari! O Rama! O Janardana! O

Kesava! O beloved Lord of Radha!

 

8.

 

Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma's forest bowers, and call out

the Lord O Lord of Vrndavan forest, which lies along the banks of the

Yamuna! O Lord of Govardhana Hill! O sun of the forest groves of Gokula! O

giver of life to the rasa dance! O Gaurahari!

 

9.

 

Go to Navadvipa, the land of Lord Caitanya, and recite with great joy the

wonderful pastime of Lord Gaurahari. Roll about in ecstasy on the banks of

the Ganges, which are marked with the footprints of Lord Caitanya, and

worship this Lord Gaura, the beautiful moon of Godruma's forest bowers.

 

10.

 

Remember the wonderful pastimes of Gaura and Gadadhara. Become a servant of

Gaura and Gadadhara. Listen to the beautiful narrations concerning Gaura and

Gadadhara and worship Lord Gaura, the beautiful moon of Godruma's forest

bowers.
