Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Dedication of the Self -8 songs- Second Principle of Surrender: Ätma-Nivedana Dedication of the Self - Eight Songs - Song 1 Song 1 (1) nä koroluì karama, geyäna nähi bhelo, nä sevilun caraëa tohär jaòa-sukhe mätiyä, äpanaku vaïca-i, pekhahuì caudiça ändhiyär 1) I have not performed any good works. I have not amassed any transcendental knowledge. I have never worshiped Your feet. Being intoxicated by sensual pleasures, I have simply cheated myself. Now I see only darkness in all directions.* (2) tuhuì nätha! karunä-nidän tuwä pada-paìkaje, ätma samarpiluì, more kåpä korobi vidhän 2) You, O Lord, are the fountainhead of all mercy. I surrender myself at Your lotus feet; kindly show me Your compassion. (3) pratijïä tohära oi, jo hi çaraëägata, nähi so jänabo paramäd so häma duñkåti, gati nä hera-i äna, äb mägoì tuwä parasäd 3) It is Your promise that one who takes refuge in You will come to no harm. For a sinner like me I see no other shelter; therefore I beg You now for Your grace. (4) äna mano-ratha, niùçeña choòato, kab häma haubuì tohärä nitya-sevya tuhuì, nitya-sevaka mui, bhakativinoda bhäva särä 4) O when will I know freedom from incessant material desires and thus become exclusively Yours? This is the sum of Bhaktivinoda's musings-You are eternally to be served, and I am Your eternal servant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
