Ajna-Tahal

The Lord's Order to Process Around Town and Chant

nadiya-godrume nityananda mahajana

patiyache nam-hatta jivera karana

In the land of Nadiya, on the island of Godruma, the magnanimous Lord Nityananda has opened up the Marketplace of the Holy Name, meant for the deliverance of all fallen souls.

(Sraddhavan jan he, Sraddhavan jan he)

prabhura ajnay, bhai, magi ei bhiksa

bolo `krishna,' bhajo krishna, koro krishna-Siksa

O men of faith! O men of faith! By the order of Lord Gauranga, O brothers, I beg this one request: Chant "Krishna!", worship Krishna, and follow Krishna's instructions.

 

 

(3)

 

aparadha-Sunya ho'ye loho krishna-nam

krishna mata, krishna pita, krishna dhana-pran

Being careful to remain free of offenses, just take the holy name of Krishna. Krishna is your mother, Krishna is your father, and Krishna is the treasure of your life.

 

 

(4)

 

krishnaera samsara koro chadi' anacar

jive doya, krishna-nam-sarva-dharma-sar

 

Giving up all improper behavior, carry on your worldly duties only in relation to Krishna. The showing of compassion to all fallen souls by loudly chanting the holy name of Krishna is the essence of all forms of religion.
