Krsna Nama Rupa Guna Lila
krsna nama-rupa-guna-lila catustaya
guru-mukhe sunilei kirtana udaya
When Krsna's name, form, nature, and pastimes divine, are heard from Sri Gurudeva, one's heart awakes in song.
kirtita haile krame smarananga paya
kirtana smarana-kale krama-pathe dhaya
As pure chanting ensues, remembrance is attained; thus chanting and remembering, step-by-step ascent is gained.
jata-ruci-jana jihva mana milaiya
krsna-anuraga vraja-jananusmariya
Those engaging tongue and mind, who begin to relish nectar: adore Sri Krsna, following the residents of Vraja.
nirantara vraja-vasa manasa bhajana
ei upadesa-sara karaha grahana
Reside always in Vraja, within the heart's devotion Surely, you must accept this nectar of instruction."
