Gauranga Karuna Koro

"Be Merciful Lord Gauranga"

by Narottam Das Thakur

1) gauränga karunä koro, déna héna jane

mo-samo patita prabhu, nähi tribhuvane

2) dante trna dhori’ gaura, däki he tomär

krpä kori’ eso ämär, hrdaya mandire

3) jadi doyä nä koribe, patita dekhiyä

patita pävana nama, kisera lägiyä

4) podeci bhava tuphäne, nähika nistär

sri carana tarani däne, däse koro pär

5) sri krsna caitanya prabhu, däser anudäs

prärthanä koraye sadä, narottama däs

1)     O my dear Lord Gauranga! Please show Your mercy to this lowly and destitute soul. O Lord! There is no one more fallen than myself in all the three worlds.

2)     Holding grass between my teeth, O Lord Gaura, I am calling out to You now! Please be compassionate upon me and come to reside within the temple of my heart.

3)     If You do not give Your mercy, seeing how fallen I am, then why are You known as Patita Pavana — the merciful saviour of the fallen?

4)     I am plunged amidst the violent hurricane-stricken waves in the ocean of this material world, from which there is no escape. Kindly give me the gift of Your divine lotus feet, which are compared to a boat in which Your servant may cross over the ocean of birth and death.

5)     Narottama däsa, the servant of the servant of sri krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, ceaselessly makes this prayer.

      "主啊,看到我如此堕落,如果你不给我仁慈,你又怎能被称为'Patita Pavana'——最仁慈的堕落者的拯救者"  

     这首歌是这次KARTIKA月的朝圣之旅中给我带来最深感触的一首歌, 也是在Sri Jagannath Puri Dhama 的朝圣中, 我们每天讲课前唱的一首歌. 现在每次在脑海中回响起此旋律, 心中仍旧触动不已, 好象又回到了大海边的Sri Jagannath Puri Dhama...
