Jaya Jaya Śrī Guru

Śrīla Vaiṣṇava dāsa

(1) jaya jaya çré guru, prema kalapa taru adbhuta yäko prakäça hiyä ageyäna, timira vara jïäna sucandra kiraëe koru näça

All glories, all glories to çré guru, the desire-tree of prema, whose manifestation is most astonishing. With effulgent moonbeams of knowledge, he destroys the vast darkness of ignorance in the heart.

(2) iha locana änanda dhäma ayäcita eheno patita heri yo pahuì yäci deyalo harinäma

His eyes are the abode of bliss. Seeing a person as fallen as me, this personality voluntarily gave me hari-näma, even without my asking.

(3) duramati agati, satata asate mati, nähi sukåti lava leça çré våndävana, yugala-bhajana-dhana, tähe karalo upadeça

I am wicked and helpless, and my mind is constantly absorbed in mundane matters; I do not possess even one iota of devotional merit. Yet he still instructs me about Çré Våndävana and the treasure of bhajana of the Divine Couple.

(4) niramala-gaura-prema-rasa siïcane, püralo jaga-jana äça so caraëämbuje, rati nähi hoyala, royata vaiñëava däsa

Showering the world with the pure nectar of gaura-prema, çré guru fulfills everyone’s hopes. Having not developed rati for his lotus feet, this Vaiñëava däsa weeps.
