Cmp 25a. Nimai Returned To Navadvipa Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

CHAITANYA MAHAPLRABHU

The East Bengal residents
Gave Nimai valuable gifts.
Before returning to Navadvipa,
He met Pundit Tapana Mishra.

The Pundit was well versed
In Shastras, but was in need
Of knowledge that would
Take him to the goal at the end.

This question when he asked,
In short, Nimai replied,
"Worshiping Lord Krishna
Is the best in this Kaliyuga."

"He comes in four Yugas
To establish religious
Practices for each Yuga,
As Krishna in Dvapara-Yuga."

"One should constantly chant
Lord's name that is meant
For this Kali-Yuga period,
No severe penance is needed."

"The Hare Krishna Mantra
Is the greatest of all Mantras,
It's a prayer for deliverance
I'll reveal it for your guidance."

"HARE KRISHNA, HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA, HARE HARE!
HARE RAMA, HARE RAMA,
RAMA RAMA, HARE HARE! "

"When you constantly chant this
Your love for God with ease
Will touch your very heart
To reach the ultimate goal post."

When Tapana Mishra said
He would accompany the Lord,
He was asked to go to Benaras,
Where he would see many things.

Thereafter Nimai returned
In Navadvipa he arrived.
He was well received
There by a huge crowd.

What all he had brought,
He placed at mother's feet,
Who shed tears for him,
With all the love for him.
