Cmp 36. Pleasure In Glorifying Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU

The Supreme Lord takes,
From His surrendered servants,
Glorification of all kinds,
Out of love for His devotees.

One worshiping Lord Vishnu,
Ignoring the same Lord Vishnu
Staying in the hearts of others
His worship becomes useless.

It sounds like touching
Devotee's feet with one hand,
At the same time, beating
His head with the other hand.

To criticize a Vaishnava is
More sinful, hundred times,
Than offending a lesser being
Ordinarily that is existing.

He who commits offense
Or tortures lesser beings
His worshiping Lord Vishnu is
Simply a waste and useless.

Chaitanya told everyone,
"Let the Kirtana begin,
As the Vyasa-puja is o'er,
Devotees took his order.

Lord Krishna's holy name
They chanted at that time,
While singing and dancing
Rolling and catching.

At the Lord's personal call,
Prasadam was given to all
With His own hands freely,
Treating them as one family.

Advaita Acharya wanted
This fact to be informed
To the whole world
That Chaitanya was the Lord.

He washed His lotus feet,
Applied sandalwood paste,
Scented oil, and flowers
In front of all the devotees.

He prayed to the Lord,
"When you give love of God
Give it also to women, fallen
Poor and ignorant persons."

Appreciating his sentiments
The Lord said in merriment
"All that you've said is good.
Let this be known to the world."
