Cmp 60. All Glories To Lord Chaitanya Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU

The life story of Lord Chaitanya
And that of Lord Nityananda
Is inseparable, intertwined,
From the beginning to the end.

They both moved together,
Enjoyed their lives together,
And developed Krishna consciousness,
In the minds of all the devotees

They met often at secluded places,
Amidst a grove of trees,
Or in the shadow of gardens,
And discussed confidential matters.

At Nilachala, Lord Chaitanya,
NityanandaPrabhu, Gadadhara
Were always remaining together
And performed sankirtan together.

As Rathayatra day approached,
Many great devotees arrived,
At Jagannath Puri to witness
The grand show, the one matchless.

Led by His devotees, Lord Chaitanya,
Went to the Temple of Jagannatha,
And after offering obeisance,
They returned to their residences.

The Vedic etiquette requires
Even a father must offer
Obeisance to his sanyasi son,
This is the convention.

The Lord broke this convention.
He offered His submission
To the Vaishnavas, whomsoever,
Despite His renounced order.

He always said, "I'm the servant
Of Lord Krishna, not more than that, "
And He maintained this tradition
As the Lord's humble servant.

It's difficult to contain,
In a few pages, a big ocean,
The life story of Lord Chaitanya
And that of Lord Nityananda.

Yet, this writer has tried his best
To bring out the essential parts
What they had played in their roles
To promote Krishna consciousness.

"Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare!
Hare Rama, Hare Rama,
Rama Rama, Hare Hare! "

(This is not the end, but the beginning
Of a new era in the spiritual path.)
