(Shri Chaitanya's only written written words)

 

We glorify Sr Krishna’s names in a congregation

The bliss and life of all knowledge rays of benediction

 

O Gvinda Your holy names are much over a million

Full of spiritual energy, there is no regulation

To chant and seize Your mercy but I have no attraction

 

Indeed is there a secret, is there a condition?

Yes indeed one has to possess endless toleration

And humble and meek always chant, no other solution

 

O Lord please let me henceforward serve You with devotion

I want no wealth, fame nor lover, sinful botherations

Birth after birth perpetually, I seek Your affection

 

I’m your eternal servitor in full desperation

Drowning in a whirpool of death, my wretched condition

So do pick me up,take me back home, give me your protection

 

Oh Lord when will my eyes be wet with tears of emotion

When will my voice choke and my hairs go straight in erection?

Such are the effects of Yours names upon their recitation

 

A single moment I can’t bear feeling Your separation

Being alone in a vacant world I beg Your association

My tears flow as torrents of rain, You absence is the reason

 

No one but Krishna is my Lord, with Him no competition

Completely free in every way, for Him no restriction

And He may kick of crush my soul, I remain His possession
