‘Nitai Ki Naam Eneche Re’ from Gitavali, a book written by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura
LYRICS:
(refrain)
hare kṛṣṇa hare
Hare Krsna Hare!
(1)
nitāi ki nām eneche re
(nitāi) nām eneche, nāmer hāṭe,
śraddhā-mūlye nām diteche re
Oh, what a wonderful name Lord Nityananda has brought! Nitai has brought the divine name to the Marketplace of the Holy Name, and He is giving away that name for the mere price of your faith! Oh!
(2)
hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare re
hare rāma hare rāma rāma rāma hare hare re
Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare Oh! Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare Oh!
(3)
(nitāi) jīvera daśā, malina dekhe’,
nām eneche braja theke re
e nām śiva jape pañca-mukhe re
(madhur e harinām)
e nām brahmā jape catur-mukhe re
(madhur e harinām)
e nām nārada jape vīnā-yantre re
(madhur e harinām)
e nāmābase ajāmila vaikuṇṭhe gelo re
e nām bolte bolte braje calo re
(bhaktivinoda bole)
Oh! Seeing the miserable condition of the fallen souls of this world, Nitai has personally brought the holy name from the transcendental realm of Vraja! Oh! Lord Siva chants this holy name with his five mouths! (This holy name is so sweet!) Oh! Lord Brahma chants this holy name with his four mouths! (This holy name is so sweet!) Oh! Narada Muni chants this holy name while playing on his vina! (This holy name is so sweet!) Oh! Just by the dim reflection of this holy name, the sinful Ajamila went to Vaikuntha! "Oh! While continuously chanting this holy name, go at once to the divine realm of Vraja! This holy name is so sweet!" (Bhaktivinoda therefore says.)
NAVADVIPA MANDAL PARIKRAMA
Today, Lord Krishna is worshipped all across the globe by the spiritual process of chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. But, do you know the origin of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra? Who began its propagation? and how it was propagated?
We come to learn from various authentic sources, Lord Krishna personally made His advent over 500 years ago in a golden complexion to inaugurate this process of congregational chanting as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, in Mayapur, located in Navadvipa, West Bengal.
Sri Navadvipa consists of 9 Islands namely: Antardvipa Simantadvipa Godrumadvipa Madhyadvipa Koladvipa Rtudvipa Jahnudvipa Modadrumadvipa Rudradvipa. Each of these 9 Islands has a high spiritual significance and is imbibed with transcendental qualities. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu used to frequently visit these islands with His associates and encourage the congregational chanting of the holy names of Lord Krishna. Every year, devotees take pleasure in traversing these islands, visiting various temples along the banks of river Ganga and reminiscing the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya. Particularly during the period of Gaura Purnima, the divine appearance day of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
ISKCON Bangalore presents the Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama, an online tour of the pristine locations of Sri Gaura Mandala, where the Supreme Lord and His devotees enacted their pastimes. In this Virtual Parikrama, one can witness the spectacular landscape of Sri Navadvipa Dham, beautiful deities of the Supreme Lord, take part in heart-touching bhajans, and listen to the most unique and confidential pastimes of the Supreme Lord.
