By Bhajahari das
The first of these two mini video clips shows a group of Spanish youths actually becoming totally overjoyed when encouraged by Parividha to chant out loudly the name of Nityananda Prabhu.
The second shows a group of enthusiastic young tourists line dancing with the Harinam party.
Over 1,000 copies of On Chanting Hare Krsna were handed out along with hundreds of invitations to the temple.
If you have time, please read the following translation to a most sublime song by Thakur Bhaktivinode
Dalalera Gita by Thakur Bhaktivinode.
(The Song of the Broker)
1) I am singing news of great happy tidings, Lord Nityananda Himself has opened a market place of the Holy Name in Surabhi-kunja.
2) The news of its great results is that He is selling the pure Holy Name in that market place for the price of one’s faith only.
3) Lord Nityananda, the proprietor of the market, seeing all the devotees becoming attracted, is selling them the Holy Name after bargaining with them.
4) O brother if you want to buy the Holy Name then go with me. We must go to the presence of that great soul Nityananda.
5) You will buy the Name of Krsna, I will take my commission, and all our desires will be fulfilled.
6) Lord Nityananda is greatly merciful, taking only one’s faith, He gives the highest ecstasy.
7) If Nitai sees only once tears in the eyes while chanting the name Gaura, then He gives all resources to that person.
8) He gives the pure teachings of Krsna to everyone and does not care for one’s birth, wealth, knowledge and strength.
9) Now, giving up the illusory snare of Maya, either remain in household life or in the forrest as a sannyasi, for no more troubles remain.
10) There is no more fear of the Age of Kali. The merciful Nityananda gives the Holy Names even to the candalas.
11) Bhaktivinoda calls out: “Except for the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda there is no other shelter.”
