This is a song by Narottama d\u0101sa \u1e6ch\u0101kura, a great \u0101c\u0101rya of the Gau\u1e0d\u012bya-vai\u1e63\u1e47ava-samprad\u0101ya. He has written many songs about the Vai\u1e63\u1e47ava philosophy, and they are approved as completely corresponding with Vedic instructions. So here Narottama d\u0101sa \u1e6ch\u0101kura is singing that &#8220;The whole world is suffering under the blazing fire of material existence. Therefore, if one takes the shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nity\u0101nanda&#8230;,&#8221; whose birthday is today, 31st, January, 1969. So we should relish this instruction of Narottama d\u0101sa \u1e6ch\u0101kura that in order to get relief from the pangs of blazing fire of this material existence, one should take shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nity\u0101nanda because it is as cooling as the moon rays combined together of millions of moons. That means one will immediately find peaceful atmosphere. Just like a man works whole day and if he comes under the moonshine he feels relief.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, any materialistic man who comes under the shelter of Lord Nity\u0101nanda will immediately feel that relief. Then he says,<\/p>\n<p>nit\u0101i-pada-kamala, ko\u1e6di-candra-su\u015b\u012btala,<br \/>\nje ch\u0101y\u0101y jagata jur\u0101y,<br \/>\nheno nit\u0101i bine bhai, r\u0101dh\u0101-k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a p\u0101ite n\u0101i,<br \/>\ndharo nit\u0101i-cara\u1e47a du&#8217;khani<br \/>\nHe says that &#8220;If you are anxious to go back to home, back to Godhead, and become associate with R\u0101dh\u0101 and K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, then the best policy is to take shelter of Nity\u0101nanda.&#8221; Then he says, se sambandha n\u0101hi j\u0101&#8217;r, b\u1e5bth\u0101 janma gelo t\u0101&#8217;r: &#8220;One who has not been able to contact Nity\u0101nanda, then one should think of himself that he has simply spoiled his valuable life.&#8221; B\u1e5bth\u0101 janma gelo, b\u1e5bth\u0101 means for nothing, and janma means life. Gelo t\u0101&#8217;r, spoiled. Because he has not made connection with Nity\u0101nanda. The Nity\u0101nanda, very name, suggests&#8230; Nitya means eternal. \u0100nanda means pleasure. Material pleasure is not eternal. That is the distinction. Therefore those who are intelligent, they are not interested with this flickering pleasure of material world. Every one of us, as living entity, we are searching after pleasure. But the pleasure which we are seeking, that is flickering, temporary. That is not pleasure. Real pleasure is nity\u0101nanda, eternal pleasure. So anyone who has no contact with Nity\u0101nanda, it is to be understood that his life is spoiled.<\/p>\n<p>se sambandha n\u0101hi j\u0101&#8217;r, b\u1e5bth\u0101 janma gelo t\u0101&#8217;r,<br \/>\nsei pa\u015bu boro dur\u0101c\u0101r<br \/>\nNarottama d\u0101sa \u1e6ch\u0101kura uses here very harsh word. He says that such human being is an animal, an uncontrollable animal. As there are some animals that cannot be tamed, so anyone who has not contacted Nity\u0101nanda, he should be considered as an untamed animal. Sei pa\u015bu boro dur\u0101c\u0101r. Why? Because nit\u0101i n\u0101 bolilo mukhe: &#8220;He never uttered the holy name of Nity\u0101nanda.&#8221; And majilo sa\u1e41s\u0101ra-sukhe, &#8220;and become merged into this material happiness.&#8221; Vidy\u0101-kule ki koribe t\u0101r. &#8220;That nonsense does not know that what will his education and family and tradition and nationality will help him?&#8221; These things cannot help him. These are all temporary things. Simply, if we want eternal pleasure, we must contact Nity\u0101nanda. Vidy\u0101-kule ki koribe t\u0101r. Vidy\u0101 means education, and kula means family, nationality. So we may have a very nice family connection or we may have very nice national prestige, but after ending this body, these things will not help me. I&#8217;ll carry my work with me, and according to that work, I shall have to accept by force another type of body. It may be something other than human body. So these things cannot protect us or give us the real pleasure. So Narottama d\u0101sa \u1e6ch\u0101kura advises that vidy\u0101-kule ki koribe t\u0101r. Then he says, aha\u1e45k\u0101re matta hoiy\u0101. &#8220;Being maddened after false prestige and identification&#8230;&#8221; False identification with the body and prestige of bodily relationship, it is called aha\u1e45k\u0101re matta hoiy\u0101. One is mad after this false prestige. Aha\u1e45k\u0101re matta hoiy\u0101, nit\u0101i-pada p\u0101sariy\u0101. Due to this false prestige we are thinking, &#8220;Oh, what is Nity\u0101nanda? What can He do for me? I don&#8217;t care.&#8221; So these are the signs of false prestige. Aha\u1e45k\u0101re matta hoiy\u0101, nit\u0101i-pada p\u0101sa&#8230;, asatyere satya kori m\u0101ni. The result is that I am accepting something which is false. For example, I am accepting this body. This body, I am not this body. Therefore, with false identification I am becoming entangled more and more. So one who is puffed up with this false prestige, aha\u1e45k\u0101re matta hoiy\u0101, nit\u0101i-pada p\u0101&#8230;, asatyere satya kori m\u0101ni, he accepts something wrong as right. Then he says, nit\u0101iyer koru\u1e47\u0101 habe, braje r\u0101dh\u0101-k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a p\u0101be. If you are actually serious about going back to home, back to Godhead, then please seek after the mercy of Nity\u0101nanda. Aha\u1e45k\u0101re&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>nit\u0101iyer koru\u1e47\u0101 habe, braja r\u0101dh\u0101-k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a p\u0101be,<br \/>\ndharo nit\u0101i-cara\u1e47a du&#8217;kh\u0101ni<br \/>\n&#8220;Please catch up the lotus feet of Nity\u0101nanda.&#8221; Then he says, nit\u0101iyer cara\u1e47a satya. One may think that as we catch hold of so many shelter, but in this material world later on they prove false, similarly, suppose we catch hold of the lotus feet of Nity\u0101nanda; it may also prove false. But Narottama d\u0101sa \u1e6ch\u0101kura assures that nit\u0101iyer cara\u1e47a satya: &#8220;It is not false. Because Nity\u0101nanda is eternal, His lotus feet is also eternal.&#8221; T\u0101\u1e45h\u0101ra sevaka nitya. And anyone who takes to the service of Nity\u0101nanda, they also become eternal. Without being eternal, nobody can serve the eternal. That is the Vedic injunction. Without becoming Brahman, one cannot approach the Supreme Brahman. Just like without being fire, nobody can enter into the fire. Without being water, nobody can enter into the water. Similarly, without being fully spiritualized, nobody can enter into the spiritual kingdom. So nit\u0101iyer cara\u1e47a satya. If you catch nit\u0101iyer, the lotus feet of Nity\u0101nanda, then you become immediately spiritualized. Just like if you touch electricity, immediately you become electrified. That is natural. Similarly, Nity\u0101nanda is eternal happiness, if you touch Nity\u0101nanda some way or other, then you become also eternally happy. T\u0101\u1e45h\u0101ra sevaka nitya. Therefore one who has in contact with Nity\u0101nanda, they have become eternal.<\/p>\n<p>nit\u0101iyer cara\u1e47a satya, t\u0101\u1e45h\u0101ra sevaka nitya,<br \/>\nd\u1e5b\u1e0dha kori&#8217; dharo nit\u0101ir p\u0101y<br \/>\nSo just catch Him very tightly. Narottama boro du\u1e25kh\u012b, nit\u0101i more koro sukh\u012b. At the last Narottama d\u0101sa \u1e6ch\u0101kura, the composer of this song, he is appealing to Nity\u0101nanda, &#8220;My dear Lord, I am very unhappy. So You please make me happy. And You kindly keep me in corner of Your lotus feet.&#8221; That is the sum and substance of this song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/X6yjA5C.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img src= \"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Fq9P97Q.jpg\" \/>&#8220;If you are anxious to go back to home, back to Godhead, and become associate with R\u0101dh\u0101 and K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, then the best policy is to take shelter of Nity\u0101nanda.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recent-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=71720"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71723,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71720\/revisions\/71723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=71720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=71720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=71720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
