Gītāvalī (A Collection of Songs)
Śreyo-Nirṇaya
(Ascertainment of Spiritual Welfare) – Song 1
(1)
kṛṣṇa-bhakti vinā kabhu nāhi phalodoy
miche sab dharmādharma jīver upādhimoy
1) There is no profit in a life devoid of devotional service to Kṛṣṇa. Therefore all the so-called religiosity and irreligiosity of a living being who is bewildered by false worldly designations is simply useless.
(2)
yoga-yāga-tapo-dhyān, sannyāsādi brahma-jñān,
nānā-kānḍa-rūpe jīver bandhana-kāraṇa hoy
2) Mysticism, performance of Vedic sacrifices, severe austerities, meditation, renunciation of the world, and cultivating knowledge of the impersonal Brahman-although appearing in the forms of various spiritual paths-are all causes of the soul’s further bondage to this world.
(3)
vinoder vākya dharo, nānā kānḍa tyāg koro,
nirupādhi kṛṣṇa-preme hṛdoye deho āśroy
3) Please heed this advice of Bhaktivinoda: Give up all these various paths, and just keep pure love of Kṛṣṇa sheltered within your heart, for this alone is transcendental to all mundane designations.
On 18th August 2012, on the occasion of his Vyāsa Pūjā, Śrīla Bhakti Gaurava Narasiṅgha Mahārāja announced to the devotees that he had a strong desire to create a website called “Bhaktivinoda Institute” in honour of Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura and his teachings in order to preserve and propagate them.
