Song Eleven
Exclusively Dependent Shelter of the Lord
(1)
hari he
anya āśā nāhi jāra taba pada-padma tāra
chāḍibāra jogya nāhi hoya
taba padāśroye nātha kore sei dina-pāta
taba pade tāhāra abhoya
Oh my dear Lord Hari! He who spends his time under the shelter of Your lotus feet, oh Lord, becomes completely fearless. Indeed, he has no ability to neglect Your lotus feet for he hasn’t a pinch of desire to remain under any other shelter.
(2)
stanya-pāyī-śiśu-jane mātā chāḍe krodha-mane
śiśu tabu nāhi chāḍe māya
je hetu tāhāra ārae jībana dhoribāra
mātā binā nāhika upāya
A mother sometimes neglects her breast-suckling children out of anger but still the children could never give up their mother. This is because such small helpless children are not able to maintain their lives at all without their mother, being totally dependent on her.
(3)
e bhaktibinoda koya tumi chāḍo doyāmoya
dekhiyā āmāra doṣa-gaṇa
āmi to’ chāḍite nāri tomā binā nāhi pāri
kakhana dhorite e jībana
Similarly, Bhaktivinoda says to You, oh Lord Who is overflowing with compassion, that You may reject me if You like, seeing all of my offenses. But still, I will never be able to abandon You, for I cannot maintain my life under any circumstances without You.
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.
