The mood of kirtan – Quoted by Indradyumna Swami
- aju gora nagara-kirtane
sajiya calaye priya parikara sane
“Surrounded by His dear devotees, Lord Gaura performs sankirtana in the city.”
- angera su-besha bhala shobhe
nace nana bhangite bhubana-mana mohe
“His well-dressed form is glorious. Dancing in many graceful ways, He charms the hearts of everyone in the world.”
- prema barishaye anibara
bahaye ananda-nadi nadiya majhara
“He continuously showers the bliss of ecstatic spiritual love. He makes a river of spiritual bliss flow in Nadiya.”
- deba-gana misha-i manushe
barishe kusuma kata manera harishe
“The demigods stay amongst the human beings. Their hearts are joyful. How many monsoons of flowers do they shower?”
- nagariya loka saba dhaya
manera manase goracanda guna gaya
“The people run to greet Him. With all their hearts they sing Lord Gaura’s glories.”
- mudha-gana shuni simha-nada
ha-iya birasa mana ganaye pramada
“Some bewildered people, their hearts withered by fear, think the tumultuous kirtan is a host of lions roaring.”
- lakhe lakhe dipa jwale bhala
upama ki abani gagana kare alo
“Millions and millions of glistening lamps shine. With what shall I compare the light that fills the ground and sky?”
- narahari kahite ki jane
matila jagata ke-u dhairaja na mane
“What shall Narahari say? He does not know. The whole world has become wild with bliss. No one is peaceful at heart.”
[Kamoda-raga, Song 24, by Narahari das. Translated by Kusakrata Dasa]
