Sri Vaisnava Vandana

By Sri Devakinandana das

vrndavana-vasi jata vaisnavera gana
prathame vandana kari sabara carana (1)

First of all I offer my worship to the feet of all Vaisnavas of Vrindavana.


nilacala-vasi jata mahaprabhura gana
bhumite podiya vando sabara carana (2)

Praising all of Mahaprabhu’s associates in Nilacala, Jagannath Puri dham, I postrate at their feet.

 
navadvipa-vasi jata mahaprabhura bhakta
sabara carana vando haiya anurakta (3)

I pray for loving attachment to the lotus feet of all of Mahaprabhu’s bhaktas in Navadvipa.

 
mahaprabhura bhakta jata gauda-dese sthiti
sabara carana vando kariya pranati (4)

I worship all of Mahaprabhu’s devotees in Gaudadesa, Bengal.

 
je-dese je-dese baise gaurangera gana
urdhva-bahu kari vando sabara carana (5)

With upraised arms I pray to the feet of all of Gauranga’s bhaktas, wherever they may reside.

 
haiyachena haibena prabhura jata dasa
sabara carana vando dante kari’ ghasa (6)

Holding a straw between my teeth, I submit at the feet of all the servants of Mahaprabhu that ever were in the past and that ever will be in the future.

 
brahmanda tarite sakti dhare jane jane
e veda purane guna gaya jeva sune (7)

In the Vedas and Puranas it is proclaimed that each one of his devotees has the potency to deliver the entire universe.

 
mahaprabhura gana saba patita-pavana
tai lobhe mui papi lainu sarana (8)

Hearing of their glory, I have come with great eagerness to surrender to Mahaprabhus devotees, who are all patita-pavana for sinners like me.

 
vandana karite mui kata sakti dhari
tamo-buddhi-dose mui dambha matra kari (9)

What power do I have to glorify them? Being engrossed in ignorance, it is only out of pride that I attempt to do so.


tathapi mukera bhagya manera ullasa
dosa ksami’ mo-adhame kara nija-dasa (10)

Even though I am dumb and unable to express their greatness, still I am feeling great joy in my heart. Please overlook my faults and make me your servant.

 
sarva-vancha siddhi haya yama-bandha chute
jagate durlabha haiya prema-dhana lute (11)

The devotees award the great wealth of prema, which is very rare in this world, and thus fulfill all desires, including freedom from death.

 
manera vasana purna acirate haya
devakinandana dasa ei lobhe kaya (12)

Being intensely eager that all of his pure and heartfelt desires will be fulfilled soon, Devakinandana das glorifies and prays to the Vaisnavas.
