Gouranga advents !

“nidhubone duhun jone, choudike sakhigone, shutiyâchhe rosero âloshe,

nishi sheshe bidhumukhi, uthilen swapano dekhi, kândi kândi kohe bodhu-pâshe.

utho utho prânonâth, ki dekhilâm akasmât, ek juba goura  boron,

kibâ târ roopo thâm, jini koto koti kâm, rasarâj rosero sadan.

ashru kampa roop dekhi, bhâb bhushâ nirobodhi, nâche gay moha matta hoiyâ,

anupomo roop dekhi, jurâilo mor ânkhi, mon dhây tâhâre dekhiyâ.”


Meaning – “The Divine Couple were sleeping in Nidhuvan, surrounded by the sakhis; They were so exhausted by love-making. At the end of the night, the beautiful moon-faced Râdhâ woke up startled by a dream. She started sobbing and woke up Shyâmsundar saying, “Please, Oh please do get up, O my Life and Soul ! Ohh how can I tell You, what have I seen? I saw a youth – all gold-complexioned ! He was so handsome, as if He could put millions of Love-gods to shame ! He was Rasarâj – the abode of all ras! He looked so gorgeous with jewel-like bhâvs covering his entire being ! Tears and gooseflesh embellished him, while He sang and danced inebriated. His matchless beauty soothed my eyes, and my heart is rushing towards Him.”


When Rasik Shekhar Sri Krishna saw Sri Râdhâ pining thus, He consoled Her saying, O my Beloved, please don’t lament, listen to me –


“sundari je dekhilâ gouro swarup,

so nohi ân, kebol tuwâ prem, mohe korobo teno roop,

koichhono tuwâ premâ, koichhono mor madhurimaa, koichhono sukhe tuhu bhor.

e tin bânchhiti dhon, broje nohilo puron, ki koribo nâ pâiyâ or,

bhâbiyâ dekhinu mone, tohâri swarup bine, e bâsonâ purno kobhu noy.

tuwâ bhâb kânti dhori, tuwâ prem guru kori, nadiyâte koriboo udoy,

sâdhibo monero sâdhâ, ghuchibe monero bâdhâ, ghare ghare bilâbo prem dhon.”


Meaning – “O my Beauty ! The gold-form that You saw is none other than myself. It is Your love that will force me to assume that form. How is Your love? How is my sweetness? How much pleasure overcomes You? I wish to know this so much, yet I can not fulfill my desire in Braj. I thought and thought, but could not find any solution to my problem. Then I concluded that without assuming Your form, I will never be able to quench my thirst. Therefore I shall accept Your bhâv and splendor, Your prem as my Guru, and arise like a moon in Nadiâ as Goura-chandra. Thus I shall realize my heart-dream, and with a carefree mind, I shall scatter precious prem anywhere and everywhere, without any discrimination.”

My dear devotees, He is one other than our Beloved munificent magnanimous Goursundar !! He is the ONLY God in Kaliyug, and if we propound anyone else as ‘God’ we are cheating ourselves and others. We have already got such a gorgeous God, why do we ever need anyone else ?
