Gitavali
Year: 1893
Language: Bengali
Gitavali is one of the best known works by Bhaktivinoda Thakura. This book
is all about kirtanas and glorifying the Lord. Except
for a few songs, the mood of the entire book is joyful and ecstatic in singing kirtanas. The first chapter is the morning kirtanas. The next chapter sings aratis,
or ceremonies of worship of Deities. The aratis
worshipped are Gaura Gadadhara,
Lord Caitanya, Radha Krsna, and Lord Krsna before
enjoying bhoga. After enjoying bhoga,
the six prayers of glorifying the leftovers of the Lord’s meal, known as prasada, are found. They are known as the Prasada Sevaya. Then, there are
two sets of kirtanas that are meant to be heard
loudly on the streets of towns and villages. The first is for Lord Caitanya and the next is for Lord Krsna.
The Gitavali then goes into a slightly more
philosophical approach with Sreyo Nirnaya
and Parisista. Then three astakams
(set of eight songs) are there to glorify the holy name and Srimati
Radharani. The last astaka
serves as a purport to the eight verses spoken by Lord Caitanya
known as the Siksastaka.
