Hari Biphale Janama Gonainu
Purport Author: A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami
December 26, 1968 Los Angeles, CA, USA
Pradyumna: Hari hari biphale, janama...
Prabhupāda: Goṅāinu. G-o-y-a-i-n-u. [Bengali phonetic spelling sometimes
does not match the BBT standard diacritics used for Bengali. Ed. note]
Prabhupāda: Biphale, janama goṅāinu. Hari hari
biphale janama goṅāinu. Goṅāinu.
Prabhupāda: Yes. So
shall I give the meaning also?
Pradyumna:
Afterwards, I guess. Oh, this is the first verse? Hari hari
biphale, janama goṅāinu.
Prabhupāda: Janama goṅāinu.
This is first line. Hari hari biphale, janama goṅāinu. The next line: manuṣya-janama pāiyā. M-a-n-u-s-y-a.
Prabhupāda: Janama. J-a-n-a-m-a.
Pāiyā, p-a-i-y-a.
Prabhupāda: Manuṣya-janama pāiyā, rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā bhajiyā. Next line. R-a-d-h-a, Rādhā, Kṛṣṇa,
K-r-i-s-h-n-a, nā bhajiyā,
n-a, nā, bhajiyā,
b-h-a-j-i-a,
nā bhajiyā. Next line, jāniyā,
j-a-n-i-a, jāniyā.
Prabhupāda: N-i-a. Śuniyā, s-u-n-i-a. Jāniyā śuniyā
biṣa, b-i-s-a,
biṣa.
Prabhupāda: B-i-s-a. Khāinu, k-h-a-i-n-u.
hari hari
biphale janama goṅāinu
manuṣya-janama pāiyā,
rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā bhajiyā,
jāniyā śuniyā
biṣa khāinu
The
meaning is, Hari Hari, "My
Lord,'' biphale, "uselessly,'' janama, "life,'' goṅāinu, "spent up. I have uselessly
spent up my life.'' Why? Because manuṣya-janama pāiyā, "I got this
human form of life,'' manuṣya-janama pāiyā, rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā
bhajiyā, "but I did not engage
myself in the loving transcendental service of Rādhā
and Kṛṣṇa.'' Rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā
bhajiyā, jāniyā
śuniyā biṣa
khāinu: "Willingly, purposefully, I
have drunk poison.'' Hari hari biphale, janama goṅāinu.
Pradyumna: Tell
it for each word. Jāniyā means?
Prabhupāda: Jāniyā means knowingly, and śuniyā means hearing.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Two kinds of knowledge are there. You can practically understand by experiment.
This is called jāniyā. And another
knowledge is by hearing from authoritative source. That is also
knowledge. Jāniyā śuniyā "By
hearing process and by experimental knowledge, in both ways, I know that this
human form of life is meant for engaging in the loving service of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa,
but I did not do that. That means purposefully I have drunk poison. I have
committed suicide.'' Then golokera prema-dhana, g-o-l-e... No. G-o-l-o-k-e-r-a,
golokera. Prema,
p-r-e-m-a, prema. Dhana, d-h-a-n-a.
Golokera prema-dhana. That means: "This chanting,
Hare Kṛṣṇa, is imported from the
transcendental abode of Goloka." Hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana. "This chanting, Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa
Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa
Hare Hare, this is not material vibration. This sound
is..." What is called? Captured? Just like we capture
sound. The sound is in the air. So this sound...
There are different layers of air, but this sound is in the highest layer, in
the transcendental, spiritual layer, beyond this material world. From that
sound it is captured. It requires strong machine to capture that sound. Golokera prema-dhana,
hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana.
Prabhupāda: H-a-r-i-n-a-m-a, hari-nāma, saṅkīrtana, s-a-n-k-i-r-t-a-n-a.
Hari-nāma saṅkīrtana. Rati nā janmila.
R-a-t-i, n-a, nā, janmila,
j-a-n-m-i-l-a. Rati nā janmila kena, k-e-n-a, tāi, t-a-i.
"It is so sublime, transcendental, and it is imported from the
transcendental world, Goloka Vṛndāvana.
Unfortunately, I do not know why I did not get any attachment for such nice
thing." Rati nā
janmila kene tāi. Tāi means
"in that." Biṣaya biṣānale. B-i-s-a-y-a, biṣaya. Biṣa, b-i-s-a,
biṣa, nale, n-a-l-e.
Prabhupāda: Biṣa, b-i-s-a, nale, n-a-l-e. Biṣānale. The blazing fire
of poison. The material enjoyment is blazing fire of poison. "Just
like a person, if he is put into the blazing fire, he is burned into ashes,
similarly, simply by thinking, 'How I shall enjoy this? How I shall enjoy this
materially?' This is just like blazing fire of poison. So I am suffering
always." Biṣaya biṣānale
dibā-niśi hiyā
jvale. Dibā-niśi, d-i-b-a,
dibā-niśi. Dibā means day, and niśi, niśi means
night. "So day and night I am in this blazing fire."
Pradyumna: Neśi? How do you spell that?
Pradyumna: Dibā n-i-s-i, dibā-niśi.
Prabhupāda: Hiyā, h-i-a, hiyā, jvale,
j-a..., j-v-a-l-e.
Prabhupāda:
J-v-a-l-e. Dibā-niśi hiyā jvale: "The heart is burning always, day and
night." Tarivare. T-a-r-i
v-a-r-e, tarivare. Tarivare means "to get out of
it."
Pradyumna: Can
you spell that again?
Prabhupāda: Tarivare? T-a-r-i v-a-r-e.
Prabhupāda: Nā kainu.
N-a, nā, kainu, k-a-i-n-u, nā kainu, upāya, u-p-a-y-a, upāya. Tarivare means
"to get out of it,'' nā kainu, "did not do.'' Nā means "not,'' kainu, "did not do.'' Nā kainu
upāya. Upāya means "means.'' That
means "If anyone wants to get out of this blazing fire of poison of
material enjoyment, then he has to take to this hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana, this chanting. That is the only
method. So I did not do that. I engaged myself in this viṣaya viṣānale,
this material enjoyment. Therefore my life has been uselessly spoiled. Tarivare nā
kainu upāya. The next line, vrajendra-nandana
yei. V-r-a-j-e-n-d-r-a,
vrajendra, nandana,
n-a-n-d-a-n-a, yei, y-a-i.
Prabhupāda: Jai. Vrajendranandana yei, śacī-suta, s-a-c-h-i-s-u-t-a,
śacī-suta, haila, h-a-i-l-a, haila, sei, s-a-i, sei. Vrajendra-nandana yei, śacī-suta
haila sei, balarāma haila nitāi. B-al-a-r-a-m-a,
balarāma, haila, h-i, h-a-i-l-a. Haila, h-a-i-l-a, nitāi,
n-i-t-a-i, haila nitāi. Balarāma haila nitāi.
And this means... Vrajendra-nandana
yei: "The Supreme Personality who
appeared as the son of King Nanda, the same Supreme
Personality Kṛṣṇa has now appeared
as the son of mother Śacī." And Balarāma, b-a-l-a-r-a-m-a; haila, haila means "has become;" Nitāi, "Lord Nityānanda."
"Formerly the Personality of Godhead who was known as Balarāma
has now become Lord Nityānanda." So what is
their business? Pāpī tāpī yata chilo. P-a-p-i, t-a-p-i, pāpī tāpī, yata,
y-a-t-a, yata chilo,
c-h-h-i-l-a.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Pāpī tāpī
yata chilo, hari-nāme, uddhārilo.
H-a-r-i, hari, nāme, n-a-m-e, nāme, uddhārilo,
u-d-d-h-a-r-i-l-a. That means "These two
Personality of Godhead, they, simply by distributing the transcendental
chanting, Hare Kṛṣṇa, has reclaimed
all conditioned and sinful souls." Pāpī tāpī
yata chilo, hari-nāme uddhārilo. "And the concrete example for
this activity is Jagāi and Mādhāi,
the two brothers known by Jagāi-Mādhāi.''
J-a-g-a-i, Jagāi
and Mādhāi, M-a-d-h-a-i.
Pāpī tāpī yata chilo, hari
nāme uddharilo, tā'ra sākṣī,
tā'ra sākṣī.
T-a-r, sākṣī, s-a-k-s-h-i, sākṣī, jagāi and
mādhāi. And then last verse is hā hā prabhu nanda-suta, h-a-h-a, hā hā, prabhu,
p-r-a-b-h-u, prabhu, nanda-suta,
n-a-n-d-a-s-u-t-a. "My dear Lord Kṛṣṇa,
son of King Nanda..." Vṛṣabhānu-sutā-yuta. V-r-i-s-a-b-h-a-n-u, vṛṣabhānu, sutā, s-u-t...
Prabhupāda: Vṛṣabhānu, b-h-a-n-u.
Prabhupāda: Vṛṣabhānu-sutā, s-u-t-a. Sutā-yuta, y-u-t-a.
That means "My Lord Kṛṣṇa, the
son of King Nanda, You are now along with Rādhārāṇī, the daughter of King Vṛṣabhānu. So both of
you are here. So I am Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura."
Narottama, N-a-r-a-t-t-a-m-a, Narottama,
dāsa, d-a-s-a, dāsa, kahe,
k-a-h-e. "I am Narottama dāsa.
I am placing my appeal unto You." Narottama dāsa ka..., nā theliho.
N-a, theliho,
t-h-e-l-i-a. Nā theliho.
Rāṅgā, r-a-n-g-a, rāṅgā, pāye,
p-a-y-e. Nā theliho rāṅgā pāye.
Tumi binā, t-u-m-i, tumi, vinā, v-i-n-a.
Prabhupāda:
T-u-m-e, tumi, vinā,
v-i-n-a, ke, k-e, āche, a-c-h-h-e, āche, ke āche.
Prabhupāda: No. A-c-h-h-e. Āmār, a-m-a-r.
"So who else is there beyond yourself? So don't kick me out by Your lotus feet. Please accept me because I have no other
shelter than Yourself." Is that...?
