TRANSLATION
1) Lord Gaurasundara
sings in a very sweet voice, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna,
Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama,
Hare Hare.
2) Whether you are a
householder or a sannyasi, constantly chant "Hari! Hari!" Do not forget this chanting, whether you are in a
happy condition or a distressful one. Just fill your lips with the hari-nama.
3) You are bound up in the
network of Maya and are forced to toil fruitlessly. Now you have obtained full
consciousness in the human form of life, so chant the names of Radha-Madhava.
4) Your life may end at any
moment, and you have not served the Lord of the senses, Hrsikesa.
Take this advice of Bhaktivinoda Thakura:
"Just once, relish the nectar of the holy name!"
