One Hundred Magnanimous Verses Glorifying Sriman Mahaprabhu (A)

Verse 1

O Gaura! May the devotees of the entire world accept these verses in glorification of You which are born of the pure pleasure potency.

Verse 2

Overwhelmed by love of God, Sriman Mahaprabhu initiates everyone into the worship of Radha Krishna by floating in ecstasy while engaged in the sankirtana movement.

Verse 3

Chanting in the sweet mood of Radharani, His names are given to the world engulfed in maya. Due to His unprecedented love for Krishna, tears are seen flowing from His eyes just as streams of water form in and out of existence. Seeing His limbs shivering like the wind, His body perspires like never before. Compassionate towards those who are tormented by the age of Kali, He is always eager to teach the living entities about how to unify with Krishna in the mood of the Vraja gopis.

Verse 4

Falling into the filthy ocean of this present degraded age, why be bewildered by the gunas or qualities of nature? Absorbed in family life, Gauranga thinks about how to deliver them from the nescience of conservative and bland servitude. Appearing as a mendicant of renowned splendor within the town of Navadvipa, His beautiful body is soulfully alive.

Verse 5

Sriman Mahaprabhu is the sole savior of the age of Kali because only He is interested in pure devotional service based on pure spiritual realization of the purest of the holy names. Burning in hell because of rejecting His form of bhakti, burned by passion and ignorance are they who have no life in the spirit.

Verse 6

Playfully dancing with Gadadhara Pandita,He thus continues His pastimes that He pleasantly demonstrated before the liberated jivas when He was called by the names Radha Krishna.

Verse 7

Bitten by the snake of poisoned realizations that results in more of the same old habits of unconsciousness, chanting the holy names and serving the Vaishnavas is the sole medicine worth consuming.

Verse 8

The sweet candy of divine love for the spiritual master is a delicious treat to melt the foolishness of a heart consumed by material desires.

Verse 9

I offer myself wholly to Sri Krishna Chaitanya, the ocean of mercy that is unending and unlimited. O Lord of the universe, transform my soul into the infinite glories of servitude.

Verse 10

Marveling at how You are so engaged in saving the fallen souls from themselves, their families, and their false heroes and leaders, I repeatedly ask You to accept me as one of Your insignificant surrendered servants.

Dance and chant until exhausted of all material desires and realize your eternal nature as a happy living entity full of bliss and knowledge

Verse 11

Fallen because of being absorbed in the mentality of birth and death, You can do anything to deliver me from the dangers of forgetting You. You are most expert in dealing with the wicked. I thus desire to surrender unto Your magnanimous grace.

Verse 12

As the Lord of all, You bestow all forms of spiritual wealth known to the liberated and to the aspiring devotees of Your Lordship. Maintaining the universe all by Yourself, make my life worthy of mention by successfully protecting me from the enemy of greed and lust.

Verse 13

Hearing about the other Vishnu incarnations glorified in the Puranas, and how They were able to deliver the devotees of Their time, I have full faith that only You in Your present form can remove the stain of sin which makes my heart into a place of pilgrimage for so many demoniac qualities.

Verse 14

Dancing like the stars do when with His devotees in Nilachala, the divine sound emanating from the sankirtana movement enchants everyone who hears it with an open heart and mind.

Verse 15

Gazing upon Lord Jagannath and desiring to embrace His form, He falls to the ground in His molten form of gold, stunned by His own ecstasy, unable to move His eyes away from Him.

Verse 16

During that euphoric meeting between the moving and immobile Lord, tears of love are all that can be seen. Shivering all over and His voice unable to project the holy names, He remains unconscious as if for eternity.

Verse 17

Worshiping Radha Krishna for hundreds of lives in order to appreciate Gauranga’s style of bhakti, firm in love are they who see Radha Krishna in that One Avatara of Prema.

Verse 18

Increasing your devotion to Sriman Mahaprabhu by increasing your appreciation for Radha Krishna, worshiping either one is not exclusive or separate from the worship of the other.

Verse 19

The charming nature of His eternally smiling lotus face subdues all anxieties in the mirror of the heart, and His throat is as smoothly shaped as a divinely used conch shell. Gaurachandra’s strong limbs are capable of any type of feat imaginable.

Verse 20

The abode of love, every feature of His form has a transcendental quality attached to it.

The protector of Her devotees, Her love never fails them

Verse 21

O friend of the ocean of pure love! Full of craftiness and unable to understand anything about Your pastimes with me, You must be merciful to me in order to live up to Your title as patita pavana.

Verse 22

Raising His arms out of transcendental pride, He requests everyone to just surrender to the chanting of the holy names. Dancing for hours on end out of great love for every part of God, He strikes His chest out of anxiety and rolls in the dirt which has been blessed by His devotees.

Verse 23

I wish to be with the Supreme Person who is so enthusiastic for the holy names that everyone willingly wants to chant alongside Him. His holy name is auspicious to the extent that all obstacles of the mind and body are disintegrated in mere seconds of pure ecstatic feelings.

Verse 24

His curly hair is a feast for the spiritual eyes of all spiritualized flowers offered to Him. On His forehead is a nicely decorated sign of the Vaishnava faith, and His ears sportively display long jeweled earrings.

Verse 25

I worship the Supreme Person Gaura Nitai who is covered with sandalwood paste and other scented flavors of divinity. Sweetly walking with ankle bells around His legs and bangles on His wrists, everything about this incarnation is meant to remind you of the glorious and blissful form of unified Radha Krishna.
