O Mind! Just Worship

Here is the translation to Bhaja Hu Re Mana, a wonderful devotional song by His Divine Grace Govinda Dasa Kaviraj Swami.


Bhaja Hu Re Mana (O Mind! Just Worship)


bhajahū re mana śrī-nanda-nandana

abhaya-caraṇāravinda re

durlabha mānava-janama sat-sańge

taroho e bhava-sindhu re


O mind just worship the lotus feet of the son of Nanda, which make one fearless. Having obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of worldly existence through the association of saintly persons.


Lord Caitanya is in the sea, glowing
Lord Caitanya's effulgence

śīta ātapa bāta bariṣaṇa

e dina jāminī jāgi re

biphale sevinu kṛpaṇa durajana

capala sukha-laba lāgi' re


Both in the day and at night I remain sleepless, suffering the pains of the heat and cold, the wind and the rain. For a fraction of flickering happiness I have uselessly served wicked and miserly men


e dhana, yaubana, putra, parijana

ithe ki āche paratīti re

kamala-dala-jala, jīvana ṭalamala

bhajahū hari-pada nīti re


What assurance of real happiness is there in all of one's wealth, youthfulness, sons, and family members? This life is tottering like a drop of water on a lotus petal; therefore you should always serve and worship the divine feet of Lord Hari.


śravaṇa, kīrtana, smaraṇa, vandana,

pāda-sevana, dāsya re

pūjana, sakhī-jana, ātma-nivedana

govinda-dāsa-abhilāṣa re


It is the desire and great longing of Govinda Dasa to engage himself in the nine processes of bhakti, namely hearing the glories of Lord Hari and chanting those glories, constantly remembering Him and offering prayers to Him, serving the Lord's lotus feet, serving the Supreme Lord as a servant, worshiping Him with flowers and incense and so forth, serving Him as a friend, and completely offering the Lord one's very self.
