Āju Ki Ānanda Saṅkīrtane

How much bliss is now present in this saṅkīrtana! Surrounded by Their dear associates, Lord Gaura and Lord Nityānanda, who are the root of all transcendental bliss, dance.

They dance and call out, “Glory! Glory!” The devotees play kholas and karatālas. Everyone is overcome with ecstatic spiritual love. Flooding rivers of tears flow from everyone’s eyes. Some joyfully sing. Some, overcome with ecstasy, fall to the ground.

Soem have bodily hairs that stand erect. Some loudly roar. Some tremble. Some cannot remain peaceful and steady. Some gaze at Lord Gaura. Some extend their arms and hug the other devotees. They will not let go.

Some grasp the devotees’ feet and place the dust on their own head. Some stumble and stumble, falling to the ground as they walk. Gazing at the two Lords as They dance, the servant Narahari joyfully sings the two Lord’s glories.
