Iha Kali Yuga Dhanya Nityānanda Śrī Caitanya

Kali-yuga is a fortunate and glorious time for then Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda descend to this world to save the fallen souls. With compassionate eyes seeing the suffering fallen souls the two Lords string a jewel-necklace of the holy names.

Because His very virtuous Lord Gaura gives away the great treasure of spiritual love. Going from person to person He gives every fallen soul the gift of this treasure. Accompanied by His devotees Lord Gaura-Hari goes from house to house begging and begging everyone please to accept His gift.

To everyone even to the fools the lame and the blind He gives His gift of ecstatic spiritual love. Now everyone becomes wild with ecstatic spiritual love. Turning away from food and drink they sing and dance.

I did not worship a Lord that was so kind. I was born. Not yet have I died. I was cheated of the treasure Lord Nityānanda brought. Kṛṣṇa dāsa who is worthless like a pile of ashes says: I have no hope but Him. Even though it is the auspicious Kali-yuga destiny still cheated me of this treasure.
