"nāca gāo bhakta-saṅge kara saṅkīrtana" baḍa-i madhura mahāprabhūra vacana
Translation

"Continue dancing, singing and performing sankirtana in the association of devotees." ( C.C. Adi 7.9) These words spoken by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are especially nectarine.

gurudeva-vākye yadi dṛḍha śraddha haya tabe sankīrtane kṛṣṇa prema upajaya
Translation

If we have complete faith in these instructions given by you, our spiritual master, then in the performance of sankirtana actual love for Krsna will be aroused in us.

prema vinā nija- buddhi saba māyā-jāla lābha nā hiala ithe ghaṭila jañjāla
Translation

Without love of God, our tiny intelligence only becomes entangled in the network of Maya's delusions. Because no one actually attained prema, now there has been great upheaval in your mission.

māyāvādī bha're gela jagat saḿsāre vaiṣṇava chāḍila pracār nirjanera ghare
Translation

The whole world has become filled with impersonalists, and the Vaisnavas have given up the work of preaching that was entrusted unto them and have simply gone off to perform solitary worship.

patita-pāvana nāme paḍila kalaṅka chāḍāchāḍī ha'la saba vaiṣṇava asaṅkhya
Translation

The Vaisnava's were famous as "patita pavana" (deliverers of the falen) but now this title has fallen into disgrace. Countless numbers of your disciples have been forced to leave your movement.

e hena durdine prabhu! ki habe upāya? tomāra sājāna bāgāna bhāṅgiyā ye yāya
Translation

At such an inauspicious time, O Master, what can be done to repair the damage that is done? The beautiful garden that you had so carefully planted is now parched and withered away.

subuddhī jāgāo prabhu! e kṣudra antare tomāra kathāye yāte dṛḍha-śraddhā bāḍe
Translation

O Master, please awaken some good intelligence in this insignificant disciple of yours so that my firm faith in your transcendental message may increase more and more.

jīvera darada-duḥkhi śrīla prabhupāda! viraha-vāsare tava heri avasāda
Translation

O Srila Prabhupada! You personally suffer to see the suffering of the fallen conditioned souls. On this day of your separation I am utterly despondent.
