Sri Tunhu Doya Sagara
AI-drafted translation — pending review
O Lord, You are an ocean of mercy. You have brought Your innumerable holy names to this world and have taught the chanting of them to the fallen living beings just for their deliverance.
You invest all Your energies in Your own holy name, and for chanting Your holy name You have not established any rules such as consideration of time or place.
Your divine holy name, being nondifferent from You, is like touchstone. You have distributed Your holy name throughout the entire creation, and that is the essence of Your kindness.
Such is Your mercy, which is supremely magnanimous, O Lord, but I am extremely unfortunate.
My attraction for the holy name has never come about; therefore the heart of Bhaktivinoda is overwhelmed with sadness.
About Sri Tunhu Doya Sagara
A song by Bhaktivinoda Thakura, from Gitavali. Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that Sri Krishna is so merciful He has given the essence of Hare Krishna Mantra to all without any conditions. Yet we all are so unfortunate we do not value His unbound mercy. Sri Govinda Hare wants to deliver us but we fools want to enjoy materialistic benefits. Krishna is very forgiving so please have faith in this mantra and chant with devotion.
