Srila Rupa Goswami's meditation on Navadvipa

1. I meditate on Sri Navadvipa, which eternally shines with great spiritual bliss on the very charming shore of the purifying Ganges in Bengal.

2. I meditate on Sri Navadvipa, which some say is the spiritual sky of Vaikuntha, some say is the realm of Goloka, and they who know the truth say is Sri Vrndavana.

3. I meditate on Sri Navadvipa, where in every direction are cooling breezes and many trees where Lord Gaura enjoyed His noon pastimes.

4. I meditate on Sri Navadvipa, where the waves of the great Ganges playfully splash against the golden shores decorated with golden stairs.

5. I meditate on Sri Navadvipa, where there numberless beautiful golden palaces, all the eternal homes of the goddess of fortune.

6. I meditate on Sri Navadvipa, where the people are glorified by the great sages, demigods, and Siddhas, and are filled with knowledge, mercy, tolerance, the results of all Vedic yajnas, and the six great opulences.

7. I meditate on Sri Navadvipa, within which is the blissful home of Purandara Misra, opulent with Lord Gaura's pastimes from His birth.

8. I meditate on Sri Navadvipa, where golden Lord Hari, by wandering everywhere and chanting the Holy Name with great love in the company of His devotees, plunged everyone into the brilliant ocean of ecstatic love of God.

May he who with a joyful heart reads these eight verses opulent with meditation on Sri Navadvipa attain rare love for Sriman Sacinandana's lotus feet.




Let the dear devotees of the Lord rejoice to see these statements glorifying Navadvipa translated into Bengali by Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur.
