[Paramananda das]

Please accept my humble obaisences

Jaya Sri Guru and Gauranga, Jaya Gandharvika Giridhari

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Srila Gaura Kisora Babaji has been stated to not read  many sastras but many Gaudiya Vaisnavas say he kept Prema Bhakti Chandrika and Parthana by Srila Narottama das Thakura for constant reading:

Please enjoy the the beautiful samadhi pic  http://www.bvml.org/SSSGDBM/rp.html

When ever I start reading Prema Bhakti Chandrika and Prarthana again after maybe many months I feel very much ashamed of myself,I should be reading these books daily

1 tumi ta dayara sindhu adhama-janera bandhu   more prabhu kara abadhana   padinu asat-bhole kama-timingile gile   ohe natha kara paritrana

O Lord, You are an ocean of mercy.  You are the friend of the fallen souls.   Please notice me.  I have become like a non devotee, swallowed by the timingila   fish of lust.  O Lord, please protect me.

2  javat janama mora  aparadhe hainu bhora   niskapate na bhajinu toma   tathapi ha tumi gat  na chadiha prana-pati   mora sama nahika adhama

In every birth I repeatedly offended You.  In every birth I failed to   worship You sincerely. No one is as fallen as I.  Nevertheless, You are   the only goal of my life.  O Lord of my life, please do not abandon me.

3  patita-pabana nama  ghosana tomara syama   upekhile nahi mora gati   jadi hana aparadhi  tathapiha tumi gati   satya satya jena satyira pati

O Lord, You are known as Patita-pavana, the deliverer of the fallen, and You   are also known as Syamasundara.  Please do not ignore my appeal.    Even if I am an offender, I think that You are the real goal of life.    That is the truth.

4  tumi ta parama deba  nahi more upekhiba   suna suna pranera iswara   jadi karon aparaadha  tathapiha tumi natha   seba diya kara anucara

O Supreme Personality of Godhead, please do not neglect me.  O master   of my life, please hear my words.  Even if I have committed offenses to   You, I always think of You as my master.  Please allow me to serve You   as Your associate and follower.

5  kame mora hata cita nahi jane ni ja hita   manera na ghuce durbasana   more natha angikuru  tumi bancha-kalpa-taru   karuna dekhuka sarba-jana

Lust has destroyed my mind.  I do not know what is actually beneficial   for me.  O Lord, You glance mercifully on all living entities and You are   like a desire tree fulfilling the desires of everyone.  Please accept me   as Your servant.

6  mo-sama patita nai tribhuvane dekha cai   narottama-pavana nama dhara   ghusuka samsare nama  patita-uddhara syama   nija-dasa kara giridhara

O Lord, You will not see anyone in these three planetary systems who is as   fallen as I.  O Lord, please accept the name "Narottama-pavana" (the   deliverer of Narottama), and let that name be broadcast throughout the material   world.  O Lord Syamasundara, O lifter of Govardhana Hill, O deliverer of   the fallen, please accept me as Your servant.

7  narottama bada duhkhi  natha more kara sukhi   tomara bhajana sankirtane   antaraya nahi jaya  ei sei parama bhaya   nivedana kari anuksana

Narottama dasa is very unhappy.  O Lord please engage him in Your sankirtana   movement and thus make him happy.  O Lord, I am very afraid that I will   not be able to overcome the many obstacles that stop every me from advancing   in devotional service.  O Lord, at every moment I beg You to remove all   those obstacles.

Gaura Kisora das Babaji chanted 128 rounds daily , we should daily bow to his lotusfeet and pray to him we can also one day chant 128 rounds without fail avoiding all offences to Sri Nama Prabhu. There is no better place than at the Samadhi of Srila Gaura Kisora das Babaji to chant Sri Nama 1 to 2 or 3 lahks. We waste so much time in this material world with things that are not directly Krsna bhakti .

Fie on me for not reading the Parthana :

http://www.vrindavan-dham.com/texts/prarthana.php

my dear vaisnava brothers and sisters ,please give up all pride and chant Hare Krsna constantly and hear these books and read them, do not foolishly think you will not gain the result from such sadhana .

humbly at the lotusfeet of Sri Guru. the vaisnavas and Lord Gauranga.

Paramananda das

[Paramananda das]

gora panhu ha bhajiya moinu premaratana shana he laya harainu

adhane yatana kori' dhana teyaginu apana karama dose apani dubinu

sat sanga chadi koinu asate vilasa te-karane lagilo ye karmabandha-phanasa

visama visaya-visa satata khainu goura kirtanarase magana na hainu

keno va achaye prana ki sukha lagiya narottamera dasa keno na gelo mariya

Translation

"Not having worshiped the lotus feet of Lord Gouranga, I have met only death. I have lost the jewel of love of Godhead due to my own negligence. I have only given attention to that which is not real wealth and abandoned that which has actual value. I have stuck within the material world by the reactions of my own karma. Having left real association, I am performing materialistic activities. I have thus become conditioned by the grasp of past karma. I have eaten the poison of material sense gratification over and over again. For this reason I have not become absorbed in the nectar of the congregational chanting of Lord Hari. Why do I remain alive? What is my happiness? Why hasn't Narottama dasa given up his life?
