Brief Description of Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura

 https://www.iskconbangalore.org/blog/srila-bhaktivinoda-thakura/?

Prayers: Song Two – Longing

(1)

kabe mor subhadina hoibe udoy
brndabana-dhama mama hoibe asroy

When will that auspicious day dawn when I will achieve full shelter in the transcendental abode of Vrndavana?

(2)
ghucibe samsara-jvala, bisaya-basana
baisnabe-samsarge mor puribe kamana

The burning fire of this material world will cease, as well as all desires for sense gratification, for by being with the devotees of the Lord, all my longings will be fulfilled.

(3)
dhulaya dhusara ho’ye hari-samkirtane
matta ho’ye pa’de ro’ba baisnaba-carane

Becoming maddened by their chanting of the holy name of the Lord, I will fall down and roll in the grayish dust at the devotees’ feet.

(4)
kabe sri jamuna-tire kadamba-kanane
heribo jugala-rupa hrdoya-nayane

When, in a kadamba grove on the bank of the Yamuna river, will I behold the beauty of the Divine Couple within the eyes of my heart?

(5)
kabe skahi krpa kori’ jugala-sevay
niyukta koribe more rakhi’ nija pa’y

When will a sakhi show her gracious mercy to me by engaging me in conjugal service, keeping me by the side of her own lotus feet?

(6)

kabe ba jugala-lila ko’ri darasana
premananda-bhare ami ha’ba acetana

And when will I catch a glimpse of Their divine conjugal pastimes? Becoming filled with the ecstasy of pure spiritual love I will lose consciousness.

(7)

kataksana acetana padiya rahibo
apan sarir ami kabe pasaribo?

Falling down, I will remain unconscious for a long time, and i will thus completely forget about my own body.

(8)
uthiya smaribo punah acetana-kale
ja’ dekhinu krsnalila bhasi’ anhki-jale

Getting up I will again remember that sight which I saw while unconscious — I saw the pastimes of Krsna while I was swimming in an ocean of tears.

(9)

kakuti minati kori’ baisnaba-sadane
bolibo bhakati-bindu deha’ e durjane

Making repeated requests in the presence of the devotees, I will ask them to give just one drop of the ocean of devotion to this wicked person.

(10)

sri ananga manjarir carana sarana
e bhakativinoda asa kore’ anuksana

Bhaktivinoda’s incessant longing is for the shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Ananga Manjari. (Original form of Sri Jahnava Devi, Lord Nityananda’s consort and pleasure potency.)
