Text 1gurau gosthe gosthalayisu sujane bhusura-ganesva-mantre sri-namni vraja-nava-yuva-dvandva-saranesada dambham hitva kuru ratim apurvam atitaramaye svantardhatas catubhir abhiyace dhrta-padahO mind, I grasp your feet and beg you with sweet words: Please cast away all hypocrisy and develop intense, unprecedented love for my spiritual master, Vrajabhumi, the people of Vraja, the Vaisnavas, the brahmanas, the Gayatrimantra, the holy name, and the transcendental shelter that is the fresh young couple of Vraja, Radha and Krsna.Text 2na dharmam nadharmam sruti-gana-niruktam kila kuruvraje radha-krsna-pracura-paricaryam iha tanuhsaci-sunum nandisvara-pati-sutatve guru-varammukunda-presthatve smara padam ajasram nanu manahO Mind, don’t concern yourself with the pious and impious deeds described in the Vedas. Rather, intently serve Sri Sri Radha-Krsna in Vraja. Always remember that Lord Caitanya is the son of Maharaja Nanda and that my guruis most dear to Lord Mukunda.Text 3yadiccher avasam vraja-bhuvi sa-ragam prati-januryuva-dvandvam tac cet paricaritum arad abhilasesvarupam sri-rupam sa-ganam iha tasyagrajam apisphutam premna nityam smara nama tada tvam srnu manahO Mind, just listen to me! If you desire to reside in Vraja birth after birth, and if you desire to directly serve the divine youthful couple there with great attraction, then with intense love always remember and bow down to Srila Svarupa Damodara Gosvami; to Srila Rupa Gosvami and his elder brother, Srila Sanatana Gosvami; and to all their associates and followers.Text 4asad-varta-vesya visrja mati-sarvasva-haranihkatha mukti-vyaghrya na srnu kila sarvatma-gilanihapi tyaktva laksmi-pati-ratim ito vyoma-nayanimvraje radha-krsnau sva-rati-mani-dau tvam bhaja manahO mind, give up friendship with nondevotees, which is nothing but a prostitute who will steal the treasure of your heart–your desire to serve Radha-Krsna. Don’t listen to talks of impersonal liberation, which are a tigress who devours everyone. You should even give up attraction for Lord Narayana, which leads to the world of Vaikuntha. Instead, O mind, just worship Sri Sri Radha-Krsna in Vraja, for They bestow upon their worshipers the jewel of pure love for Themselves.Text 5asac-cesta-kasta-prada-vikata-pasalibhir ihaprakamam kamadi-prakata-pathapati-vyatikaraihgale baddhva hanye ’ham iti bakabhid vartmapa-ganekuru tvam phutkaran avati sa yatha tvam mana itahThe highwaymen of lust and his friends have bound me around the neck with the painful, horrible, powerful ropes of many wicked deeds. O mind, please scream out to the devotees of Krsna, the killer of Baka, "I am being killed!" Then He will save me.Text 6are cetah prodyat-kapata-kuti-nati-bhara-khara-ksaran-mutre snatva dahasi katham atmanam api mamsada tvam gandharva-giridhari-pada-prema-vilasat-sudhambhodhau snatva svam api nitaram mam ca sukhayaO Mind, why do you burn us both by bathing in the urine trickling from the ass of great deviousness and hypocrisy? Instead, you should delight us by eternally bathing in the glistening nectar-ocean of pure love for Sri Sri Gandharva-Giridhari (Sri Sri Radha-Krsna).Text 7pratisthasa dhrsta svapaca-ramani me hrdi natetkatham sadhu-prema sprsati sucir etan nanu manahsada tvam sevasva prabhu-dayita-samantam atulamyatha tam niskasya tvaritam iha tam vesayati sahAs long as the impudent untouchable woman of the desire for fame dances in my heart, why should pure love for Radha-Krsna touch me? O mind, continuously serve my spiritual master, the leader of those who are dear to the Lord. Then my master will quickly kick out that harridan and allow that pure love to enter.Text 8yatha dustatvam me darayati sathasyapi krpayayatha mahyam premamrtam api dadaty ujjvalam asauatha sri-gandharva-bhajana-vidhaye prerayati mamtatha gosthe kakva giridharam iha tvam bhaja manahSo That He will mercifully smash my wickedness (even though I am a great rascal), so that He will give me the splendid nectar of transcendental love, and so He will engage me in Sri Radha’s service, please, O mind, with words choked with emotion, worship Lord Giridhari here in Vraja.Text 9mad-isa-nathatve vraja-vipina-candram vraja-vane-svarim tan-nathatve tad-atula-sakhitve tu lalitamvisakham siksali-vitarana-gurutve priya-saro-girindrau tat-preksa-lalita-rati-datve smara manahO mind, please meditate on Krsna, the moon of Vraja forest, as the Lord of my controller, Srimati Radharani. And please meditate upon Srimati Radharani, the queen of Vraja forest, as Krsna’s controller. Also please meditate upon Lalita as the peerless friend of Radha and Krsna, Visakha as the guru who teaches Them many things, and Radha-kunda and Govardhana Hill as two places the mere sight of which bestows charming transcendental love for the divine couple.Text 10ratim gauri-lile api tapati saundarya-kiranaihsaci-laksmi-satyah paribhavati saubhagya-balanaihvasi-karais candravali-mukha-navina-vraja-satihksipaty arad ya tam hari-dayita-radham bhaja manahO mind, please worship Lord Hari’s beloved Radha. With the splendor of Her beauty She makes Rati, Gauri, and Lila burn with envy, with the power of Her good fortune. She defeats Saci, Laksmi, and Satyabhama, and with Her ability to control Krsna She completely eclipses Candravali and the other pious young girls of Vraja.Text 11samam sri-rupena smara-vivasa-radha-giribhrtorvraje saksat-seva-labhana-vidhaye tad-gana-yujohtad-ijyakhya-dhyana-sravana-nati-païcamrtam idamdhayan nitya govardhanam anudinam tvam bhaja manahO mind, in order to attain the direct service of the two divine lovers, Sri Sri Radha-Giridhari, in the company of Their friends, every day you must constantly drink, with Sri Rupa Gosvami, the five nectars of worshiping Them, chanting Their names, meditating on Them, hearing about Them, and bowing down before Them, and every day you must worship Govardhana Hill.Text 12manah-siksa-daikadasaka-varam etam madhurayagira gayaty uccaih samadhi-gata-sarvartha-tati yahsa-yuthah sri-rupanuga iha bhavan gokula-vanejano radha-krsnatula-bhajana-ratnam sa labhateThese eleven excellent instructions to the mind grant all spiritual benedictions. A person who stays with the devotees, follows Srila Rupa Gosvami, and with a sweet voice loudly sings these eleven verses will attain the matchless jewel of direct service to Sri Sri Radha-Krsna in the forest of Gokula.
