    (1) All glories, all glories to the beautiful arati ceremony of Lord Caitanya. This Gaura-arati is taking place in
    a grove on the banks of the Jahnavi [Ganges] and is attracting the minds of all living entities in the universe.

    (2) On Lord Caitanya’s right side is Lord Nityananda, and on His left is Sri Gadadhara. Nearby stands Sri
    Advaita, and Srivasa Thakura is holding an umbrella over Lord Caitanya’s head.

    (3) Lord Caitanya has sat down on a jeweled throne, and the demigods, headed by Lord Brahma, perform the
    arati ceremony.

    (4) Narahari Sarakara and other associates of Lord Caitanya fan Him with camaras, and devotees headed
    by Sanjaya Pandita, Mukunda Datta, and Vasu Ghosha sing sweet kirtana.

    (5) Conchshells, bells, and karatalas resound, and the mridangas play very sweetly. This kirtana music
    is supremely sweet and relishable to hear.

    (6) The brilliance of Lord Caitanya’s face conquers millions upon millions of moons, and the garland of
    forest flowers around His neck shines.

    (7) Lord Siva, Sukadeva Gosvami, and Narada Muni are all there, and their voices are choked with the ecstasy
    of transcendental love. Thus Thakura Bhaktivinoda envisions the glory of Lord Sri Caitanya.

    Translation:

    (1) Just worship Sri Gaurahari, who is always affectionate toward His devotees. He is the same Supreme
    Godhead, Krishna, who sported in the cowherd pastures of Vraja and stole the hearts of Nanda and Yasoda.

    (2) Mother Yasoda calls to Krishna, "My dear Damodara, it is very late. Please come right now, sit down in
    the dining hall, and take Your lunch."

    (3) On the direction of Nanda Maharaja, Krishna, the holder of Govardhana Hill, sits down, and then all
    the cowherd boys, along with Krishna's elder brother, Sri Baladeva, sit down in rows to take their lunch.

    (4) They are then served a feast of sukta and various kinds of green leafy vegetables, then nice fried things, and
    a salad made of the green leaves of the jute plant. They are also served pumpkin, baskets of fruit, small
    square cakes made of lentils and cooked-down milk, then thick yogurt, squash cooked in milk, and
    vegetable preparations made from the flower of the banana tree.

    (5) Then they receive fried squares of mung dahl patties, and urad dahl patties, capatis, and rice with ghee.
    Next, sweets made with milk, sugar, and sesamum; rice flour cakes; thick cooked-down milk; cakes floating
    in milk; and sweet rice.

    (6) There is also sweet rice that tastes just like nectar due to its being mixed with camphor. There are
    bananas, and cheese which is nectarean and delicious. They are also served twelve kinds of sour
    preparations made with tamarinds, limes, lemons, oranges, and pomegranates.

    (7) There are puris made with white flour and sugar; puris filled with cream; laddus; and dahl patties boiled
    in sugared rice. Krishna eagerly eats all of the food.]

    (8) In great ecstasy and joy Krishna eats the rice, curried vegetables, sweets, and pastries cooked by
    Srimati Radharani.

    (9) Krishna’s funny brahmana friend Madhumangala, who is very fond of laddus, gets them by hook or by
    crook. Eating the laddus, he shouts, "Haribol! Haribol!" and makes a funny sound by slapping his sides under
    his armpits with his hands.

    (10) Beholding Radharani and Her gopi friends out of the corners of His eyes, Krishna eats at the house of
    mother Yasoda with great satisfaction.

    (11) After lunch, Krishna drinks rose-scented water. Then all of the boys, standing in lines, wash their mouths.

    (12) After all the cowherd boys wash their hands and mouths, in great bliss they take rest with Lord Balarama.

    (13) The two cowherd boys Jambula and Rasala then bring Krishna pan made with betel nuts, fancy spices,
    and catechu. After eating that pan, Sri Krishnacandra then happily goes to sleep.

    (14) While Krishna happily takes His rest on an excellent bedstead, His servant Visalaksha cools Him with a fan
    of peacock feathers.

    (15) At mother Yasoda’s request the gopi Dhanishtha brings remnants of food left on Krishna’s plate to
    Srimati Radharani, who eats them with great delight.

    (16) Lalita-devi and the other gopis then receive the remnants, and within their hearts they sing the glories
    of Radharani and Krishna with great joy.

    (17) Thakura Bhaktivinoda, whose one and only joy is the pastimes of Lord Hari, sings this Bhoga-arati song.

    of Yours as my only shelter.

    (3) Slay me or protect me as You wish, for You are the master of Your eternal servant.

    (4) If it is Your will that I be born again, then may it be in the home of Your devotee.

    (5) May I be born again even as a worm, so long as I may remain Your devotee. I have no desire to be born as
    a Brahma averse to You.

    (6) I yearn for the company of that devotee who is completely devoid of all desire for worldly enjoyment
    or liberation.

    (7) Father, mother, lover, son, Lord, preceptor, and husband; You are everything to me.

    all over, lose bodily color, tears pouring from my eyes, when, oh when will that day be mine?

    5) When in Navadvipa along the Ganges bank, shouting ‘Gaura-Nityananda’ as a surrendered soul,
    dancing, chanting, running everywhere, when will I become half mad of mind? When, oh when will that day
    be mine?

    6) When will Lord Nityananda show mercy upon me, when will I reject the world of maya? Bestow unto me
    the shade of Your lotus feet, let the right to preach the name be mine. When, oh when will that day be mine?

    7) I will beg, borrow, or steal the nectar of the name. By the name’s effect I will feel paralyzed. Oh! Enjoyer of
    the nectar of the name, When will I touch your lotus feet till the end of time? When, oh when will that day
    be mine?

    8) When kindness to all beings will be appearing, with free heart forget myself comforting, Bhaktivinoda in
    all humility prays, "Now I will set out to preach Your order sublime." When, oh when will that day be mine?

    1)
     The dust of the lotus feet of pure devotees, enthusiatic devotional service, and service to the pure devotees
    of the highest order are the roots of the creeper of devotion.

    2)
     The holy days like Ekadasi and Janmashtami are the mother of devotion for those devotees who respect
    them. Let the holy places of Krishna’s pastimes be my places of worship, and bless me.

    3)
     May I always visit all the holy places associated with the lila of Lord Caitanya and His devotees.

    4)
     When I hear the sound of the mridanga in my heart I always desire to join in kirtana; and when I hear
    the bonafide songs decribing Lord Caitanya’s pastimes, my heart dances in ecstasy.

    5)
     Whenever I see the transcendental sri-vigrahas of Radha-Krishna I am in bliss, for by taking Their
    Lordships’ prasada we can conquer over the material elements.


    6)
     One day while performing devotional practices, I saw my house transformed into Goloka Vrindavana. When
    I take the caranamrita of the Deity, I see the holy Ganges waters that come from the feet of Lord Vishnu, and
    my bliss knows no bounds.

    7)
     By seeing the tulasi tree my heart feels joy and Lord Madhava (Krishna) is also satisfied. When I eat the
    prasada favored by Lord Caitanya it is a new life’s experience. (Lord Caitanya was very fond of a green
    vegetable preparation called sak, and there is another song in this book that tells of the amazing effects of this
    type of prasada.)

    8)
     Bhaktivinoda concludes by saying: "Whosoever attains the stage of enthusiasm for these devotional
    practices will be supremely blissful wherever he may be."
