Jaya Jaya Jagganath

Jaya Jaya Jagganath
By Vasudeva Ghosh


(1)

jaya jaya jagannatha sacira nandana
tri-bhubana kare yagra caran a bandana

(2)

nilacale sankha-cakra-gada-padma-dhara
nadiya-nagare danda-kamandalu-kara

(3)

keha bale purabe rabana badhila
golokera bibhaba lila prakasa karila

(4)

sri-radhara bhaba ebe gora abatara
hare krsna nama gaura karila pracara

(5)

Vasudeva ghosa kahe karo joda hata
ye-i gaura se-i krsna se-i jagannatha

Translation:


1)
Glory, glory to Saci's son, who is Lord Jagannatha Himself! The three worlds bow down before His feet.

2)
In Nilacala He is Jagannatha holding a conch, cakra, club, and lotus. In Nadiya's towns He holds a danda
and kamandalu.

3)
Some wise souls say that in ancient times He killed Ravana. Some say in Gokola He enjoys glorious pastimes.

4)
To taste the ecstasy that Radha feels in Her love for Him, He has now incarnated here in the form of
Lord Gaura. As Lord Gaura He preaches the chanting of the holy names of the Hare Krsn a mantra.

5)
Vasudeva Ghosa says: Folding my hands, I declare: Gauranga is Krsna and He is Jagannatha.
