Giriraj Swami explained the meaning and Bada Haridasa Prabhu led the singing of Sri Sri Gaura-Nityanander Daya by Srila Locana dasa Thakura.
- The two Lords, Nitai-Gauracandra, are very merciful. They are the essence of all incarnations. The specific significance of these incarnations is that They introduced a process of chanting and dancing that is simply joyful.
- My dear brothers, I request that you just worship Lord Caitanya and Nityananda with firm conviction and faith. If one wants to be Krishna conscious by this process, one has to give up his engagement in sense gratification. Become absorbed in worshiping Lord Caitanya and Nityananda and simply chant, “Hare Krishna! Hari Hari!” without any material motive.
- My dear brothers, just try and examine this. Within the three worlds there is no one like Lord Caitanya or Lord Nityananda. Their merciful qualities are so great that upon hearing them even birds and beasts cry and stones melt.
- But I, Locana dasa, regret that I am entrapped by sense gratification. I have no attraction for the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda, and therefore Yamaraja, the superintendent of death, is punishing me by not allowing me to be attracted by this movement.
