Translation
His Divine Grace Srila Gour Govinda Swami Srila Gurudeva

It is said that Nityananda Prabhu is more merciful, more magnanimous, more munificent than Gauranga Mahaprabhu. So we are singing that song, Nitai guna-mani amara, nitai guna mani.

1-2. Lochan dasa Thakura says, “Nitai came to Gauda-desa with a flood of prema, with a flood of love of Godhead, a flood of krsna-prema. And with that flood, He came and inundated the whole land. dubilo bhakata-gana dina hina bhase, those who are devotees they all drowned, they all drowned in that flood.”

3. Indiscriminately Nityananda Prabhu offers this pure love of Godhead, pure love of Krsna. He never discriminates whether one is patita or pamara, most degraded, qualified or not qualified. Brahmar durlabha prema, even it is very difficult on the part of Brahma to get such prema. But Nitai gives indiscriminately.

4. It is said, He cut down, He cut down the embankment, the strong embankment of the ocean of love. That ocean of love is an unlimited ocean of love. And Nityananda Prabhu cut down that strong embankment so there was a heavy rush, flow, a flood in every home. That flood came to every home, ghare ghare bule prema-amiyar ban.

5. Lochan Dasa Thakura says, “He is an unfortunate fellow who doesn’t take shelter of Nitai, Nityananda Prabhu and doesn’t do the bhajana of Nityananda Prabhu. So he willingly commits self-suicide, atma-ghati hoilo.”

Commentary
A Flood of Prema!
His Divine Grace Srila Gour Govinda Swami Srila Gurudeva

Do you want to remain an asura? Why? Nonsense! In Mahaprabhu’s movement asuras are not there. Mahaprabhu killed the demoniac propensities in the heart through the sankirtan weapon.

patita pasandi prana na marilo kare, harinama
diya hrdaya sodilo jachhe giya ghare ghare

Such a merciful incarnation is Mahaprabhu, isn't it? He never cuts anybody's throat and never uses any weapon. In other incarnations He uses weapons to cut the throat but in Mahaprabhu's incarnation, Gauranga, Gaura avatara, nothing.

Sankirtan! Going to every door step He gives this sankirtan. Chant!

hare krsna hare krsna krsna hare hare
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare

This is the most powerful weapon, baba! Most powerful weapon. More powerful than atomic bombs, atomic, atomic bombs, yes. Why are you remaining asuras? This powerful weapon is not acting on you? Ha! Ha! Why so callous! Such callousness, why it prevails in you? Ha! What is that? He wants completely new body. Yes. We will cut off his head, yes, and put a new head.

Even angu, pangu, jada! In Mahaprabhu’s movement, angu, pangu, jada, the blindman, lame man and cripple they got. Jada means those who are callous, they all got! Why are you an exception? Even women, old men, invalid, old, young men, boys, they all drowned in the inundation of prema!

Aniya premer banya. What are you hearing? Bhasailo avani, isn’t it? Aniya premer banya bhasailo avani, Gaura-Nitai, They brought an inundation, a flood of prema. The whole world, avani, became inundated. Stree, budia, balaka, jura, asakali dubhya, all drowned in that flood, inundation. Women, old men, invalid, boys, small boys, kids, young men, all were drowned but you, no.

Ill fated, ill fated isn’t it? Ill fated, ill fated, ill fated. Mahaprabhu is so wonderfully merciful. Gaura-Nitai is more than that. Nitai is more merciful than Mahaprabhu.

nitai guna mani amar, nitai guna mani,
aniya premer banya bhasailo avani,

Your mouths are sewn? Ahh nonsense.

aniya premer banya bhasailo avani,

premer banya loiya nitai aila gauda-dese,
dubilo bhakata-gana dina hina bhase

dina hina patita pamara nahi bachhe
brahmar durlabha prema sabakare jache

abaddha karuna-sindhu nitai katiya muhan
ghare ghare bule prema-amiyar ban

lochan bole mor nitai jeba na bhajilo
janiya suniya sei atma-ghati hoilo

Bolo! Sab bolo! Saba bolo! All should sing!

nitai guna-mani amar, nitai guna-mani
aniya premer banya bhasailo avani

lochan bole mor nitai jeba na bhajilo
janiya suniya sei atma-ghati hoilo

Nitai is so merciful, aniya premer banya bhasailo avani. He brought an inundation of prema and made the whole world inundated. But you are an exception, the whole world was inundated, but you are an exception! No, you also drunk? What do you say?

Are baba! Flood came! Flood! Your pot may be leaking but it must float on the flood!

premer banya loiya nitai aila gauda-dese,
dubilo bhakata-gana dina hina bhase

Nitai came to Gauda-desa, Bengal bringing that inundation of prema. The bhaktas they become completely drowned, but the dina hina floated. Understand? Dina hina, the fallen souls they float, they float.

dina hina patita pamara nahi bachhe
brahmar durlabha prema sabakare jache

Nitai never discriminates whether one is patita or pamara, most degraded, most fallen or most elevated. He never discriminates. Nitai offers this prema, love of Godhead, which is very rarely obtainable, durlabha, even on the part of Brahma, but Nitai offers prema to one and all without discrimination.

abaddha karuna-sindhu nitai katiya muhan
ghare ghare bule prema-amiyar ban

There was a very strong embankment, a dam, dam, dam, strong dam, concrete dam. That karuna-sindhu. Sindhu means ocean. An ocean of mercy. A very strong concrete dam was there but when Nitai came, He cut-off that dam! Completely devastated that dam! Then a heavy rush was flowing, heavy rush! Gush! Gush! Gush! When the dam was devastated and completely cut, such a flood came! A heavy rush, it was gushing! Ghare ghare bule, to every house, prema-amiyar ban. That means high tide, high tide came, high tide like a mountain. Like a tide in every house it was moving, yes!

lochan bole mor nitai jeba na bhajilo
janiya suniya sei atma-ghati hoilo

Lochan dasa Thakura says, “Such is Nitai, Nitai is such...

akrodha paramananda nityananda raya
abhimana sunya nitai nagare bedaya

adhama patita jiver dware dware giya
harinama maha mantra dena bilaiya

jare dekhe tare kahe dante trna dhori'
amare kiniya laha bhaja gaurahari

eta boli’ nityananda bhume gadi jaya
sonara parvata jena dhulate lotaya

hena avatare jar rati na janmilo
lochana bole sei papi ela ar gelo

Why don’t you sing these nice songs? Worthless fellows, worthless fellows. These are such nice songs. Don’t you glorify Nitai, who is so merciful? How will you get mercy?

Such degraded worms in the stool, worms in the stool, worse than that, worse than worms in the stool you are. Who will shower mercy on you? Without Nityananda, only Nityananda showers, nobody else baba! Unless you glorify Nityananda how will you get mercy, baba! You are worms in the stool, less than that, worse then that, isn’t it? Worse then that. Who will shower mercy? Nityananda bine. Such is Nityananda, isn’t it? Such is Nityananda.

amare kiniya laha bhaja gaurahari

eta boli’ nityananda bhume gadi jaya
sonara parvata jena dhulate lotaya

hena avatare jar rati na janmilo
lochana bole sei papi ela ar gelo

Nice songs of Nityananda by Lochana dasa Thakura, lochan bole hena nitai jeba na bhajilo, janiya suniya sei atma-ghati hoilo. Such is Nitai. He is so wonderfully merciful. He is more merciful than Gaura. If somebody does not glorify Nitai, does not do the bhajana of Nitai - sei papi, janiya suniya, deliberately, deliberately he kills himself, he kills himself, kills himself, yes. Jeba na bhajilo janiya suniya sei atma-ghati hoilo. So wonderfully merciful is Nitai, more merciful than Gaura. If some ill-fated, ill-fated, hata-bhagya, doesn’t do the bhajana of Nitai, doesn’t beg the mercy of Nitai, he deliberately kills himself, atma-ghati-hoilo. He commits self-suicide.

Nitai’s mercy! Isn’t it?

Nityananda Mahajana Ki Jaya!
Patita-Pavana Nityananda Ki Jaya!
