hare krishna

(1) 
Glory to the sri-krishna-sankirtana, which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death. This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious.

namnam akari bahudha nija-sarva-shaktis
tatrarpita niyamitah smarane na kalah
etadrisi tava kripa bhagavan mamapi
durdaivam idrisam ihajani nanuragah


榮耀歸於齊頌聖主之名 Krishna 之名.為我們的心拭淨經年的積塵,熄去條件化生命

的火焰 ~ 生死輪迴的火焰,這運動傳播月亮恩澤的光芒,是全人類最大的福祉.這是

一切超然知識的生命,充盈超然喜樂的海洋,而且讓我們充分嘗到常常渴望的甘露.

(2) 
O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names, like Krishna and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for chanting these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily approach You by Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no attraction for them.

trinad api sunichena
taror api sahishnuna
amanina manadena
kirtaniyah sada harih 

主啊! 只是您的聖名便能沐生物以福祉,

因此,您有千萬如 Krishna 或 Govinda 那樣的名字.

祢將一切超然的能量,賦予這些超然的名字.

唱頌這些聖名並無硬性的規則.

主啊! 由於您的仁慈,祢讓我們唱頌您的聖名,能輕易的接近您.

可是,我太不幸,這些聖名吸引不了我.


(3) 
One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.

na dhanam na janam na sundarim
kavitam va jagad-isha kamaye
mama janmani janmanisvare
bhavatad bhaktir ahaituki tvayi 

一個人應該以謙卑的心情唱頌主的聖名,將自己當做是道路旁的一根茅草.

一個人應該比一棵樹還要寬容,擯棄一切虛榮感,隨時向別人致敬.

這樣,便可不斷唱頌主的聖名.


(4) 
O almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor do I desire beautiful women, nor do I want any number of followers. I only want Your causeless devotional service, birth after birth.

ayi nanda-tanuja kinkaram
patitam mam vishame bhavambudhau
kripaya tava pada-pankaja-
sthita-dhuli-sadrisham vicintaya 

全能的主啊! 我無意累積財富,也不想追求漂亮的女人,更不希罕任何追隨者.

nayanam galad-ashru-dharaya
vadanam gadgada-ruddhaya gira
pulakair nicitam vapuh kada
tava-nama-grahane bhavishyati 

我只希望,一日又一日,一世復一世,為您做無緣的奉獻服務.


(5)
O son of Maharaja Nanda [Krishna], I am Your eternal servitor, yet somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms at Your lotus feet.

南達大君之子 (Krishna) 呀! 我是您的永恆僕人,

但不知怎麼的,我跌落生死苦海.

請從生死苦海中提起我,並將我如一顆原子般放在您的蓮花足下.


(6) 
O my Lord, when will my eyes be decorated with tears of love flowing constantly when I chant Your holy name? When will my voice choke up, and when will the hairs of my body stand on end at the recitation of Your name?

yugayitam nimeshena
chakshusha pravrishayitam
sunyayitam jagat sarvam
govinda-virahena me 

主啊! 何時我才會一面唱頌您的聖名,一面為愛您而掛著不停湧流的淚?

何時我才會頌不成聲? 何時才會為頌您的聖名,而毛髮直豎?


(7) 
O Govinda! Feeling Your separation, I am considering a moment to be like twelve years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence.

aslishya va pada-ratam pinashtu mam
adarshanan marma-hatam karotu va
yatha tatha va vidadhatu lampato
mat-prana-nathas tu sa eva napara 

Govinda 呀! 與祢分離,一刻更甚一紀.我淚如雨瀉,

祢不在,整個世界空虛起來.


(8)
 I know no one but Krishna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly by His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord, unconditionally.

除了 Krishna 誰也不是我的主,

即使祂擁抱我時,對我粗暴, 離開我時,讓我心碎; 祂仍然是我的主.

祂喜歡怎樣就怎樣,因為祂是我無條件崇拜的主.
