GOPINATHA
by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura
1) O Gopinatha, Lord of the gopis, please hear my request. I am a wicked
materialist, always addicted to worldly desires, and no good qualities do I
possess.
2) 0 Gopinatha, You are my only hope, and therefore I have taken shelter at
Your lotus feet. I am now Your eternal servant.
3) 0 Gopinatha, how will You purify me? I do not know what devotion is, and my
materialistic mind is absorbed in fruitive work. I have fallen into this dark
and perilous worldly existence.
4) 0 Gopinatha, everything here is Your illusory energy. I have no strength or
transcendental knowledge, and this body of mine is not independent and free
from the control of material nature.
5) 0 Gopinatha, this sinner, who is weeping and weeping, begs for an eternal
place at Your divine feet. Please give him Your mercy.
6) 0 Gopinatha, You are able to do anything, and therefore You have the power
to deliver all sinners. Who is there that is more of a sinner than myself?
7) 0 Gopinatha, You are the ocean of mercy. Having come into this phenomenal
world, You expand Your divine pastimes for the sake of the fallen souls.
8) 0 Gopinatha, I am so sinful that although all the demons attained Your lotus
feet, Bhaktivinoda has remained in worldly existence.
