Carmella Baynie Gopinatha

Gopinatha Part – 1 Gopinath, radhe and krishna Bhaktivinod Thakur has written this song “Gopinath Mama Nivedana Suno”. The official name for this song is Gopinath (Part one). This song is taken from the book Kalyana Kalpataru (Section: Upalabdhi Vijnapti Song 1). Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that we are all sinners at the Lotus feet of Sri Krishna and due to this we have no good qualities in us. We are puppets and have no control over this body. We have no transcendental knowledge. Hence we should bow down at Govinda for His causeless mercy to deliver us from this sinful material land. He enacts different pastimes to help the fallen souls.

(2)Gopinatha啊!你是我唯一希望,因此,我求取你莲花足庇护,现在,我是你的永恒仆人. (3)Gopinatha啊!你怎样净化我呢?我不知道什么是奉爱,我的物质心意专注于果报工作中,我堕进了这个黑暗而危险的世俗存在. (4)Gopinatha啊!这里的一切全是祢的虚幻能量,我既没有力量也没有超然知识,我的这个身体既不能独立,也没有得脱物质自然的控制.

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.
