ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA<br />
Licensed for Personal Use Only<br />
ior of the fallen, please give this sinner shelter at Your lotus feet. I<br />
dared to envy You. I am so sinful. Now, what is my destiny?”<br />
The ocean of mercy, Lord Nityänanda, placed His lotus feet<br />
on the head of the brähmaëa. Having Nityänanda’s merciful<br />
lotus feet on his head nullified all his offenses. Later on, this<br />
brähmaëa convinced many other thieves to take shelter of Çré<br />
Caitanya’s lotus feet. They gave up the sins of stealing and committing<br />
violence, and they began to behave like saintly persons.<br />
They chanted the holy names of Lord Hari millions of times.<br />
They became expert in performing viñëu-bhakti and were maddened<br />
with prema, always singing the glories of Lord Kåñëa.<br />
Such was the causeless mercy of Lord Nityänanda.<br />
In other incarnations, the Lord did not give such prema,<br />
but Lord Nityänanda convinced everyone to take up Kåñëa consciousness<br />
so that they could attain the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya.<br />
The brähmaëa, who had previously wanted to rob Nityänanda<br />
Svarüpa, now preached to his plunderer friends that<br />
they should accept Nityänanda as their deliverer. The symptoms<br />
of prema, such as the shedding of tears, shivering and the standing<br />
of the hair on end, which are eagerly desired by great mystic<br />
yogés were easily achieved by these plunderers. This is an exhibition<br />
of the wonderful prowess of Nityänanda Svarüpa.<br />
O brothers, please worship the lotus feet of Nityänanda.<br />
Only by His mercy can one attain the lotus feet of Gauräìga.<br />
Anyone who hears about the mercy of Lord Nityänanda will no<br />
doubt achieve the association of Gauracandra. One who attentively<br />
hears about the deliverance of these thieves will certainly<br />
meet Nityänanda and Çré Caitanya. One who happily sings the<br />
glories of Nityänanda Svarüpa will float on the ocean of transcendental<br />
bliss.<br />
Accepting Çré Caitanya and Nityänanda Prabhu as my life<br />
and soul, I, Våndävana däsa, sing the glories of Their lotus feet.<br />
