Ataeva Tanra Nahe ‘nirjana Bhajana’
Bhajan | Traditional
Verse 1
ataeva tāṇra nahe ‘nirjana-bhajana’
kaniṣṭha-adhikāra ei jagat-vañcana
Verse 2
baḍa baḍa nāmajādā vaiṣṇava-sajjāya
pādrī sāheb āsi’ mile saba tāya
Verse 3
puchila śrī kṛṣṇalīlā vṛndāvana-mājha
nā bhujāla tā’re tattva vaiṣṇava-samāja
Verse 4
kaniṣṭha-adhikārī saba śāstra nāhi bhujhe
nirjane bhajanae śudhu ruti-cānā khuṅje
Verse 1
Therefore the real devotees of the Lord do not perform the so-called solitary worship of the Lord but always stay active in the saṅkīrtan movement of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. It is a cheating process of the kaniṣṭha adhikāri - the neophte or materialistic devotees of the Lord - to fool the world into believing that they are exalted devotees of the Lord.
Verse 2
All the big big famous Vaisnavas were in assembly. Once, Padri Saheb (a high Christian priest) came in to meet them.
Verse 3
…and asks what are the pastimes of Lord Kṛṣṇa performed in the sacred land of vṛndāvana? Because the society of neophytes did not explain the real nature of Lord Kṛṣṇa to this “Father”, he gets the wrong understanding due to his poor fund of knowledge, and thus engages in blasphemy to the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
Verse 4
Actually these neophyte kaniṣṭha adhikāri devotees of the Lord don’t understand the conclusions of the revealed scriptures at all. For one engaged in their so-called renunciation, to perform some “advanced private worship”, all their activities reveal is a day today struggle for finding some capatis and dhal (bread and soup), and nothing more.
