The Merciful Qualities of a True Vaishnava
Bhajan | A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Verse 1
para-duḥkha-duḥkhī haya vaiṣṇava prasiddha
sei khyāti habe saba pracāre pravṛddha
Verse 2
nitya-siddha kṛṣṇa-bhakti jāgile sabāra
āpani pālābe kali kari' hā-hā-kāra
Verse 3
"prāṇinām upakārāya" mahāprabhu-vāṇī
iha-kāla-parā-kāla sukhera se khani
Verse 4
eta kāja paḍe āche tomādera hāte
ekatre miliyā kārya karaha tāhāte
Verse 5
vāsudeva vipra bale prabhure namiyā
sakala jīvere dāo uddhāra kariyā
Verse 6
tādera saba pāpa-tāpa mo--hīnere dāo
duḥkhī jīvera duḥkha tumi se ghucāo
Verse 7
sei ta vaiṣṇava-śreṣṭha para-duḥkhe duḥkhī
ātmendriya-tṛpti yāhe nahe tārā sukhī
Verse 8
ki dayā karite pāre avaiṣṇava-jana!
aparādhī haya mātra "daridra nārāyaṇa"!
Verse 9
vijñāna-sammata sei vaiṣṇavera dayā
vaiṣṇava-vihīna bhūme māyā duratyayā
Verse 10
viṣṇu-vaiṣṇava-rājya yadi dharāya haya
tabe-i se sukhī loka muni-ṛṣi kaya
Verse 1
The Vaisnavas are famous as para-duhkha-duhkhih. This fame will increase as the preaching increases.
Verse 2
If eternally pure devotional service to Krsna is awakened in everyone, then Kali will flee, screaming, of his own accord.
Verse 3
Praninam upakaraya: do work for the benefit of all living beings. This is Mahaprabhu’s teaching. This is the storehouse of happiness in this life and the next.
Verse 4
So which work has fallen into your hands, gather together and do it.
Verse 5
Vasudeva Datta said to the Lord, paying his obeisances: “Save all the living beings in the material world.
Verse 6
“Give all their sins and sufferings to me, who am the lowest of all. In this way all the miseries of the suffering conditioned souls will end.”
Verse 7
He was the best of Vaisnavas, para-duhkha-duhkhi. He knew that there is no real happiness in gratifying the senses.
Verse 8
And what kind of mercy can the non-Vaisnava have? He simply makes offenses by his daridra-narayana philosophy.
Verse 9
The mercy of the Vaisnavas is scientific and authorized. Without the Vaisnavas’ mercy, this world is simply insurmountable Maya.
Verse 10
If there is a kingdom of Visnu and Vaisnavas on the surface of the earth, then the world will be happy. So say all the great sages and Rsis.
