PRAYER TO READ AFTER CHANTING JAPA.

guhyaati guhya-goptaa twaam

grhaanaasmat-krtam japam

siddhir bhavatu me deva

twat-prasaadaat twayi sthite

Translation:  O my Lord, You are the secret of secrets

and a keeper of secrets.

Please accept the japa I have chanted as an offering to You.

Please be merciful and let me attain the same perfection

attained by those who are fixed in Your service.

vibhävari shesha, äloka-pravesha,
nidrä chäri' uthho jiva
bolo hari hari, mukunda muräri,
räma krishna hayagriva

The night has come to an end and the light of dawn is entering. O jiva soul, arise and give up your sleep. Chant the holy names of Lord Hari, who is the giver of liberation; the enemy of the Mura demon; the supreme enjoyer; the all-attractive one; and the horse-headed incarnation, Hayagriva.

nrisimha vämana, shri-madhusüdana,
brajendra-nandana shyäma
pütanä-ghätana, kaithabha-shätana,
jaya däsharathi-räma

Lord Hari [Krishna] incarnated as the half-man, half-lion, Nrisimha. He appeared as a dwarf-brähmana named Upendra and is the killer of the Madhu demon. He is the beloved son of the King of Vraja, Nanda Mahäräja, and is blackish in complexion. He is the slayer of the Pütanä witch and the destroyer of the demon Kaithabha. All glories to Lord Hari, who appeared as Lord Räma, the son of King Dasharatha.

yashodä duläla, govinda-gopäla,
vrindävana purandara
gopi-priya-jana, rädhikä-ramana,
bhuvana -sundara-bara

He is the darling of mother Yashodä; the giver of pleasure to the cows, land, and spiritual senses; and the protector of the cows. He is the Lord of the Vrindävana forest; the gopis' beloved; the lover of Rädhikä; and the most beautiful personality in all the worlds.

rävänäntakara, mäkhana-taskara,
gopi-jana-vastra-häri
brajera räkhäla, gopa-vrinda-päla,
citta-häri bamshi-dhäri

As Rämacandra He brought about the end of the demoniac King Rävana; as Krishna He stole the older gopis' butter; He stole the younger gopis' clothes while they were bathing in the Yamunä. He is a cowherd boy of Vraja and the protector of the cowherd boys. He steals the hearts of all and always holds a flute.

yogindra-bandana, shri-nanda-nandana,
braja-jana-bhaya-häri
navina nirada, rüpa manohara,

Lord Krishna is worshiped by the best of yogis and is the son of Nanda. He removes all the fears of the inhabitants of Vraja. He is the color of a fresh rain cloud, and His form is enchanting. When He wanders about, playing His flute, He looks very charming.

yashodä-nandana, kamsa-nisüdana,
nikunja-räsa-viläsi
kadamba-känana, räsa-paräyana,
brinda-vipina-niväsi

He is the son of Yashodä and the killer of King Kamsa, and He sports in the räsa dance among the groves of Vraja. Krishna engages in this räsa dance underneath the kadamba trees, and He resides in the forest of Vrindävana.

änanda-vardhana, prema-niketana,
phula-shara-jojaka käma
gopänganä-gana, citta-vinodana,
samasta-guna-gana-dhäma

He increases the ecstasy of His devotees. He is the reservoir of all love and is the transcendental Cupid who uses His flowered arrows to increase the loving desires of the gopis. He is the pleasure of the gopis' hearts and the abode of all wonderful qualities.

jämuna-jivana, keli-paräyana,
mänasa-candra-cakora
näma-sudhä-rasa, gäo krishna-jasha
räkho vacana mana mora

Lord Krishna is the life of the River Yamunä. He is always absorbed in amorous pastimes, and He is the moon of the gopis' minds, which are like the cakora birds that subsist only upon moonlight. O mind, obey these words of mine and sing the glories of SHri Krishna in the form of these holy names, which are full of nectarean mellows.

1) When the rising sun appeared in the East, the jewel of the twice-born, Lord Gaurasundara, awakened, and, taking His devotees with Him, He went all over the countryside towns and villages
2) and played the mrdanga, and the cymbals chimed in time. Lord Gauranga's shimmering golden features danced, and His foot bells jingled.
3) All the devotees chanted the names Mukunda, Madhava, Yadava and Hari, their mouths being filled with the vibrations. They would announce to the still sleeping people, "You spend your nights uselessly sleeping and your days decorating your bodies!
4) You have achieved such a rare human body, but you do not care for this gift. You remain not serving the darling of Yasoda and slowly Fe]l through your last moments to death.
5) With every rising and setting of the sun, a day passes and is lost. Then, why do you remain idle and not serve the Lord of the heart?
6) This temporary life is full of various miseries. Take shelter of the holy name as your only business.
7) To penetrate the darkness of ignorance and bless everyone's heart, the holy name has risen like the shining sun.
8) Drink the pure nectar of the holy name. There is nothing but the name to be had in the fourteen worlds. It has filled the soul of Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura.

Jiv Jago song.
1
jiv jago, jiv jago, gauracanda bole
kota nidra jao maya-pisacira kole
2
bhajibo boliya ese samsara-bhitare
bhuliya rohile tumi avidyara bhare
3
tomare loite ami hoinu avatara
ami bina bandhu ara ke ache tomara
4
enechi ausadhi maya nasibaro lagi'
hari-nama maha-mantra lao tumi magi'
5
bhakativinoda prabhu-carane pariya
sei hari-nama-mantra loilo magiya
1) Lord Gauranga is calling, "Wake up, sleeping souls! Wake up, sleeping souls! How long will you sleep in the lap of the witch called Maya?
2) You have forgotten the way of devotional service and are lost in the world of birth and death.
3) I have descended just to save you; other than Myself you have no friend in this world.
4) I have brought the medicine that will wipe out the disease of illusion from which you are suffering. Take this maha-mantra--Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare."
5) Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says: "I fall at the Lord's feet, having taken this maha-mantra."
