This Bengali bhajana was composed by His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Raksaka Sridhara Deva Gosvami Maharaja commemorating the divine appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Sri Sri Gaurasundara Avirbhava Vasare (The Appearance Day of Sri Gaurasundara) (1) aruna vasane, sonara suraja udiche keno re aja vasanta susama, ujari apana dhale keno jagamajha On this day, why has the Golden Sun arisen wearing red cloth? Why has the wonderful season of Spring descended to the earth? (2) taru gulma-lata apurva barata bahe keno phale phule bhrnga o vihange keno heno range sangita taranga tule Why are all the trees, shrubs and creepers full of fruits and flowers? Why do the birds and bees sing their songs with such bliss? (3) patita durjana keno re garjana ullase phatiya pade vidya kula dhana abhimani jana keno mlana duhkha bhare Why are the most fallen and wicked people now effulgent and full of happiness? Why have those with great knowledge, noble birth, material wealth, and great pride become so unfortunate? (4) akasa vatasa ghucaiya trasa asvase bhasaye deya sadhu-jana mana sukha vitarana avese unmada haya A heavenly wind has dispelled all worries and has brought hope, and the sadhus have become mad with a bliss that is spreading everywhere. (5) caudikete dhvani ki apurva suni bahu-jana uccarola hare krsna rama nama divya-dhama hari hari hari bala Never before has such a sound been heard – from all directions, a thousand voices chanting the Names of Hare, Krsna and Rama! Everywhere becomes the divine abode of the Holy Name. Hari Hari Hari bol!!! (6) phalguni purnima hindola rangima sujana-bhajana rage sankirtana sane marama gahane na jani ki bhava jage During the full Moon of the month of Phalguna, on the colorful day of the swing festival, the devotees worship the Lord with love. No one can comprehend the feelings and sunstance that awakens within the heart from this sankirtana. (7) sandhya samagama tapana magana keno hema ghana kole aparupa kata purava parvata suvarna candrama bhale As twilight nears, the warm sun sets; but why is his golden hue embraced by a dark cloud? That indescribably beautiful Golden Moon has arisen, illuminating the eastern mountains. (8) suvarna candrama pasiche nilima se nila bilina heme ithe kiba bhaya sadhu-jana gaya kalanka na rahe preme The Golden Moon covers the dark blue sky, and its darkness disappears into gold. At that moment the sadhus sing that divine love has descended and no contamination can remain. (9) mahajane bale grahanera chale sange nama sankirtana gaura-candrodaya papa rahu ksaya candra-sobha prema dhana The mahajanas have explained that this eclipse is a trick to make everyone chant the Holy Name in sankirtana. When Gauracandra descended, the sins of Rahu were destroyed and the moon was filled with the wealth of illustrious love for Krsna. (10) marmmajna sakale kahe kutuhale nilima bilina cande channa avatara lukana kahara radha-ruci-rupa-cande All those who understand the essence of everything become ecstatic when the Dark Blue hides within Moon. He is the hidden avatara who hides Himself under the moon of the effulgent beauty of the love of Sri Radha. (11) ithe hena stuti radha-bhava dyuti suvalita syamarao udilo gauranga nama-prema sanga jaya jaya gora gao This prayer is to the beautiful Lord Syama, who now has the heart and halo of Sri Radha – Gauranga, who had descended and brought nama-prema (love for the Holy Name). Continuously chant, “Jaya Jaya Gaura!” Source
