Sri Chaitanya Bhakti Songs (Chanting his Name) !

Chant the Name of the Lord and his glory unceasingly,

That the mirror of the heart may be wiped clean

And quenched that mighty forest fire,

Worldly lust, raging furiously within.



O Name, stream down in moonlight on the lotus heart,

Opening its cup to knowledge of thyself.

O self, drown deep in the waves of his bliss,

Chanting his Name continually,

Tasting his nectar at every step,

Bathing in his Name, that bath for weary souls.

In each and every Name thy power resides.

No times are set, no rites are needful,

For chanting of thy Name,

So vast is thy mercy.

~Sri Chaitanya
