"Wake Up Sleeping Souls!"

(1)

jiv jago, jiv jago, gauracanda bole
kota nidra jao maya-pisacira kole

[Lord Gauraṅga is calling, "Wake up, sleeping souls! Wake up, sleeping souls! How long will you sleep in the lap of the witch called Maya?"]

(2)

bhajibo boliya ese samsara-bhitare
bhuliya rohile tumi avidyara bhare

["You have forgotten the way of devotional service and are lost in the world of birth and death."]

(3)

tomare loite ami hoinu avatara
ami bina bandhu ara ke ache tomara

[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 dissease 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."]
