Jiva Jago Jiva Jago

panchtattva1 , sri krishna caitanya

Bhaktivinod Thakur has written this song Jiva Jago Jiva Jago”. The official Name for this song is Arunodaya Kirtana 2 (Kirtana songs to be sung at dawn). This song is taken from the book Gitavali. Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that Maha prabhu is so humble that He has come down to this material world to deliver all the fallen souls. Sri Caitanya is very merciful He wants all His children to wake up and come with Him to His spiritual abode. He doesn’t want us to suffer so He gave us the special Hare Krsna mantra. Just chant and be happy, remember Sri Krishna, Love Him and then go back to His abode. It is so simple yet we fools don’t relish it.

jīv jāgo, jīv jāgo, gauracānda bole
kota nidrā jāo māyā-piśācīra kole

(2)
bhajibo boliyā ese saḿsāra-bhitare
bhuliyā rohile tumi avidyāra bhare

(3)
tomāre loite āmi hoinu avatāra
āmi binā bandhu āra ke āche tomāra

(4)
enechi auṣadhi māyā nāśibāro lāgi’
hari-nāma mahā-mantra lao tumi māgi’

(5)
bhakativinoda prabhu-caraṇe pariyā
sei hari-nāma-mantra loilo māgiyā

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 Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, 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.”
