Bhaktivinoda Thakur has written this song ”Tuwa Bhakti Anukula”. The official Name for this song is ”Bhakti Anukula Matra Karyera Svikara Song 1″. This song is taken from the book Saranagati. Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that one should engage in Krishna’s activities and be away from materialistic activities. One should also offer the food to Gopal and eat the offered food. Eating and smelling the remnants will control our senses. We should use our hands in the service of Govinda.

tuwa-bhakti-anukula je-je karya hoy
parama-jatane taha koribo niscoy

sunibo tomara katha jatana koriya
dekhibo tomara dhama nayana bhoriya

tomara prasade deho koribo posan
naivedya-tulasi-ghrana koribo grahan
 
(5)
kara-dware koribo tomara seva sada
tomara vasati-sthale basibo sarvada
