The Secret of Lord Chaitanya’s Enemies by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur

The Secret of Lord Chaitanya’s Enemies by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur

jakhona āsena kṛṣṇa jība uddhārite
saṅge saba sahacara āse pṛthivīte

When Krishna comes to deliver the fallen souls, then all His associates and followers also come with Him to the surface of the earth.

gorā abatāre tāṅra śrī-jaya-bijoya
nabadwīpe śatru-bhābe hoilo udoya

Along with this fair incarnation, His own devotees Jaya and Vijaya have appeared in Navadvipa (as Jagai and Madhai), in the mood of being the enemy of the Lord.

pūrbe pūrbe abatāre asura āchilo
śāstre bole paṇḍita hoiyā janamilo

In many previous incarnations they have taken birth as demons, but the revealed scriptures say that they were born in a brāhmaṇa family during Gauranga-lila.

smṛti-tarka-śāstre bole bairī prakāśiyā
gorācandra saha raṇa korilo mātiyā

The smṛti scriptures say that they become absorbed in a fighting spirit with Lord Gauracandra, manifesting enmity and hostility.

ata eba nabadwīpa-bāsī jata jana
śrī-caitanya-līlā-puṣṭi kore anukhaṇa

Therefore it is a fact that all the residents of Navadvipa, whether friendly or inimical, are eternally nourishing the development of Lord Chaitanya’s pastimes.

ekhona je brahma-kule caitanyera ari
tā’ke jāni caitanyera līlā puṣṭikārī

I know that these enemies of Lord Chaitanya, even though coming from brāhmaṇa background, are actually assistants for giving nourishment to Lord Chaitanya’s pastimes.

śrī-caitanya-anucara śatru-mitra jata
sakalera śrī-caraṇe hoilāma nata

I have thus prostrated myself at the lotus feet of all the enemies as well as friends who are accompanying Lord Chaitanya during His lila.

tomāra koroho kṛpā e dāsera prati
caitanya su-dṛḍha koro binodera mati

All of you eternal associates, kindly show your mercy to this servant and please make his devotion to Lord Chaitanya become completely fixed up.

— An excerpt from the Song 4 – The Secret of Lord Chaitanya’s Enemies, Śrī Śrī Kalyāṇa Kalpa-taru by Srila Saccidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Third Branch: Overflowing Spiritual Emotions (Ucchvasa), Part 2: “Prarthana Lalasamayi”, Verse: 6-13. Translation by Dasaratha-suta dasa published by Nectar Books.·
