LYRICS
(1)
jīv jāgo, jīv jāgo, gauracānda bole
kota nidrā jāo māyā-piśācīra kole

bhajibo boliyā ese saḿsāra-bhitare
bhuliyā rohile tumi avidyāra bhare

tomāre loite āmi hoinu avatāra
āmi binā bandhu āra ke āche tomāra

enechi auṣadhi māyā nāśibāro lāgi'
hari-nāma mahā-mantra lao tumi māgi'

bhakativinoda prabhu-caraṇe pariyā

TRANSLATION
1) Lord Gaurānga is calling, "Wake up, sleeping souls! Wake up, sleeping souls! How long will you sleep in the lap of the witch called Māyā?

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 mahā-mantra-Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare."

5) Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Thākura says: "I fall at the Lord's feet, having taken this mahā-mantra."


Commentary :
This song explains Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is our true friend
I came across some quotes on true friendship & below they are
Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” Albert Camus quotes (French Novelist, Essayist and Playwright, 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature, 1913-1960)
----Lord Caitanya is Paramatma himself & he is seated in ones heart beside the soul .
At the time of death we take new bodies & he comes with us to sits next to us in every body .So isn't he our TRUE friend.?

A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care. A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.”
---Everyon
e ,near dear ,friends,enemies shall leave us for various reasons like miscommunication,misunderstanding,difference in opinions,fights ,ego clash or the final separation death but Caitanya mahaprabhu as paramatma shall never even after death he shall follow.Isn't he our TRUE friend?

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.
---We have forgotten the song in our heart ie the longing to serve Krishna & Radharani ie nothing but the Hare Krishna mahamantra & he has come with this GOLOK premdhana to make our remind of our personal Song . Isn't he out TRUE friend ?

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” Walter Winchell quotes
---In our great desperation,disgust& disappointments it is only the Hare krishna mahamantra which walks in to illuminate & give us joy . if Caitanya mahaprabhu had not sung loudly & spread it what would be our Hope ? Isn't he our TRUE friend ?

I wonder people ,philosophers are writing the true definitions of TRUE friend but how shall they come to know about the TRUE friend Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu ?
We need to spread him as fast as we can for the whole world is moving towards great cataclysm of Spiritual suicide.

& i ask & beg to be a part of the team of Spiritual Warriors lead by Srila Prabhupad to spread the movement of Lord Caitanya in every town & village.
