"Nachere Nachere Nitai Gaura Dvija Maniya" is a Bengali song composed in the 16th century by Srila Vrindavana Dasa Thakura, a great scholar and devoted follower of Sri Nityananda Prabhu. He is as revered as Vyasadeva in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. He is the author of Sri Chaitanya-bhagavata, one of the earliest biographies of Lord Chaitanya.
Over 500 years ago, Lord Krishna descended on the earth as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to introduce and spread Harinama sankirtan as the yuga-dharma for this age. Assisting Him in this divine mission was Lord Nityananda, His principal associate.
In this song, Srila Vrindavana Dasa Thakura vividly captures the ecstatic Harinama sankirtan of Lord Chaitanya (Gaura) and Lord Nityananda (Nitai), who, along with Their devoted associates, fill the sacred land of Navadvipa with divine bliss.
As They dance and chant the holy names of Krishna, the entire atmosphere becomes spiritually surcharged. The sacred land of Navadvipa transforms into a spiritual paradise where devotees immerse themselves in pure love and devotion.
On this auspicious occasion of Sri Nityananda Trayodashi, the appearance day of Lord Nityananda, listen to the melodious rendition of this song and seek the blessings of Their Lordships Nitai Gauranga. Share this video with your loved ones to spread the glories of Their Lordships.
Lyrics of Nachere Nachere Nitai
Composed by Srila Vrindavana Dasa Thakura
nācere nācere nitāi gaura dvija maṇiya
nācere nācere nitāi gaura dvija maṇiya
bāme priya gadādhara, śrīvāsa advaita bara,
pāriśada tārāgaṇa jiniyā (1)
Nitai and Gaura gunamani are dancing and dancing, with beloved Gadadhara on Their left, and Srivasa and Advaita [on the right] while Their associates defeat the stars [that surround the Gaura-moon].
bāje khola karatāla, madhura saṇgīta bhāla,
gagana bhorilo haridhvaniyā (2)
The mridangas and karatalas are played, and sweet songs are sung. The sky is filled with the chanting of Harinama.
candana carcita gāy, phāgu bindu bindu tāy,
vanamālā dole bhāle boliyā (3)
His body is anointed with sandal paste and drops of Holi juice, and a forest flower garland dangles nicely across His chest.
gale śubhra upavīta, rūpe koṭi kāma jita,
caraṇe nūpura raṇaraṇiyā (4)
A white brahmin thread hangs across His neck, His form defeats millions of Cupids, and ankle bells jingle on His feet.
dui bhāi nāci jāy, sahacara gaṇa gāy,
gadādhara ange pore ḍhūliyā (5)
The two brothers are dancing, and Their associates sing while Gadadhara's body is pelted with powder.
pūruba rabhasa līlā, ebe pahu prakāśilā,
sei brindābana ei nadiyā (6)
Now, the Lord re-manifests His previous joyful Vrindavan pastimes in this Nadiya.
bihare gangāra tīre, sei dhīra samīre,
vṛndāvana dāsa kohe jāniyā (7)
Now He enjoys on the bank of the Ganga just like in Vrindavan's Dhira Samira Kunja. Vrindavana Dasa tells you, for he knows it.
