SRI CHAITANYA’S PRAYER (SHIKSHASHTAKAM)
Chant the name of the Lord and his glory unceasingly That the mirror of the heart may be wiped clean, And quenched that mighty forest fire, worldly lust, Raging furiously within. ****** Various are thy names, O Lord, In each and every name thy power resides. No times are set, no rites are needful, For chanting of thy name, so vast is thy mercy. How huge then is my wretchedness Who find in this empty life and heart, No devotion to thy name.
—Translated by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood
