Gaura Nityananda

Information – “Gaura Nityananda” are the original Deities worshipped by Sri Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura. Sri Baladeva (White), Subhadri Devi (Yellow) and Shyamsundar Jiu (Blue).

Information – Ṭhākura Vṛndāvana’s appearance place is the very altar of bhakti, the bhakti-pīṭha or vyāsa-pīṭha. This is the Naimiṣa of Gauḍa. When the interest in serving the Śrī Gaura-Nityānanda deities worshipped by Ṭhākura Vṛndāvana disappeared, this place was also practically lost. By the grace of the yugācārya, this place and the worship here is being restored. A temple sanctum, a nāṭya-mandira temple room, and servant’s quarters will be constructed so that very soon the service of Śrī Gaura-Nityānanda in this place can be restored. Last Sunday, in the morning, Prabhupāda Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Mahārāja laid the cornerstone for the temple in this place with his own hands amid the hari-dhvani cheers issuing from the mouths of countless assembled devotees.

Vrindavan Das Thakur has written this song “Nace Nace Nitai Gaur Guna Maniya”. In this song, Vrindavan Das Thakur describes the beauty of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda, while they are dancing.

(1)
nace nace nitai gaur guna maniya
nace nace nitai gaur guna maniya
(nace nace nitai gaur dvija maniya)
bame priya gadadhara, srivasa advaita bara,
parisada taragana jinya

(2)
baje khola karatala, madhura sangita bhala,
gagana bhorilo haridhvaniya

(3)
candana carcita gay, phagu bindu bindu tay,
vanamala dole bhalo boliya

(4)
gale subhra upavita, rupa koti kama jita,
carane nupura ranaraniya

(5)
dui bhai naci jay, sahacara gana gay,
gadadhara ange pore dhuliya

(6)
puruba rabhasa lila, ebe pahu prakasila,
sei brindaban ei nadiya

(7)
bihare gangatire, sei dhira samire,
vrndavana dasa kohe janiya

TRANSLATION
(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].

(2) The mridangas and karatalas are played and sweet songs are sung. The sky is filled with the chanting of harinama.

(3) His body is anointed with sandal paste and drops of Holi juice, and a forest flower garland dangles nicely across His chest.

(4) A white brahmin thread hangs across His neck, His form defeats millions of Cupids and anklebells jingle on His feet.

(5) The two brothers are dancing and Their associates sing while Gadadhara’s body is pelted with powder.

(6) Now the Lord re-manifests His previous joyful Vrindaban pastimes in this Nadiya.

(7) Now He enjoys on the bank of the Ganga just like in Vrindavan’s Dhira samira kunja. Vrindavana Das tells you, for he knows it.
