(Baul song by Babu's Grandfathers, Grandfather, Ananta Goasi Das Baul) Lineage Baul01/02/2011
Brother, why should we endure any more pain?
We have suffered enough.
Come, all of you who wihs to visit the hospital of Gaurchand in the Nadia.
Never have we seen such relief from sufferings
exploring the city's clinics day after day.
Come, all of you who wish to visit the hospital of Gaurchand in the city of Nadia.
God is the absolute compounder, chief of the hospital.
Nityanand and Shribas are there too,
with Haridas, the compounder, mixing the medicine.
They have painted a sign three stories high
and have in store what you cannot find today.
The patients are rolling in with one leading the other.
Nityananda has a great reputation
having patients such as Jagai and Madhai, notorious
bandits of time - who were cured in no time.
Come to, come all of you who wish to visit the hospital of Gaurchand.
God has created the medicinal plants
but the medicine is made from a formula with care and the diet
is prescribed by the physician.
Finally, they all dissolve in the devotion to God.
Gosain, the wise one, suggests in his turn,
you will get cured, O senseless one, and conquer your illness.
Come, all of you who wish to visit the hospital of my Gaurchand.
Note..
Gaurchand is referring to Sri Chaitanaya Mahaprabhu..
as he was a fair skinned man.
Nityananda was a Baul of this lineage, he is the main associate of
Sri Chaitanya and the one who
gave him the Hare Krishna maha mantra.
Nityananada's lineage had been singing the
Hare Krishna Maha Mantra for thousands of years....
New age Vaishnava reformers have changed the story, ignoring that
Nityananda was a Baul.
Baul is an ancient oral tradition of storytelling the ancient sciptures,
preserved in Sanskrit... sung in Bengali for the common folk.
They are unorthodox and believe in spontaneous devotion, natural devotion.
Bauls were the original Kirtanya's in Bengal.
Sri Chaitanya was a scholar he learned the
Hare Krishna singing and dancing from Nityananda,
thus starting his revolution. Not much is known about this as Bauls do not care,
they do not have temples to build and books to sell.
