Shikshashtakam
(Lord Chaithanya who was a very great scholar right from his youth, is
believed to have not written many prayers in his great life, of extreme devotion
to Lord Krishna. This great octet is the only one written by him and is believed
to contain the essence of all his teaching.)
Nayanam galad-ashru-dharaya
Vadanam gadgada-ruddhaya gira
Pulakair nichitam vapuh kada
Tava nama-grahane bhavishyati 6
Yugayitam nimeshena
Chakshusha pravrishayitam
Shunyayitam jagat sarvam
Govinda-virahena mey. 7
When I am not with you Govinda,
Every minute appears like an age,
My eyes shed tears like rain,
And the entire world appears empty.
(Translated by P R Ramachander)
