GAURA NITAI’S BOAT

 

This medieval song was written by a Gaudiya Vaisnava who identified himself only as Krishna Das.

 

 

O brothers! At the Nadiya ghat is a wonderful ferryboat.

At the bow stands Lord Nitai, and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the captain.

 

The six oarsmen in that boat are Sri Rupa, Sri Sanatan, Sri Jiva, Sri Gopal, and the two Raghunathas.

 

Lord Nitai loudly calls, “O My brothers! Who amongst you will cross the ocean of birth and death?

Without paying even a single paisa,

one and all may cross to the other shore.”

 

Since one does not have to take trouble to pay boat fare, then who will not cross the material ocean? Chaitanya and Nitai will take everyone across.

 

Krishna Das says, “O my brothers, please chant,

‘Hari! Hari!‘“

At the ghat of Chaitanya and Nitai, no payment is required.
