The Holy Name

In Nadiya, on the isle of Godruma,
Nityananda, the great soul,

Has opened the marketplace
Of the Holy Name

For the sake
Of every living soul.

O faithful people,
O faithful people,

By the Lord’s command, my brothers,
I beg this gift from you—

Speak of Krishna,
Worship Krishna,
Learn the teachings of Krishna.

Free from all offenses,
Take the Holy Name of Krishna.

Krishna is your mother,
Krishna is your father,
Krishna is your treasure,
Krishna is your very life.

Make your household
Krishna’s household.
Give up improper conduct.

Show mercy
To every living soul.
Chant the Holy Name of Krishna.

This is the essence
Of all dharma.

This is the essence
Of all dharma.

The Holy Name.
