Nitai Pada Kamala Sridharas Bhajan Group (Mayapur March 1977)

A rare, high-fidelity archival treasure from the historic 1977 Mayapur Festival. This session captures the Sridharas Kirtan Group performing the bhajan "Nitai Pada Kamala" in the intimate setting of the ashram rooms in the (then new) long building at the ISKCON Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir complex. The Historical Context In 1977, ISKCON held its first and only Kirtan Competition, inviting traditional Hari Nam groups from across Bengal to perform on stage. While the main stage hosted grand performances for international devotees, many groups, like the Sridharas Kirtan Group, held smaller, deeply meditative sessions throughout the complex. Technical Archive Recorded in 1977 by: Gopati das (ACBSP) Equipment: Nakamichi 550 tape deck with a 3-condenser microphone system. Remastered (2024): Uttamasloka das (ACBSP) Sri Nityananda Nistha by Narottama Dasa Thakura 1. nitāi-pada-kamala, koṭi-candra-suśītala je chāyāy jagata jurāy heno nitāi bine bhāi, rādhā-kṛṣṇa pāite nāi dṛḍha kori’ dharo nitāir pāy Translation: The lotus feet of Lord Nityananda are a shelter where one will get the soothing moonlight not only of one, but of millions of moons. If the world wants to have real peace, it should take shelter of Lord Nityananda. Unless one takes shelter under the shade of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, it will be very difficult for him to approach Radha-Krsna. If one actually wants to enter into the dancing party of Radha-Krsna, he must firmly catch hold of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. 2. se sambandha nāhi jā’r, bṛthā janma gelo tā’r sei paśu boro durācār nitāi nā bolilo mukhe, majilo saṁsāra-sukhe vidyā-kule ki koribe tār Translation: Anyone who has not established his relationship with Nityananda Prabhu is understood to have spoiled his valuable human birth. Such a human being is actually an uncontrollable animal. Because he never uttered the holy name of Nityananda, he has become merged into so-called material happiness. What can his useless education and family tradition do to help him? 3. ahaṅkāre matta hoiyā, nitāi-pada pāsariyā asatyere satya kori māni nitāiyer koruṇā habe, braje rādhā-kṛṣṇa pābe dharo nitāi-caraṇa du’khāni Translation: Being maddened after false prestige and identification with the body, one is thinking, oh, what is Nityananda? What can He do for me? I don’t care. The result is that he is accepting something false to be truth. If you actually want to approach the association of Radha-Krsna, you must first achieve the mercy of Lord Nityananda. When He is merciful toward you, then you will be able to approach Radha-Krsna. Therefore you should firmly grasp the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. 4. nitāiyer caraṇa satya, tāhāra sevaka nitya nitāi-pada sadā koro āśa narottama boro dukhī, nitāi more koro sukhī rākho rāṅgā-caraṇera pāśa Translation: The lotus feet of Nityananda are not illusion; they are a fact. One who engages in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda is also transcendental. Always try to catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. This Narottama dasa is very unhappy, therefore I am praying to Lord Nityananda to make me happy. My dear Lord, please keep me close to Your lotus feet. From His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada "This is a very nice song sung by Narottama Dasa Thakura. He advises that nitai-pada, the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda (kamala means 'lotus,' and pada means 'feet'), are a shelter where one will get the soothing moonlight not only of one, but of millions of moons. We can just imagine the aggregate total value of the soothing shine of millions of moons. In this material world (jagat), which is progressing toward hell, there is always a blazing fire, and everyone is struggling hard without finding peace; therefore, if the world wants to have real peace, it should take shelter of Lord Nityananda."
