Durlabha Manava Janma | Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura | ISKCON Bangalore Sanga

“Durlabha Manava Janma" is a devotional song written by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, one of the prominent spiritual leaders in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. This prayer is part of his book Kalyana Kalpataru and emphasises the rarity and preciousness of human life. It is a heartfelt call to action, urging individuals to use their human birth for the highest purpose: developing love for Krishna and attaining spiritual perfection. durlabha mānava-janma labhiyā saḿsāre kṛṣṇa nā bhajinu—duḥkha kahibo kāhāre (1) The human form of life is the rarest opportunity for attaining spiritual perfection. But now I am lamenting because I've somehow or other been born with such an opportunity, and I wasted it by never worshipping Lord Krishna. Oh, to whom shall I tell the tale of this misery? ‘saḿsār’ ‘saḿsār’ ko’re miche gelo kāl lābha nā koilo kichu, ghaṭilo jañjāl (2) Having married and entered into the entanglements of materialistic family life, I passed my time in vain. I never got any tangible gain or permanent benefit, only trouble and botheration. kiser saḿsār ei chāyābāji prāy ihāte mamatā kori’ bṛthā dina jāy (3) What kind of world is this anyway? It seems to be just like a magic lantern show that I saw at a carnival, wherein so many shadows and optical illusions dance magically before my eyes. I feel great attachment and identification with such a world, and thus, day after day pass by fruitlessly, without any purpose whatsoever. e deho patana ho’le ki ro’be āmār keho sukha nāhi dibe putra-parivār (4) When this body drops dead on the ground, then what will remain mine? At that moment, all of my sons and dearest loved ones will not be able to give me any happiness. gardabher mata āmi kori pariśram kā’r lāgi’ eto kori nā ghucilo bhram (5) I work hard just like an ass every day, and now I am wondering for whom am I working so hard? I am still surrounded by so many illusions. dina jāy micha kāje, niśā nidrā-baśe nāhi bhāvi-maraṇa nikaṭe āche bo’se (6) I waste every day in useless, insignificant work, and I waste every night controlled by sleep. And in every 24 hours, I never for one second consider that cruel death is sitting very close by my side. bhālo manda khāi, heri, pari, cintā-hīna nāhi bhāvi, e deho chāḍibo kon dina (7) I live a very carefree life-style, sometimes eating a lot, or eating a little if I feel like it, sometimes I see nice things around the town, or sometimes I do not go out at all, sometimes I wear opulent clothing, or if I'm in the mood, I'll wear something simple. I live so carefree that I never consider that one day I will have to give up this body. deho-geho-kalatrādi-cintā avirata jāgiche hṛdoye mor buddhi kori’ hata (8) My poor heart is plagued by constant anxieties about the maintenance and daily turmoil created by my body, my house, my wife, my family members and my social obligations. All these anxieties are pinching me and destroying all my intelligence. hāy, hāy! Nāhi bhāvi-anitya e saba jīvana vigate kothā rohibe vaibhava (9) Alas, alas! What a remorseful situation has arisen! I am absorbed in all this trouble, but I never consider that all these things are temporary and subject to perish very soon. After I'm dead and gone, where will all of my material opulences remain? śmaśāne śarīr mama poḍiyā rohibe bihańga-patańga tāy bihār koribe (10) When my body will be thrown in the pit at the cremation grounds, it will simply lie there motionlessly. Then many crows, vultures, ants, and worms will come and playfully sport there. kukkur sṛgāl sab ānandita ho’ye mahotsava koribe āmār deho lo’ye (11) All the stray dogs and jackals will then become very much delighted, and in great ecstasy, they will make a festival ground out of my body and will have a huge celebration and feast. je deher ei gati, tā’r anugata saḿsār-vaibhava ār bandhu-jana jata (12) Just see, this is the ultimate destination of this material body. And the most amazing thing is that all of my material opulences, house, family and friends have exactly the same destination. ataeva māyā-moha chāḍi’ buddhimān nitya-tattva kṛṣṇa-bhakti koruna sandhān (13) Therefore, I ask of anyone who has any sharp intelligence: please give up all of these temporary illusions presented by maya, and kindly search after the means to get pure devotion to Lord Krishna, for this is the only really tangible eternal truth.
