A Hymn To Ramakrishna
By Swami Vivekananda
Om hrīm ritam tvam achalo, guṇajit, guṇeḍyah
Naktam divam, sakaruṇam, tava pāda padmam;
Mohan-kasham, bahu-kritam, na bhaje yato’ham
Tasmāt tvam eva śaraṇam, mama dīna-bandho.
You are to be adored, You are Truth unchanging, You are Lord of the Gunas.
In my weakness I have neglected, O Remover of delusion, to worship You
earnestly and unceasingly; Therefore I claim refuge in You, O Friend of the Lowly.
Bhaktir bhagaś-cha bhajanam, bhava-bheda-kāri
Gac-chantyalam, suvipulam, gamanāya tattvam;
Vaktrod-dhritopi hridi me, na cha bhāti kinchit
Tasmāt tvam-eva śaraṇam, mama dīna-bandho.
This chimera called life can be dispelled by Love, Adoration and Understanding;
These three bring us quickly to our goal: the Truth of Brahman.
But, alas, though I speak these words with my lips, they find no echo in my heart;
Therefore I claim refuge in You, O Friend of the Lowly.
Tejas taranti tarasā, tvayi tripta trishṇā,
Rāge krite, rita pathe, tvayi Rāmakrishṇe;
Martyāmritam, tava padam, maraṇormi-nāśam
Tasmāt tvam-eva śaraṇam, mama dīna-bandho.
Meaning of the song “Om Hrim Ritam”
O Rāmakrishna, You are the path that leads to Truth. If a man offers You his heart,
he soon overcomes the world and finds fullness of Eternal Life; for you still the
waves of death and bring immortality into the world of mortals.
Therefore I claim refuge in You, O Friend of the Lowly.
Krityam karoti kalusham, kuhakānta kāri
Shṇāntam śivam, suvimalam, tava nāma nātha;
Yasmād-aham tvaśaraṇo, jagadeka gamya
Tasmāt tvam-eva śaraṇam, mama dīna bandho.
Lord, Your name, Rāmakrishna, is goodness and purity Itself; graciously it
awakens us from our delusion. He who chants Your name, though he be a sinner,
will become a saint. You are the refuge of us all. I have no other goal but You.
Therefore I claim refuge in You, O Friend of the Lowly.
Om sthāpakāya cha dharmasya, sarva dharma-svarūpiṇe;
Avatāra-varishṭhāya Rāmakrishṇāya te namah.
Om namah śrī bhagavate Rāmakrishṇāya namo namah.
