Advaitashtakam (Gangatire Tatpayobhih)

I take shelter of Srila Advaitacharya, who worshipped Gaura (Sri Chaitanya) on the banks of the Ganges with its water, Tulasi leaves, flowers, and loud cries of love to cause Him to manifest.

I take shelter of Srila Advaitacharya, attracted by whose loud shouts—the transformations of his ocean of love—Golokanatha Gaura manifested in Sri Navadvipa.

I take shelter of Srila Advaitacharya, who caused Srila Chaitanyachandra to manifest and flooded the world with a stream of divine love that is rare even for Brahma and other demigods.

I take shelter of Srila Advaitacharya, by whose command even the all-powerful Sri Chaitanya disappeared from this world, and whose merciful actions are difficult to comprehend.

I take shelter of Srila Advaitacharya, whose expansions are Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesha—who perform the creation, maintenance, and destruction of the universe—and who is non-different from Maha-Vishnu.

I take shelter of Srila Advaitacharya, who is considered in certain scriptures to be the refuge of Shambhu (Shiva), whose name and abode are famous, who is worshipful by all, and who is attainable only through devotion.

I take shelter of Srila Advaitacharya, whose beloved wife is Sita Devi who is filled with divine love, whose son is named Achyutananda, and who is completely filled with the flow of love for Sri Chaitanya.

I take shelter of Srila Advaitacharya, who is named 'Advaita' because he is non-different from Nityananda, whose name became 'Acharya' because he continuously preaches the path of devotion, and whose mind always wanders in Gauradhama.

One who recites this Ashtakam of Sitanatha (Advaitacharya) with love every morning with a purified intelligence attains devotion unto His lotus feet and becomes dear to Him.

Thus ends the Advaitashtakam composed by Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya.
