Jiva Jago Jiva Jago
Bhaktivinod Thakur has written this song Jiva Jago Jiva Jago. The official Name for this song is Arunodaya Kirtana 2 (Kirtana songs to be sung at dawn). This song is taken from the book Gitavali. Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that Maha prabhu is so humble that He has come down to this material world to deliver all the fallen souls. Sri Caitanya is very merciful He wants all His children to wake up and come with Him to His spiritual abode. He doesnāt want us to suffer so He gave us the special Hare Krsna mantra. Just chant and be happy, remember Sri Krishna, Love Him and then go back to His abode. It is so simple yet we fools donāt relish it.
