I am having trouble with the spacing of the lyrics on this score.
The straight words (Bengali language) are: Ajanar maha parichoy But
perhaps because of the bar lines, the syllables are being spaced
very far apart, so that the words are no longer recognizable (in
most instances). As you can see, I've manually inserted a bar and
break of my own. Perhaps my method could be improved upon, but this
makes the typeset score appear the way I want.
Thank you for any suggestions!

Your first problem is that your semibreve C in bar four should
actually be two tied minims - so that the second minim can appear in
its proper place in bar five. If you write "c2 ~ c" in place of "c1"
and remove the explicit system break, you will get something closer
to what I'd expect.
I trust this helps.
