Oh Govinda, Oh thou who dwellest in Dwaraka, Oh Krishna,
Oh thou who art fond of cow-herdesses (of Vrindavana).
Oh Kesava, seest thou not that the Kauravas are humiliating me.

Refrain: 

Shri Krishna Govinda, Hare Murari; He Natha Narayana Vasudeva

Oh all attractive one (Krishna)
Oh pleasure of all senses (Govinda)
The one who takes away all suffering (Hari)
Oh remover of all obstacles (Murari)
Oh Master (Natha)
Oh resting place of all creation (Narayan)
Oh creator of the universe (Vasudeva)

Oh Lord, Oh husband of Lakshmi, Oh Lord of Vraja (Vrindavana),
Oh destroyer of all afflictions,
Oh Janarddana, rescue me who am sinking in the Kaurava Ocean.

Refrain: 

Shri Krishna Govinda, Hare Murari; He Natha Narayana Vasudeva

Oh Krishna, Oh Krishna,
Oh thou great yogin, thou soul of the universe, Thou creator of all things,
Oh Govinda, save me who am distressed,--who am losing my senses in the midst of the Kurus"

Refrain: 
Shri Krishna Govinda, Hare Murari; He Natha Narayana Vasudeva

 the Bengali bhajan  "Doyal Nitai Caitanya" composed by the powerful Vaisnava Acharya Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura from His book Gitavali,  is performed by Krishna Premi Dasi.
The lyrics and English translation follow.......

DOYAL NITAI CHAITANYA
From: Gitavali by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura,

(1)
`doyāl nitāi caitanya' bole' nāc re āmār man
nāc re āmār man, nāc re āmāra man

Chanting the holy name "Doyal Nitai Caitanya!" -- O my mind, please dance! O my mind, please dance! O my mind, please dance!
 
(2)
(emon, doyāl to nāi he, mār kheye prema dey)
(ore) aparādha dūre jābe, pābe prema-dhan
(o nāme aparādha-vicāra to nāi he)
(takhon) kṛṣṇa-nāme ruci ha'be, ghucibe bandhan

Oh! Such a merciful personality as Nityananda Prabhu is not to be found anywhere! He suffers a beating from Jagai and Madhai and still gives them the love of God! Oh! When your offences are being vanquished, you will obtain the treasure of love of God! But in these names of Caitanya and Nitai there is no consideration of offences! Once you have a taste for the holy name of Krsna, bondage to this world will come to an end.
 
 (3)
(kṛṣṇa-nāme anurāg to ha'be he)
(takhon) anāyāse saphal ha'be jīvera jīvan
(kṛṣṇa-rati vinā jīvan to miche he)
(ese) bṛndābane rādhā-śyāmer pa'be daraśan
(gaura-kṛpā ha'le he) 

Oh! When there is attachment to the holy name of Krsna, the life of a living being very easily becomes successful! Oh! Without affection for Krsna, life is simply useless! At the end of life, you will obtain the beautiful vision of Radha and Syama in Vrndavana -- but only when the mercy of Lord Gaura is first received! Oh!

Krishna Premi Dasi

Doyal Nitai Chaitanya Bol:  Krishna Premi Dasi:

Kirtan is a call and response musical meditation that takes a minute to learn, and makes you feel good just as fast. The practice goes back more than 5000 years and can be practiced by anyone. You do not need to be a good singer, a practitioner of yoga, or a follower of any religion or set of beliefs to experience the power of kirtan. An open mind and your voice are all that is required! Combining music, mantra meditation and full body, mind and heart participation, kirtan offers a rich, immersive experience that has the power to change the world, one heart at a time.

Radhika Das discovered the practice of Bhakti Yoga, the path of love and devotion, more than a decade ago, . He decided to dedicate more time to absorb himself in the ancient practice of Kirtan and discovered the beauty of mantra.

Radhika is devoted to helping others feel more fulfilled through mantra meditation and a holistic way of living; deeply connecting mind, body and soul.

"Every human being has a beautiful light within that is just waiting to shine, but our false ego can often block us from unlocking our full potential. As a Bhakti practioner, I want to serve you to dive deep and explore, unleashing your true vibrancy and joy."

Radhika Das also helps to run ‘Kirtan London’, a project which aims to make sacred mantra music accessible and relevant to a wider audience, including schools, mental health institutions and outdoor events.

(1) gurudeva, kṛpā karke mujhko apanā lenā
maiń śaraṇa paḍā terī, caraṇoń meń jagaha denā

(2) karuṇā-nidhi nāma terā, karuṇā barasao tum
soye huye bhagya ko, he nātha jagāo tum
merī nāva bhãvara dole, use pāra lagā denā

(3) tum sukh ke sāgara ho, bhakti ke sahāre ho
mere man meń samāe ho, mujhe prāṇoń se pyāre ho
nita mālā japū terī, mere doṣa bhulā denā

(4) maiń santoń kā sevaka hūń, guru caraṇoń kā dāsa hūń
nahīń nātha bhulānā mujhe, is jaga meń akelā hūń
tere dvār kā bhikhārī hūń, nahīń dil se bhulā denā

TRANSLATION

1) Gurudeva, bestow your mercy on me and accept me as your own. I have taken shelter of you. Please give me a place at your lotus feet.

2) Please shower your mercy on me because you are renowned as a storehouse of mercy. O my Lord, only then will my sleeping fortune wake up. My boat is caught in a whirlpool. Please take me across this turbulent ocean.

3) You are the ocean of happiness and shelter for bhakti. You are dearer to me than my life and are always on my mind. I chant your name every day. Please ignore my faults.

4) I am a servant of the Vaisnavas and of the lotus feet of my Guru. Please do not forget me because I am all alone, O Lord. I am a beggar at your door. Please do not ignore me at heart.
