"You could become a great horseman
And help to free yourself and this world
Though only if you and prayer become
Sweet lovers.
It is a naive man who thinks we are not
Engaged in a fierce battle,
For I see and hear brave foot soldiers
All around me going mad,
Falling on the ground in excruciating pain.
You could become a victorious horseman
And carry your heart through this world
Like a life-giving sun
Though only if you and God become
Sweet lovers."
Like A Life-Giving Sun

Mantra for deep meditation: "Oṁ Namo Nārāyaṇāya"

Om Namo Narayanaya

pal pal hai bhaari woh vipada hai aayi
Every moment is a burden, calamity has struck!

mohe bachaane ab aao raghuraayi
Save me! oh king of the Raghu race!

aao raghuvir aao raghupati ram aao
Come, oh hero of the Raghu race; Lord Ram, please come!

more man ke swaami more sriraam aao
Lord of my heart, my Sriram please come!

raam raam japti huun sun lo mere ram aao
I keep repeating the name of the lord, hear it and come;

raam raam japti huun sun lo mere raam ji
I chant your name, please listen, oh Lord!

baje satya ka dhaanka jale paap ki lanka
Let the truth ring out loud and the city of sin burn.

isi kshan tum aao mukt karaao
Come this very moment and liberate me;

sun bhi lo ab mori duhaayi
listen to my woes.

pal pal.....
Every moment.....

raam ko bhuulo yeh dekho raavan aaya hai
Forget Ram; look, Raavan has come,

phaili saari srishti par jiski chhaya hai
whose image is found in all creation!

kyon japti ho raam raam tum
Why do you chant the name of Ram?

kyon leti ho raam naam tum
Why do you take His name?

raam raam ka ratan jo yeh tumne hai lagaaya
this repetition of Ram's name that you've started --

sita sita tumne raam mein aisa kya gun paaya
Sita, what have you found so worthy in Ram?

gin paayega unke gun koi kya
How can one count His merits?

itne shabd hi kahaan hain
Where are there so many words?

pahunchega us shikar pe kaun bhala
Who can reach that peak

mere raam ji jahaan hain
where my Ram is?

jag mein sabse uttam hai maryaada purushottam hai
In the whole world He is the highest Being, the Supreme Spirit;

sabse shaktishaali hai phir bhi rakhte sayyam hai
he is stronger than all and yet very patient.

par unke sayyam ki ab aane ko hai sima
But His patience has reached its limit.

raavan samay hai maang le kshama
Raavan there's still time, ask forgiveness;

baje satya ka dhanka jale paap ki lanka
let the truth ring out loud and the city of sin burn!

aaye raaja raam karein ham pranaam
When King Ram arrives we will bow to him;

sang aaye lakshman jaisa bhai
with him will come his devoted brother Lakshman.

pal pal.....
Every moment....

raam mein shakti agar hai
If Ram has strength,

raam mein saahas hai to
if Ram has courage,

kyon nahin aaye abhi tak woh...
why has he not come yet...

tumhaari raksha ko
to protect you?

jinka varnan karne mein
He whose descriptions

thakti nahin ho tum yahaan
you never tire of giving,

yeh bataao woh tumhaare raam hai is pal kahaan
tell me where your Ram is this very minute?

raam hriday mein hai
Ram is in my heart;

mere raam hi dharkan mein hai
my Ram is in every hearbeat!

raam meri aatma mein raam hi jivan mein hai
Ram is in my soul, in my life itself

raam har pal mein hai mere raam hai har shwaas mein
Ram is in every moment of mine, in every breath

raam har aasha mein meri raam hi har aas mein
Ram is in every wish of mine, He is what I wish for.

raam hi to karuna mein hai shaanti mein raam hai
Ram is in compassion, and in peace,

raam hi hai ekta mein pragati mein raam hai
Ram is in harmony and in progress.

eaam bas bhakton nahin shatru ki bhi chintan mein hai
Ram is not only in a devotee but also in an enemy's mind.

dekh tajke paap raavan raam tere man mein hai
Forsake all sins Raavan, Ram is in your heart!

raam tere man mein hai raam mere man mein hai
Ram is in your heart, Ram is in my heart.

raam to ghar-ghar mein hai raam har aangan mein hai
Ram is in every house and every courtyard.

man se raavan jo nikaale ram uske man mein hai
One who removes Raavan from his heart will find Ram there.

pal pal....
Every moment....

suno raamji aaye mere raamji aaye
Listen, Ramji is coming, my Ramji is coming!

raaja raamchandra aaye
King Ramchandra is coming;

shri raamchandra aaye
Lord Ramchandra is coming;

raamji aaye more raamji aaye
Ramji is coming, my Ramji is coming;

shri ramchandra aaye ho...
Lord Ramchandra is coming...!

Please come, oh Ram! (Pal Pal Hai Bhaari)

This recording of Bhaja Hu Re Mana ("Oh Mind, Please Worship Nanda Nandana"), is a traditional Gaudiya bhajan originally written by Govinda Dasa Kaviraja at some time in the late 17th century. Traditionally it is sung in Raga Bhairavi in Tintal but here is a contemporary version.

Arrangement: Mohini Murti Devi Dasi and ...Ekendra Dasa
Lead Vocals: Ekendra Dasa
Response Vocals: Malika Des Fours, Amber McRae, Mohini Murti Devi Dasi, Seva Kunja Devi Dasi
Editing, Producing: Ekendra Dasa
Recorded at Go-run-ga Studios, ISKCON New Govardhana, Australia

LYRICS:

bhajahū re mana śrī-nanda-nandana
abhaya-caraṇāravinda re
durlabha mānava-janama sat-sańge
taroho e bhava-sindhu re

śīta ātapa bāta bariṣaṇa
e dina jāminī jāgi re
biphale sevinu kṛpaṇa durajana
capala sukha-laba lāgi' re

e dhana, yaubana, putra, parijana
ithe ki āche paratīti re
kamala-dala-jala, jīvana ṭalamala
bhajahū hari-pada nīti re

śravaṇa, kīrtana, smaraṇa, vandana,
pāda-sevana, dāsya re
pūjana, sakhī-jana, ātma-nivedana
govinda-dāsa-abhilāṣa re

Translation:

1) O mind just worship the lotus feet of the son of Nanda, which make one fearless. Having obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of worldly existence through the association of saintly persons.

2) Both in the day and at night I remain sleepless, suffering the pains of the heat and cold, the wind and the rain. For a fraction of flickering happiness I have uselessly served wicked and miserly men.

3) What assurance of real happiness is there in all of one's wealth, youthfulness, sons, and family members? This life is tottering like a drop of water on a lotus petal; therefore you should always serve and worship the divine feet of Lord Hari.

4) It is the desire and great longing of Govinda Dasa to engage himself in the nine processes of bhakti, namely hearing the glories of Lord Hari and chanting those glories, constantly remembering Him and offering prayers to Him, serving the Lord's lotus feet, serving the Supreme Lord as a servant, worshiping Him with flowers and incense and so forth, serving Him as a friend, and completely offering the Lord one's very self.

Janardan Kewin - Hare Krishna Maha Mantra

(1)
namamisvaram sac-cid-ananda-rupam
lasat-kundalam gokule bhrajamanam
yasoda-bhiyolukhalad dhavamanam
paramrstam atyantato drutya gopya

"To the Supreme Lord, whose form is the embodiment of eternal existence, knowledge, and bliss, whose shark-shaped earrings are swinging to and fro, who is beautifully shining in the divine realm of Gokula, who I (due to the offense of breaking the pot of yogurt that His mother was churning into butter and then stealing the butter that was kept hanging from a swing) is quickly running from the wooden grinding mortar in fear of mother Yasoda, but who has been caught from behind by her who ran after Him with greater speed--to that Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, I offer my humble obeisances."

(2)
rudantam muhur netra-yugmam mrjantam
karambhoja-yugmena satanka-netram
muhuh svasa-kampa-trirekhanka-kantha-
sthita-graivam damodaram bhakti-baddham


"He is crying and rubbing His eyes again and again with His two lotus hands. His eyes are filled with fear, and the necklace of pearls around His neck, which is marked with three lines like a conch shell, is shaking because of His quick breathing due to crying. To this Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, whose belly is bound not with ropes but with His mother's pure love, I offer my humble obeisances."

(3)
itidrk sva-lilabhir ananda-kunde
sva-ghosam nimajjantam akhyapayantam
tadiyesita-jnesu bhaktair jitatvam
punah prematas tam satavrtti vande

"By such childhood pastimes as this He is drowning the inhabitants of Gokula in pools of ecstasy, and is revealing to those devotees who are absorbed in knowledge of His supreme majesty and opulence that He is only conquered by devotees whose pure love is imbues with intimacy and is free from all conceptions of awe and reverence. With great love I again offer my obeisances to Lord Damodara hundreds and hundreds of times."

(4)
varam deva moksam na moksavadhim va
na canyam vrne 'ham varesad apiha
idam te vapur natha gopala-balam
sada me manasy avirastam kim anyaih

"O Lord, although You are able to give all kinds of benedictions, I do not pray to You for the boon of impersonal liberation, nor the highest liberation of eternal life in Vaikuntha, nor any other boon (which may be obtained by executing the nine processes of bhakti). O Lord, I simply wish that this form of Yours as Bala Gopala in Vrndavana may ever be manifest in my heart, for what is the use to me of any other boon besides this?"

(5)
idam te mukhambhojam atyanta-nilair
vrtam kuntalaih snigdha-raktais' ca gopya 
muhus cumbitam bimba-raktadharam me
manasy avirastam alam laksa-labhaih

"O Lord, Your lotus face, which is encircled by locks of soft black hair tinged with red, is kissed again and again by mother Yasoda, and Your lips are reddish like the bimba fruit. May this beautiful vision of Your lotus face be ever manifest in my heart. Thousands and thousands of other benedictions are of no use to me."

(6)
namo deva damodarananta visno
prasida prabho duhkha-jalabdhi-magnam
krpa-drsti-vrstyati-dinam batanu-
grhanesa mam ajnam edhy aksi-drsyah

"O Supreme Godhead, I offer my obeisances unto You. O Damodara! O Ananta! O Vishnu! O master! O my Lord, be pleased upon me. By showering Your glance of mercy upon me, deliver this poor ignorant fool who is immersed in an ocean of worldly sorrows, and become visible to my eyes."

(7)
kuveratmajau baddha-murtyaiva yadvat
tvaya mocitau bhakti-bhajau krtau ca
tatha prema-bhaktim svakam me prayaccha
na mokse graho me 'sti damodareha

"O Lord Damodara, just as the two sons of Kuvera--Manigriva and Nalakuvara--were delivered from the curse of Narada and made into great devotees by You in Your form as a baby tied with rope to a wooden grinding mortar, in the same way, please give to me Your own prema-bhakti. I only long for this and have no desire for any kind of liberation."

(8)
namas te 'stu damne sphurad-dipti-dhamne
tvadiyodarayatha visvasya dhamne
namo radhikayai tvadiya-priyayai
namo 'nanta-lilaya devaya tubhyam

"O Lord Damodara, I first of all offer my obeisances to the brilliantly effulgent rope which binds Your belly. I then offer my obeisances to Your belly, which is the abode of the entire universe. I humbly bow down to Your most beloved Srimati Radharani, and I offer all obeisances to You, the Supreme Lord, who displays unlimited pastimes."

Sri Damodarastakam

"Like a monsoon cloud, the holy name showers pure nectar into their ears. Due to great ecstasy, all the devotees enthusiastically dance to their heart's content. All the inhabitants of the universe become maddened upon entering these intoxicating showers of divine sweetness. Some people cry, some dance, and others become fully intoxicated within their minds." - Bhaktivinoda Thakur

5. Monsoon - Shyamananda Kirtan Mandali

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.8.21

kṛṣṇāya vāsudevāya
 devakī-nandanāya ca
nanda-gopa-kumārāya
 govindāya namo namaḥ

Word for word: 

kṛṣṇāya — the Supreme Lord; vāsudevāya — unto the son of Vasudeva; devakī-nandanāya — unto the son of Devakī; ca — and; nanda-gopa — Nanda and the cowherd men; kumārāya — unto their son; govindāya — unto the Personality of Godhead, who enlivens the cows and the senses; namaḥ — respectful obeisances; namaḥ — obeisances.

Translation: 

Let me therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto the Lord, who has become the son of Vasudeva, the pleasure of Devakī, the boy of Nanda and the other cowherd men of Vṛndāvana, and the enlivener of the cows and the senses.

Purport: 

The Lord, being thus unapproachable by any material assets, out of unbounded and causeless mercy descends to the earth as He is in order to show His special mercy upon His unalloyed devotees and to diminish the upsurges of the demoniac persons. Queen Kuntī specifically adores the incarnation or descent of Lord Kṛṣṇa above all other incarnations because in this particular incarnation He is more approachable. In the Rāma incarnation He remained a king’s son from His very childhood, but in the incarnation of Kṛṣṇa, although He was the son of a king, He at once left the shelter of His real father and mother (King Vasudeva and Queen Devakī) just after His appearance and went to the lap of Yaśodāmāyī to play the part of an ordinary cowherd boy in the blessed Vrajabhūmi, which is very sanctified because of His childhood pastimes. Therefore Lord Kṛṣṇa is more merciful than Lord Rāma. He was undoubtedly very kind to Kuntī’s brother Vasudeva and the family. Had He not become the son of Vasudeva and Devakī, Queen Kuntī could not claim Him to be her nephew and thus address Kṛṣṇa in parental affection. But Nanda and Yaśodā are more fortunate because they could relish the Lord’s childhood pastimes, which are more attractive than all other pastimes. There is no parallel to His childhood pastimes as exhibited at Vrajabhūmi, which are replicas of His eternal affairs in the original Kṛṣṇaloka, described as the cintāmaṇi-dhāma in the Brahma-saṁhitā. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa descended Himself at Vrajabhūmi with all His transcendental entourage and paraphernalia. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore confirmed that no one is as fortunate as the residents of Vrajabhūmi, and specifically the cowherd girls, who dedicated their everything for the satisfaction of the Lord. His pastimes with Nanda and Yaśodā and His pastimes with the cowherd men and especially with the cowherd boys and the cows have caused Him to be known as Govinda. Lord Kṛṣṇa as Govinda is more inclined to the brāhmaṇas and the cows, indicating thereby that human prosperity depends more on these two items, namely brahminical culture and cow protection. Lord Kṛṣṇa is never satisfied where these are lacking.

Here's a song from Madreya Prabhu that we recorded a couple of years ago in Australia. Today being the celebration of Lord Rama's appearance, I thought it timely to release. If you like it, please share it around your network. Jaya Sita Rama Laxman Hanuman!

Here's another song we recorded with Madreya in 2011. I think it's the English translation of the Narasimha Prayers from the temple song book.

All Glories to Lord Narasingha

The original from Vidyabhusana prabhu is of course a lot cooler-but  what to do-I like doing mash-up remixes in my spare time!
