Srila Gurudev (Tamal Krishna Goswami)& Roger Gray In Houston TV Interview

This track was recorded in the secluded and sacred setting of Radha Banebihari Mandir, an ashram in the mountainous Venables Valley. 

Yamuna Devi sings a few lines of an English prayer written by her spiritual master, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and then sings Mahamantra, accompanied by members of the Venables Valley (AKA Saranagati) community. 

Yamuna Devi was renowned in her lifetime as a bhakti practitioner of greatest depth, as well as accomplished chef, writer, artist and singer of devotional songs and kirtan. Her voice was lauded by George Harrison of The Beatles, who offered to record and produce a solo album for her. Though this never happened, he produced the Radha Krishna Temple Album, on which she sang lead - it reached the top 5 in charts across Europe in 1972.  She passed away in December 2011.

 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!

Session 16: Prayers to help Chanting by Yamuna Devi Dasi

Kirtan Lead by Yamuna devi

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.
