A reflection on how life sometimes feels when it falls apart. Sometimes I guess we can all feel like the prodigal son.

Lyrics:
When did it all start to go wrong?
When did it all just fall apart?
When did I take a wrong turn?
Will I ever find my way back home?

So long ago the days of joy
So long ago the days of hope
So long ago the days of love
Will I ever find my way back home?

I'm haunted by the days now gone
I'm haunted by the tears I've shed
I'm haunted by mistakes I've made
Will I ever find my way back home?

How can a person stray so far?
How can a person lose themselves?
How can a person put things right?
Will I ever find my way back home?

I used to hear my father's voice
I used to rest in his embrace
I used to know that I belonged
Will I ever find my way back home?

TRANSLATION

(1-2)

All glories to Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the son of Sacidevi. Great sages and demigods always sing His praise, for by doing so, the fear of repeated birth and death is cut to pieces. All glories to the kirtana of the holy name of Krsna, for when one chants the holy name of Krsna and dances in ecstasy, the filth of this iron age of Kali disappears.

(3-4)

Sri Caitanya delights all eyes with his charming beauty. He is the most dearly beloved Lord of all and the intimate brother of Visvarupa. He brings the highest auspiciousness to everyone, for He floods the entire universe with the nectar of love of godhead and thus saves all living beings. All Glories to Laksmipriya and Visnupriya-devi, who are very dear to Sri Nimai Pandita. All glories to Their dear family servant, Isana.

 (5-6)

All glories to Sita Thakurani and Sri Advaita Acarya, all glories to Malini devi and Srivasa Thakura, and all glories to Acarya Candrasekhara. all glories to Srila Nityananda Prabhu, Gadadhara Pandita and Haridasa Thakura, the Namacarya.

 (7-8)

All glories to Murari Gupta, and all glories to Mukunda Dutta. All glories to all the other eternal associates of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. By singing the glories of Srila Prabhupada(*) and all those great souls who are eternal associates of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, even the lowest of men can obtain the highest treasure of divine love.

I'm dedicating this makeshift recording with a crumbly voice to Srimati Ananda Kishori Devi Dasi of Oxford, hoping she may be able to listen to this prayer for residence at Govardhan Hill, and hoping it may help her prepare, in her last days with us, to 'advance across the great river' (as the ancient Chinese would say)to Lord Sri Krishna's eternal shelter.

Govardhana Vasa Prarthana Dasakam

“Words can show us the direction in which to look for the kirtan experience, but only when you sit down, move towards your inner space, and then sing out, will you start to know what kirtan really is. Because at that time your soul will rise up and start to dance…”

About Kirtan

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.
