Ramani Siromani sung by Tamal Krsna Prabhu and Devotees with Srila Gurudeva

This kirtan took place on a NYC rooftop in the Lower East Side, beneath a full moon. On a sacred day honouring the illustrious bhakti saint, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, a handful of kirtaniyas gathered to chant together. Here Krishna Kishora of the Mayapuris sings a folk bhajan made up of different names of Shri Krishna. In the refrain he sings 'Jaya Radhe', (glory to Sri Radha, Krishna's divine feminine counterpart), 'Jaya Shyam' (glory to Sri Krishna, known as Shyamsundara - he who is has a beautiful complexion like a dark thundercloud), 'Jaya Sri Vrindavan dham', (Glory to their home, Sri Vrindavan, where every word is a song and every step is a dance).

Vibhavari Sesa

Evening Arati at Radha Raman temple , Vrindavana 01

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu left only eight Slokas of His instructions in writing, and they are known as The Siksastaka. All other literatures of His divine cult were extensively written by the Lord's principal followers, the six Goswamis of Vrindavana, and their followers. The cult of Caitanya philosophy is richer than any other, it is admitted to be the living religion of the day with the potency for spreading as visva-dharma, or universal religion.  Siksastakam is performed by H.G Swarup Damodara Dasa.

Sri Sri Shikshashtaka
by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu

(1)
Glory to the Shri Krishna sankirtana (congregational chanting of the Lord's holy names), which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death. That sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious.

(2)
O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names, like Krishna and Govinda. In these transcendental names, you have invested all Your transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for chanting these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily approach you by Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no attraction for them.

(3)
trinad api sunicena
taror api sahishnuna
amanina manadena
kirtaniyah sada harihi

One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.

(4)
O almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor do I desire beautiful women, nor do I want any number of followers. I only want your causeless devotional service, birth after birth.

(5)
O son of Maharaja Nanda [Krishna], I am Your eternal servitor, yet somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms at Your lotus feet.

(6)
O my Lord, when will my eyes be decorated with tears of love flowing constantly when I chant Your holy name? When will my voice choke up, and when will the hairs of my body stand on end at the recitation of Your name?

(7)
O Govinda! Feeling Your separation, I am considering a moment to be like twelve years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence.

(8)
I know no one but Krishna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly by His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord, unconditionally.

The Mayapuris are a vibrant traveling party of kirtan artists. They have adventured around the world, trekking across six continents to share their colorful music and art. The teachings of Bhakti form the essence of their practice, and kirtan is their expression. Their music is energetic, textured, improvisational, and full of spirit. The Mayapuris have circled the globe with their dynamic rhythm and song, setting the world alight with dance, prayer and meditation.
