Sweet songs of The Sweet Lord

"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

Bada Hari Das _ Radhe Shyam Meditation

Amala Harinam Prabhu / Sri Sri  Damodarastakam

"Politics and people will let you down and life can be very disappointing. At such a time, when you hear Krishna's flute... how can you resist?" - Cheb I Sabbah. 

"Live at Rudra Mandir" is the Kirtaniyas's first live album recorded on February 02/15/2013 at Rudra Mandir in Berkeley, California. 

The project was produced by the late Cheb I Sabbah who mixed and supervised mastering of the recording and was his last musical project.

Kirtaniyas are ever grateful for the opportunity to sing the glorious names of the Divine in a traditional form, using melodies and rhythms taken from the ancient Bhakti lands such as Vrindavan, India and Navadipa, Mayapura, India.

Radhe Shyam Meditation _ 2

Radharani Ki Jay

(1)
anādi’ karama-phale,  poḍi’ bhavārnava-jale,
toribāre nā dekhi upāy
e-viṣaya-halāhale,  divā-niśi hiyā jwale,
mana kabhu sukha nāhi pāy
 
(2)
āśā-pāśa-śata-śata,  kleśa deya avirata,
pravṛtti-ūrmira tāhe khelā
kāma-krodha-ādi choy,  bāṭapāḍe deya bhoy,
avasāna hoilo āsi’ belā
 
(3)
jñāna-karma—ṭhaga dui,  more pratārīya loi,
avaśeṣe phele sindhu-jale
e heno samaye, bandhu,  tumi kṛṣṇa kṛpā-sindhu,

(4)

TRANSLATION
1) I have fallen into the ocean of material existence as a result of my selfish activities, which are without beginning, and I see no means of deliverance from this great ocean of nescience. Day and night my heart burns from the poison of these worldly activities, and on account of this my mind never finds any satisfaction or happiness.
 
2) Hundreds and thousands of desires, like nooses around my neck, constantly give me misery and trouble. In that great ocean of nescience play the waves of materialistic tendency. In this world there are many thieves and rogues, of whom six are prominent; lust, anger, greed, illusion, and madness. They are causing me great fear, and in this way my life is coming to an end.
 
3) The two highway robbers, mental speculation and fruitive activity, have cheated me and misled me, and finally they are throwing me into the ocean of misery. At such a time as this, my dear Krsna, You are the only friend, and You are the ocean of mercy and compassion. I have no strength to get out of this ocean of nescience, so I pray to Your lotus feet that You will be kind and by Your strength uplift me from this ocean of suffering.
 
4) Accept this fallen servant and fix me as a particle of dust on Your lotus feet. Kindly give me shelter to this Bhaktivinoda. O most merciful Lord, actually I am Your eternal servant, but having forgotten this I have become bound up in the network of maya.

Kadamba Kanana Swami - 24 Hour Kirtan 2015 - New Vrindavan

Kirtan Sessions was an album that I released in 2012. Weaving together the ancient with the NOW. Where kirtan and sacred mantra meets dub, hiphop, and reggae. Being the first real album that I ever came out with, it was a magical journey of sacred expression. Meanwhile getting to collaborate with MC's and musicians that I was associating closely with at the time. As time went on and my skills in production increased, I began to cringe when I listened to the mixing and mastering on the project. Which lead me to KIRTAN SESSIONS - REWORKED. 

In this renewal, you may find that tracks have a whole new feel and taste to it. Some tracks ( like Hey Govinda and You Are The Lover) have been given a whole new beat structure and vibe. While others have just been touched up to make a cleaner more potent sound. Remastered... a bit remixed... fully reworked. 

I hope you enjoy these healing sound vibrations laced with beats and bass. 
Feel free to share the band camp link and let the world know.. 

With Love

TRANSLATION
1) More sweet than all other sweet things; more auspicious than all other auspicious things; the greatest purifier of all purifying things—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
2) The entire universe, from exalted Brahma down to the lowly clump of grass, is a product of the illusory energy of the supreme Lord. The only thing that is reality, reality, again I say reality—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
3) That person is a true preceptor, or a true father, a true mother, and a true friend also only if they teach one to always remember—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
4) There is no certainty when the last breath will come and put an abrupt halt to all one’s material plans; therefore it is wise to always practice chanting from very childhood—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
5) Lord Hari eternally dwells in that place where truly exalted, spiritually advanced souls sing in the mood of pure devotion—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
6) Aho! What a sorrow, what a great sorrow! More painful than any other misery in the world! Mistaking it as a mere piece of glass, the people have forgotten this jewel—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
7) It should be heard again and again with one’s ears; It should be uttered over and over with one’s voice; It should be perpetually sung and sung anew—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
8) It makes the entire universe seem insignificant as a blade of grass; it splendorously reigns supreme over all; it is full of eternally conscious divine ecstasy; it is supremely pure—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.

This Album does not belong to me. This is a devotional album Ten Million Moons by Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits.

Ten Million Moons

My Body Is A Temple (Krishna Murari)Ten Million Moons – Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits

The Bengali bhajan "Jaya Radha Madhava" composed by Vaisnava Acharya Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura is performed by Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits.
The song lyrics and English translation follow...

JAYA RADHA MADHAVA:
By Bhaktivinoda Thakura:

(1)

jaya rādhā-mādhava kuñja-bihārī
gopī-jana-vallabha giri-vara-dhārī

(2)

yaśodā-nandana braja-jana-rañjana
yāmuna-tīra-vana-cārī

TRANSLATION:

1) Krsna is the lover of Radha. He displays many amorous pastimes in the groves of Vrndavana, He is the lover of the cowherd maidens of Vraja, and the holder of the great hill named Govardhana.

2) He is the beloved son of mother Yasoda, the delighter of the inhabitants of Vraja, and He wanders in the forests along the banks of the River Yamuna!

 TRANSLATION:

(Refrain) O Radha! O beloved of Madhava! O You who are worshiped by all the young girls of Gokula! All glories unto You! All glories unto You!

1) You who dress Yourself in such a way as to increase Lord Damodara's love and attachment for You! O queen of Vrndavana, which is the pleasure grove of Lord Hari!

2) O new moon that has arisen from the ocean of King Vrsabhanu! O friend of Lalita! O You who make Visakha loyal to You due to Your wonderful qualities of friendliness, kindness, and faithfulness to Krsna!

3) O You who are filled with compassion! O You whose divine characteristics are described by the great sages Sanaka and Sanatana! O Radha, please be merciful to me!
