Krishna Premi Dasi is a disciple of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, leader of the worlwide Hare Krishna Movement.  The following bhajans are from her 1984 album "Temple Of The Heart" and later material up to the early 1990's.  For me personally this is the most outstanding music of the 1980's, not only does the music still sound current but the shear timeless nature of the ancient Vedic mantra's, Invocations and prayers.  I played this music non-stop in the eighties and I still listen to it today!!!

HARE KRISHNA MAHA-MANTRA

Hare Krishna 
Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna
Hare Hare
Hare Rama
Hare Rama
Rama Rama
Hare Hare

Srila Prabhupada says:

Rama and Krishna are names of God, and Hare is the energy of God. So when we chant the maha-mantra, we address God together with His energy. This energy is of two kinds, the spiritual and the material. At present we are in the clutches of the material energy. Therefore we pray to Krishna that He may kindly deliver us from the service of the material energy and accept us into the service of the spiritual energy. That is our whole philosophy. Hare Krishna means, "O energy of God, O God [Krishna], please engage me in Your service." It is our nature to render service. Somehow or other we have come to the service of material things, but when this service is transformed into the service of the spiritual energy, then our life is perfect.

Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra 1:  Krishna Premi Devi Dasi:

 "Jaya Radha Madhava" Composed by powerful Vaisnava Acharya Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and is performed by Krishna Premi Dasi.
The Song lyrics and English translation follow... 

JAYA RADHA MADHAVA
From: Gitavali by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

(1)
jaya rādhā-mādhava kuñja-bihārī
gopī-jana-vallabha giri-vara-dhārī

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

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!

Jaya Radha Madhava: Krishna Premi Dasi:

 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!

"When Will That Day Be Mine" the English lyrics of the Bengali bhajan "Kabe Habe Bolo"  composed by Vaisnava Acharya Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and performed by Krishna Premi Dasi.

When Will That Day Be Mine:
by Bhaktivinoda Thakura:

1) When, O when, will that day be mine? When will you give me your blessings, erase all my offences and give my heart a taste [ruci] for chanting the Holy Name in purity?

2) When will I taste the essence of the Holy Name, feeling myself to be lower than the grass, my heart filled with tolerance? When will I give respect to all others and be free from desire for respect from them?

3) When will I cry out that I have no longer any desire for wealth and followers, poetry and beautiful women, all of which are meant just for bodily pleasure? O Gaura Hari! Give me causeless devotional service [bhakti] to your lotus feet, birth after birth.

4) When will my body be covered with goose bumps and my voice broken with emotion as I pronounce Krishna's name? When will my body change color and my eyes flow with endless tears as I chant?

5) When will I give up all thought of the world and society to run like a madman along the banks of the Ganges in Navadvipa, singing and dancing and sincerely calling out the names of Gaura and Nityananda?

6) When will Nityananda Prabhu be merciful to me and deliver me from the enchantment [maya] of the sense objects? When will he give me the shade of his lotus feet and the right to enter the market place [nama-hatta] of the Holy Name?

7) When will I buy, borrow or steal the ecstasies of the Holy Name? When will I lose myself in the intoxication of the Holy Name? When will I immerse myself in the nectar of the Holy Name after grasping the feet of a saint who constantly relishes the flavors [rasa] of devotion?

8) When will I feel compassion for all living beings [jivas]? When will I forget my own pleasure in genuine humility? And when will I, Bhaktivinoda, meekly go from door to door, preaching your message of love?
