Kirtan - Kadamba Kanana Swami - 27th March 2018 - Durban, South Africa

World renowned Vedic Acharya Srila Prabhupada performs the Bengali bhajan "Jaya Radha Madhava" composed by Vaisnava saint Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
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!

7) Father, mother, lover, son, Lord, preceptor, and husband; You are everything to me.

Mahatma Prabhu was born in Los Angeles, California in 1950.

In January of 1970 he moved into the temple in Berkeley, California and shortly after received first and second initiation.

He went on to do a variety of services including book distribution, sankirtan leader, temple president, college preaching, congregational development, and various educational projects. This has culminated in the work he does today developing workshops, social media, online courses and books both for devotees as well as the general public through his company Sattva Life  https://sattva-life.mn.co) ].
