Krishna Govinda Govinda Gopala - Aaradhakananda & Pravesh | Kirtan Sessions

Siksastakam

This track is from my Bliss of Kirtan album and is available for purchase on my website at this link: https://nateshkirtan.com/store.

Much has also been written about this mantra, known as the Mahamantra (Great Mantra) to devotees of Lord Krishna and Vaishnavites (devotees of Lord Vishnu) generally.  It dates back to the Kali-Santarana Upanishad, which is associated with the Krishna Yajurveda, and was popularized as part of the bhakti movement started by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the late 15th century, and more recently in the West by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

This composition for the mantra has two melodic parts, and the track opens with a bansuri intro by Steve Gorn.  The track features Prajna Vieira joining Natesh on call and response vocals.  In addition to Steve Gorn on bansuri, the track instrumentally features Benj Clarke on acoustic upright bass, Daniel Paul on tabla, Ben Leinbach on drums and hand percussion, and Natesh on guitar, drums and hand percussion.

The lyrics are:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krisha Hare Hare
  Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Meaning:

As I understand it is interpreted in Swami Prabhupad's 'Hare Krishna' movement, "Hare" is a form of Harā, a name of Rādhā, Krishna's beloved, and none other than Shakti. Thus Harā refers to "the energy of God" while Krishna and Rama refer to God himself, and mean "He who is All-Attractive" and "He who is the Source of All Pleasure," respectively.

Hare Krishna Mantra (Enchanting)

An original song composed of sanskrit verses from the ancient spiritual text,  the Srimad Bhagavatam and set against epic film music.   

The Scene:
The handful of warriors that manage to survive the great battle of Kurukshetra gather before the greatest warrior of all, Grandsire Bhishma. He lies on a bed of arrows, holding his life energy inside his battle-destroyed body until an auspicious time to depart.

He speaks with wisdom on the ultimate transcendental religious principle: surrender unto the Supreme Lord and love Him with every breath, movement, word and thought. The inevitable time for his soul to leave his body has now come…

Translation of the Sanskrit:
(Shrimad-Bhagavatam, by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada)

1.9.14: This is all due to inevitable time, under whose control everyone in every planet is carried, just as the clouds are carried by the wind.

1.9.1: Being afraid for having killed so many subjects on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra, Maharaja Yudhishthira went to the scene of the massacre. There, Bhishma was lying on a bed of arrows, about to pass away.

1.9.10: Lord Shri Krishna is situated in everyone's heart, yet He manifests His transcendental form by His internal potency. This very Lord was sitting before Bhishma, and since Bhishma knew of His glories, he worshiped Him duly.

Chorus: This is all due to inevitable time, I believe.

1.9.24: May my Lord, who is four-handed and whose beautifully decorated lotus face, with eyes as red as the rising sun, is smiling, kindly await me at that moment when I quit this material body.

1.9.39: At the moment of death, let my ultimate attraction be to Shri Krishna, the Personality of Godhead. I concentrate my mind upon the chariot driver of Arjuna who stood with a whip in His right hand and a bridle rope in His left, who was very careful to give protection to Arjuna's chariot by all means. Those who saw Him on the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra attained their original forms after death.

1.9.43: Thus Bhishma merged himself in the Supersoul, Lord Shri Krishna, the Supreme

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

Narada Muni has always been a huge figure in my life. Transcendental Space Man.. travels all over the universe singing, dancing and playing his veena. Transforming the world by finding  the nectar in where we already are. Finding the beauty in our attachments and from that revealing the right direction.

Ananda Rasa kirtan : Mulani dub Kirtan 'Radhe Govinda' (feat. The Mayapuris) track 8

Natesh has been chanting in the kirtan tradition for over 40 years, first connecting with this transformational spiritual practice in 1979.  He has led regular kirtan in Sedona, AZ, since 2004 and has led kirtan at BhaktiFest, ShaktiFest and other festivals. He's composed over 200 chants since 2004 and his chants have been called “some of the most beautiful melodies I’ve heard" and his singing "deeply soulful." His Bliss of Kirtan album has evoked comments like "stunningly beautiful for the ear and for the soul" and "a lovely and profound offering."

In 2016, Natesh became deeply connected with Brahmarishi Mohanji (www.mohanji.org) and has composed a number of chants dedicated to Mohanji, some of which are here on Soundcloud.
