Sita Ram (Radhika Das) @ OmNom 03/03/23

Senior Vaisnava Discussions - P2 (Mayapur 8/2/24)

Vrinda & Lali Bhagavatam story 1.1

Srila Prabhupada gives an explanation of the Bengali bhajan "Gay Gaura Madhur Sware" by the powerful Vedic Acharya Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
The song lyrics and English translation follow....

GAY GAURA MADHUR SWARE:
By Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura:

(1)
gāy gorā madhur sware
hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare
hare rāma hare rāma rāma rāma hare hare

(2)
gṛhe thāko, vane thāko, sadā 'hari' bole' ḍāko,
sukhe duḥkhe bhulo nā'ko, vadane hari-nām koro re

(3)
māyā-jāle baddha ho 'ye, ācho miche kāja lo 'ye,
ekhona cetana pe'ye, 'rādhā-mādhav' nām bolo re

(4)
jīvana hoilo śeṣa, nā bhajile hṛṣīkeśa
bhaktivinodopadeśa, ekbār nām-rase māto re

Translation:

 1) Lord Gaurasundara sings in a very sweet voice, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

2) Whether you are a householder or a sannyasi, constantly chant "Hari! Hari!" Do not forget this chanting, whether you are in a happy condition or a distressful one. Just fill your lips with the hari-nama.

3) You are bound up in the network of Maya and are forced to toil fruitlessly. Now you have obtained full consciousness in the human form of life, so chant the names of Radha-Madhava.

4) Your life may end at any moment, and you have not served the Lord of the senses, Hrsikesa. Take this advice of Bhaktivinoda Thakura: "Just once, relish the nectar of the holy name!"

Srila Prabhupada ~ Purport on Gay Gaura Madhur Sware:

Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmi Vandanā 
nama oṁ visṇu-pādāya rādhikāyai priyātmane 
śrī-śrīmad-bhaktivedānta-nārāyaṇa iti nāmine (1) 
I offer praṇama to oṁ viṣṇupāda Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Mahārāja, who is very dear to Śrīmatī Rādhikā. 


Śrī Abhidheyādhideva Praṇāma 
dīvyad vṛndāraṇya kalpa drumādhaḥ 
śrīmad ratnāgāra siṁhāsana sthau 
śrī-śrī-rādhā-śrīla govinda devau 
preṣṭhālībhiḥ sevyamānau smarāmi 
I meditate upon Śrī Śrī Rādhā Govinda deva, who are seated beneath a kalpa-vṛkṣa tree on an effulgent bejeweled siṁhāsana in the supremely beautiful land of Vṛndāvana, where They are always being served by Their beloved sakhīs, headed by Lalitā and Viśakhā.

O my Radharaman! Giridhārī! Shyam, Banvāri! You have eaten butter by stealing and made imputation of theft over Gopis. He is butter thief, He is Murari (subdue of demon Mura), Giridhārī, Shyam and Banvāri.

O Giridhārī, Shyam, Banvārī: Devotee Sudama brought rice to you and you made him king of the-three worlds. You are very sympathetic to the poor.

aise prem pujārī Giridhārī Śyām Banvārī, mero… 
You did not accept delicious food given by Duryodhan, while you accepted simple preparations at the home of Vidur. O Giridhārī, Shyam, Banvārī! You are such a worshipper of love.

About Srimad Bhakti Vedanta Muni Maharaj
Srimad Bhakti Vedanta Muni Maharaj was born in 1973 in a Gaudiya Vaisnava family in Orissa, India. His parents were high-class Vaisnavas whose mercy from childhood gave him a deep impression in Krsna consciousness. Their house was none other than a Math or temple where aratikas, kirtans, reading the Puranas such as Srimad-Bhagavatam and so on, went on continuously throughout the year. Many high-class Vaisnavas joined there regularly without formal invitation. Therefore, from the beginning of his life, Maharaj had the chance to serve the Vaisnavas.

Srimad Muni Maharaj has many unprecedented qualities in producing devotional music. He composed hundreds of traditional devotional songs that are widely appreciated around the world. He has given his music and voice to more than ten devotional albums, which are giving inspiration to countless devotees around the world. His albums are in Oriya, Bengali, Sanskrit and Hindi languages. He injects his own unique and creative inspiration into those albums. Without any formal education in music from any academic school or teacher he accomplished his devotional singing and skill in directing his devotional music. He firmly believes his aforesaid talent has been gifted by Sri Guru and Sri Krsna. 
Now presently he is traveling extensively in Western countries as well as in India, preaching the message of Srimad Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam by the order of his diksa and siksha Gurudevas. There is some speciality in his preaching that he can speak and sing according to the subject matter in order to invoke an attractive environment amongst the audience. He prefers to present devotional topics in this musical way rather than delivering lectures that are helpful in controlling the unsteady mind. He has translated and published a number of devotional books in the regional language.
Srimad Muni Maharaj for twelve years has looked after his own preaching center, Sri Gour Govinda Gaudiya Ashram. After the aprakat-lila of Srila Gurudeva Bhaktivedanta Narayan Gosvami Maharaj in late 2010, the succeeding years became difficult for him to maintain the Ashram in his separation, and most of the time he stayed in Sri Vrindavan Dham. Therefore he decided to reside in Vraj Mandal in early 2012.
In his ashram “Radha Govinda Asram" in Radha-Kunda, the most holy pilgrimage place in the world, Srimad BV Muni Maharaj gives intensive training to bramacharis in serving the eternal divine couple Sri Radha-Krsna. An increasing number of spiritual seekers, new devotees from around the globe come to him for guidance. Upon invitations he travels within India and abroad to spread the message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
He continues inspiring people with his preaching activities and his deep soul-searching devotional songs that have become his trademark for the pleasure of Sri Radha-Krishna and his Guru-varga.
