Srila Narayana Maharaja - Sri Rupa Manjari Pada

The traditional Vaishnava bhajan "Radhe Syam Yugala Nama" by Vedic Acharya Krsna Dasa Kaviraja also known as "Sri Vraja Dhama Mahimantra" or "Jaya Radhe Jaya Krishna Jaya Vrindavana", Performed by Karnamrita Devi Dasi. The English translation of the Lyrics follow......

RADHE SHYAMA YUGALA NAMA

(Refrain): All glories to Sri Radha! All glories to Sri Krsna! All glories to their abode of Vrndavana! All glories to the gopis who are the jewel of the crown of the rasika mood.
 
1) In this ecstatic mood, Krsna sings "Radhe Radhe" and Radha sings "Syam Syam!" The Holy Name and the divine pair of Radhe Syam are my life and soul.
 
2) I only have one treasure within this life. The son of Nanda Maharaja, the enchanter of all, and pleasure giver to Radharani are my life and soul.
 
3) Syama is the only person who I love. My daily life, mind, body, and soul is being overwhelmed by the love of Syama.
 
4) I am verily the maidservant of Srimati Radharani, who is the eternal queen of the  eternal abode of Vrndavana.
 
5) My wish is to obtain a daily practice of doing eternal service in the eternal abode. Thus, I wish to keep my life in the way my master, Srimati Radharani, desires.

Par Karenge

(traditional song)

 

par karenge naiya re, bhaja krishna kanhaiya,

krishna kanhaiya dauji ke bhaiya

krishna kanhaiya vamshi bajaiya,

makhana curaiya re, bhaja krishna kanhaiya (1)

 

Worship Kanhaiya*, the brother of Balarama. Kanhaiya’s lotus feet are the boat to

take us across the ocean of material life. Worship Kanhaiya, that Krishna who stays in

Vraja, playing the flute and from every gopi’s house steals butter (that is, the soft and

pure white hearts that are like butter).

[*Kanhaiya - Yashoda-maiya’s pet name for her darling son. This name is brimming over with sweetness and affection.]

 

krishna kanhaiya girivara uthaiya,

krishna kanhaiya rasa racaiya

para karenge naiya re, bhaja krishna kanhaiya (2)

 

Worship Kanhaiya, that Krishna who lifted Govardhana Hill and performed the Rasali

la. His lotus feet are the boat to take us across the ocean of material life.

 

mitra sudama tandula lae,

gale laga prabhu bhoga lagaye

kaha kaha kaha bhaiya re, bhaja krishna kanhaiya (3)

 

When His friend Sudama brought Him some low-grade rice, He accepted it, embraced

him and cried, “O My brother, you haven’t come for such a long time! Where have

you been? Did you forget Me?” Worship that Krishna!

 

arjuna ka ratha rana me haka,

shyamaliya giridhari baka

kali-naga nathaiya re, bhaja krishna kanhaiya (4)

 

In the Mahabharata war Shyamaliya became Arjuna’s

chariot driver, directing the horses on the battlefield. He lifted Govardhana Hill at

such a tender age and He subdued Kaliya-naga by putting a rope through his nose,

dragging him out of the Yamuna. Worship that Krishna!

 

drupata-suta jaba dushtana gheri,

rakhi laja na kini deri

agaye cira badhaiya re, bhaja krishna kanhaiya (5)

 

Worship that Kanhaiya who immediately came to protect Draupadi by increasing

her cloth unlimitedly when she was surrounded by so many wicked men.

TRANSLATION

(1-2)

All glories to Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the son of Sacidevi. Great sages and demigods always sing His praise, for by doing so, the fear of repeated birth and death is cut to pieces. All glories to the kirtana of the holy name of Krsna, for when one chants the holy name of Krsna and dances in ecstasy, the filth of this iron age of Kali disappears.

(3-4)

Sri Caitanya delights all eyes with his charming beauty. He is the most dearly beloved Lord of all and the intimate brother of Visvarupa. He brings the highest auspiciousness to everyone, for He floods the entire universe with the nectar of love of godhead and thus saves all living beings. All Glories to Laksmipriya and Visnupriya-devi, who are very dear to Sri Nimai Pandita. All glories to Their dear family servant, Isana.

 (5-6)

All glories to Sita Thakurani and Sri Advaita Acarya, all glories to Malini devi and Srivasa Thakura, and all glories to Acarya Candrasekhara. all glories to Srila Nityananda Prabhu, Gadadhara Pandita and Haridasa Thakura, the Namacarya.

 (7-8)

All glories to Murari Gupta, and all glories to Mukunda Dutta. All glories to all the other eternal associates of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. By singing the glories of Srila Prabhupada(*) and all those great souls who are eternal associates of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, even the lowest of men can obtain the highest treasure of divine love.

Poem by Nistha: 
Srila Prabhupada, today is your disappearance day, 
To glorify you there aren’t enough words to say. 

Spiritual teacher, inspiration, and source of motivation, 
You spread Krishna’s names throughout all nations. 

This bhajan “Samsara Davanala” is a fervent prayer, 
For you to protect us from maya’s snare. 

Srila Prabhupada you’ve told us the secret on how to get out of here, 
To serve and love Krishna, oh so very clear. 

Please bless us to develop a little bit of Krishna prem, 
I’ve forgotten Krishna and am so ashamed. 

We can never repay you for all that you have bestowed, 
You are truly in the lord’s abode.

All glories to you Srila Prabhupada!

Sri Guruvastakam Lyrics & meaning by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur: 

(1)
saḿsāra-dāvānala-līḍha-loka-
trāṇāya kāruṇya-ghanāghanatvam
prāptasya kalyāṇa-guṇārṇavasya
vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam

The spiritual master is receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy. Just as a cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master delivers the materially afflicted world by extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is an ocean of auspicious qualities.

(2)
mahāprabhoḥ kīrtana-nṛtya-gīta-
vāditra-mādyan-manaso rasena
romāñca -kampāśru-tarańga-bhājo
vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam
 

 Chanting the holy name, dancing in ecstasy, singing, and playing musical instruments, the spiritual master is always gladdened by the sankirtana movement of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Because he is relishing the mellows of pure devotion within his mind, sometimes his hair stands on end, he feels quivering in his body, and tears flow from his eyes like waves. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

(3)
śrī-vigrahārādhana-nitya-nānā-
śṛńgāra-tan-mandira-mārjanādau
yuktasya bhaktāḿś ca niyuñjato 'pi
vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam

The spiritual master is always engaged in the temple worship of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna. He also engages his disciples in such worship. They dress the Deities in beautiful clothes and ornaments, clean Their temple, and perform other similar worship of the Lord. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

(4)
catur-vidha-śrī-bhagavat-prasāda-
svādv-anna-tṛptān hari-bhakta-sańghān
kṛtvaiva tṛptiḿ bhajataḥ sadaiva
vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam

The spiritual master is always offering Krsna four kinds of delicious food [analyzed as that which is licked, chewed, drunk, and sucked]. When the spiritual master sees that the devotees are satisfied by eating bhagavat-prasada, he is satisfied. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

(5)
śrī-rādhikā-mādhavayor apāra-
mādhurya-līlā guṇa-rūpa-nāmnām
prati-kṣaṇāsvādana-lolupasya
vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam
 

The spiritual master is always eager to hear and chant about the unlimited conjugal pastimes of Radhika and Madhava, and Their qualities, names, and forms. The spiritual master aspires to relish these at every moment. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

(6)
nikuñja-yūno rati-keli-siddhyai
yā yālibhir yuktir apekṣaṇīyā
tatrāti-dākṣyād ati-vallabhasya
vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam
 

The spiritual master is very dear, because he is expert in assisting the gopis, who at different times make different tasteful arrangements for the perfection of Radha and Krsna's conjugal loving affairs within the groves of Vrndavana. I offer my most humble obeisances
