Niranjan Swami Bhajans - 12 Hour Kirtan - 02 - 2011 - 07 - 15 Toronto

Jahnavi - Bhaja Gauranga at The Nehru Centre

This English prayer was offered to Srila Prabhupada in Calcutta, 1971, by Yamuna Devi. Now on the 4th anniversary of Yamuna Devi rejoining Srila Prabhupada, we offer this to Yamuna's dearest friend, Dina, who no doubt misses her and Srila Prabhupada beyond what can be expressed.

Our enormous thanks to Govinda Ghosh, who worked around the clock with anyone who walked in to his home to be a part of this offering. He worked so hard, but said he just wants to do something nice for Dina.

Nitya Amara Shri Guru
English prayer to Srila Prabhupada by Yamuna Devi, 1971
Adaptation and Bengali translation by Shrivas Beriault
1)
Sahasra-koti jiva, samsara bhramiya, koti-koti-janma gelo
Kichu dhanya-jana, bhakti-lata-dhana, guru-krishna-krpaya pelo

Thousands, millions of souls, are wandering this world, for millions of births. Some fortunate ones attain the treasure of devotion, which is like a beautiful, blooming vine, by the mercy of Guru and Krishna.

Chorus:
Nitya amara sri guru, ei krpa magi ami
Yugala-charana prema prakashite smarana kori

Oh my eternal spiritual master, I beg this mercy! May I be in constant remembrance of the dawning of love for the Divine Couple’s lotus feet.

2) Nama-guna-lila-bhakta, kirtane jagata bhuli
Tomara charana paite – ei krpa magi sada

Singing Their names, glories, pastimes, and glorifying Their devotees, may I forget this world. I beg the mercy of attaining your feet.

3) braja-kunje basi, shravana-kirtana, maha-mantra preme gai
Tomara krpaya, bhakti-lata-bija, praphullita habe tai

I pray to sit in the groves of Braja, hearing and chanting, singing the Mahamantra in great love. By your mercy, the seed of the bhakti-lata will then sprout.

4) Kapata matsarya, kama-krodha-lobha, ahankari bhakta
Nama-sankirtane, chindiya chadibo, ei saba mayara shakha

Hypocrisy, envy, lust, anger, greed, and the false devotee ego – by Nama-sankirtana may I sever and discard all these weeds of maya.

5) Vrndavane tada, radha-damodara-priya, saundarya-prakashe tara
Kataksa-darshana-paiya, hrdaya sarvanande, bhasi amara

Then, in Vrndavana, in the glow of beloved Radha-Damodara’s beauty, I will catch that wistful glance, and my heart will be consumed with all joy.

6) nitya amara sri guru, tumi sata shuddha-bhakta
Kripamayi dite sabe, radhara guhya krsna seva

O my spiritual master, you are truly a pure devotee! Mercifully, you gave us the secrets of Radha’s service to Krishna.

7) shridhama navadvipe, pibo bhakti-mata-vanya
Avidya ahankara chadi gaibo, tumi hrt-mandire sada

In Shridama Navadvipa, may I drink of the flood of devotion. Giving up arrogance and ignorance, I will sing of your place in my heart forever.  



Yamuna's Prayer To Prabhupada - for Dina from Friends

Song Name: Nitai Pada Kamala
Official Name: Nityananda Nistha Song 1; Mana Siksa
Author: Narottama Dasa Thakura
Book Name: Prarthana
Language: Bengali
 
LYRICS:
(1)
nitāi-pada-kamala, koṭi-candra-suśītala
je chāyāy jagata jurāy
heno nitāi bine bhāi, rādhā-kṛṣṇa pāite nāi
dṛḍha kori' dharo nitāir pāy
 
(2)
se sambandha nāhi jā'r, bṛthā janma gelo tā'r
sei paśu boro durācār
nitāi nā bolilo mukhe, majilo saḿsāra-sukhe
vidyā-kule ki koribe tār
 
(3)
ahańkāre matta hoiyā, nitāi-pada pāsariyā
asatyere satya kori māni
nitāiyer koruṇā habe, braje rādhā-kṛṣṇa pābe
dharo nitāi-caraṇa du'khāni
 
(4)
nitāiyer caraṇa satya, tāhāra sevaka nitya
nitāi-pada sadā koro āśa
narottama boro dukhī, nitāi more koro sukhī
rākho rāńgā-caraṇera pāśa
 
TRANSLATION
1) The lotus feet of Lord Nityananda are a shelter where one will get the soothing moonlight not only of one, but of millions of moons. If the world wants to have real peace, it should take shelter of Lord Nityananda. Unless one takes shelter under the shade of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, it will be very difficult for him to approach Radha-Krsna. If one actually wants to enter into the dancing party of Radha-Krsna, he must firmly catch hold of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.
 
2) Anyone who has not established his relationship with Nityananda Prabhu is understood to have spoiled his valuable human birth. Such a human being is actually an uncontrollable animal. Because he never uttered the holy name of Nityananda, he has become merged into so-called material happiness. What can his useless education and family tradition do to help him?
 
3) Being maddened after false prestige and identification with the body, one is thinking, oh, what is Nityananda? What can He do for me? I don't care. The result is that he is accepting something false to be truth. If you actually want to approach the association of Radha-Krsna, you must first achieve the mercy of Lord Nityananda. When He is merciful toward you, then you will be able to approach Radha-Krsna. Therefore you should firmly grasp the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.
 
4) The lotus feet of Nityananda are not illusion; they are a fact. One who engages in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda is also transcendental. Always try to catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. This Narottama dasa is very unhappy, therefore I am praying to Lord Nityananda to make me happy. My dear Lord, please keep me close to Your lotus feet.

Hare Krishna Maha Mantra Japa by HH Radhanath Swami

Radhanath Swami is a Vaishnava sanyassi (a monk in a Krishna-bhakti lineage) and teacher of the devotional path of Bhakti-yoga. He is author of The Journey Home, a memoir of his search for spiritual truth. His teachings draw from the sacred texts of India such as The Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, and Ramayana, and aim to reveal the practical application of the sacred traditions, while focusing on the shared essence which unites apparently disparate religious or spiritual paths.
Born Richard Slavin, on December 7, 1950, in his teens he came to confront a deep sense of alienation from suburban Chicago life and the civil injustices of mid-century America. At the age of nineteen, while on a summer trip to Europe, his internal struggles culminated in a commitment to search for God wherever it might lead him. Meditating on the Isle of Crete, he felt a supernatural calling and the next morning set off alone to find spiritual India. The Journey Home documents his odyssey as a penniless hitch-hiker though Greece, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and finally India. There he lived as a wandering ascetic, first amongst the forest dwelling Himalayan yogis and later amongst a wide variety of gurus and spiritual practitioners throughout India and Nepal. Ultimately, he was led to the holy town of Vrindavan, where he found his path amongst the Bhakti-yogis.
In Vrindavan he found the teacher he was searching for in A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977) the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and representative of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, (the Krishna-bhakti tradition stemming from the 16th century mystic avatar Sri Chaitanya). In choosing Bhaktivedanta Swami, as his guru, Radhanath Swami felt compelled to shear his matted locks and reenter Western society with a mission to share the sacred wisdom he had received. This return exemplifies the form of devotional yoga which is at the heart of Radhanath Swami’s teachings, a spiritual practice expressed as tangible action meant to bring about personal fulfillment and benefit the world.
At the the age of 31 he took the monastic vows of a Vaishnava sanyassin and became known as Radhanath Swami.
Today Radhanath Swami travels regularly throughout India, Europe and North America, sharing the teachings of Bhakti-yoga. He resides much of the year at the Radha Gopinath Ashram in Chowpatty, Mumbai. For the past twenty-five years he has guided the community’s development and has directed a number of acclaimed social action projects including Midday Meals, which daily serves more than 260,000 plates of sanctified vegetarian food to the children of the slums of Mumbai. He has also worked to establish missionary hospitals and eye camps, eco-friendly farms, schools and ashrams, an orphanage, and a number of emergency relief programs throughout India.
