Govinda Jaya Jaya (Ananda Monet & Radhika Das) @ OmNom 09/06/23

Chaurashtakam

This is Srila Prabhupada’s spirit, para dukha dukhi. A devotee’s happiness is seeing other people happy. And real happiness is seeing other people receiving Krishna, loving Krishna. Bhaktivinoda Thakur wrote one prayer where he explains, What is that song about Narada Muni? Where he is talking about how Narada Muni is making everybody chant and everyone dance and everyone loving Krishna and everyone is chanting. And he said, “When that day comes, that will be my happiness. To see everyone chanting the holy names, everyone with tears of love of God in their eyes, that will be my happiness.”

The 'Sri Brahma Samhita' is a Sanskrit  Pancaratra text, composed of verses of prayer spoken by Lord Brahma  glorifying the supreme Lord Sri Krishna (Govinda), at the beginning of creation. 

It is revered within Gaudiya Vaishnavism, whose founder, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486–1534), re-discovered a part of the work, the 62 verses of Chapter 5, at the Adikeshav Temple in Thiruvattur, Kerala, Southern India in the 16th Century which had previously been lost for a few centuries.

Sri Brahma Samhita

------------
Oh Govinda 
------------

Oh Lord the sun's effulgence hides Your face,

Your blissful form lies far beyond my eyes,

But now Your wonders call my heart's embrace,

As dawn displays your beauty in the sky.


The rainbow shows the colors of Your dress,

The movements of the moon reflect Your mind,

Your smiling is the cause of happiness,

And love exists because You are so kind.


Oh Govinda within my heart, Celestial herdsman lotus eyed one,

Your precious gift of love impart, Oh you who stand behind the sun,

You're the one, You're the one in my heart.


Rolling rivers flow forth from your veins,

The clouds that fill the sky come from Your hair,

The seeds of life are watered by Your rains,

And from Your breathing blows the might air,

My Lord you are the source of all I see,

Your movements are the passing days of time,

You are the resting place of all that be,

And love exists because you are so kind.


Oh Govinda within my heart, Celestial herdsman lotus eyed one,

Your precious gift of love impart, Oh you who stand behind the sun,

You're the one, You're the one in my heart.

Oh Govinda

The Bengali bhajan "Aamara Jivan Sada Paperata" composed by Vaisnava Acharya Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura is performed by popular kirtaniya His Grace Swarupa Damodara dasa.
The lyrics and English translation follow....

(1)

āmāra jīvana,  sadā pāpe rata,

nāhiko punyera leṣa

parere udvega,  diyāchi je koto,

diyāchi jīvere kleśa

(2)

nija sukha lāgi’,  pāpe nāhi ḍori,

doyā-hīna swārtha-paro

para-sukhe duḥkhī,  sadā mithya-bhāṣī,

para-duḥkha sukha-karo

(3)

aśeṣa kāmanā,  hṛdi mājhe mora,

krodhī, dambha-parāyana

mada-matta sadā,  viṣaye mohita,

hiḿsā-garva vibhūṣana

(4)

nidrālasya hata,  sukārye virata,

akārye udyogī āmi

pratiṣṭha lāgiyā,  śāṭhya-ācaraṇa,

lobha-hata sadā kāmī

(5)

e heno durjana,  saj-jana-varjita,

aparādhi nirantara

śubha-kārya-śūnya,  sadānartha-manāḥ,

nānā duḥkhe jara jara

(6)

bārdhakye ekhona,  upāya-vihīna,

tā’te dīna akiñcana

bhakativinoda,  prabhura caraṇe,

kore duḥkha nivedana

TRANSLATION

1) I am an impious sinner and have caused others great anxiety and trouble.

2) I have never hesitated to perform sinful act for my own enjoyment. Devoid of all compassion, concerned only with my own selfish interests, I am remorseful seeing others happy. I am a perpetual liar, and the misery of others is a source of great pleasure for me.

3) The material desires within the core of my heart are unlimited. I am wrathful, devoted to false pride and arrogance, intoxicated by vanity, and bewildered by worldly affairs. Envy and egotism are the ornaments I wear.

4) Ruined by laziness and sleep, I resist all pious deeds; yet I am very active and enthusiastic to perform wicked acts. For worldly fame and reputation I engage in the practice of deceitfulness. Thus I am destroyed by my own greed and am always lustful.

5) A vile, wicked man such as this, rejected by godly people, is a constant offender. I am such a person, devoid of all good works, forever inclined toward evil, worn out and wasted by various miseries.

6) Now in old age, deprived of all means of success, humbled and poor, Bhaktivinoda submits his tale of grief at the feet of the Supreme Lord.

Even when they are a little off-beat or eccentric, the singers and musicians serving at the Radha Raman Mandir in Vrindavan always melt the heart.

Crying like a Child

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.
