Maha Mantra - 12 Hour Kirtan - April 3 2011

In May of this year my good friend Sridhar invited me to a Hare Krishna Kirtan conclave in North Carolina, saying he knew how much I loved Kirtan. He also knew that I was a little shy of the ISCON movement in general but still I was curious since one of the first introductions to Indian spirituality was through the Sunday morning feasts and chant at the local Hare Krishna temple in my hometown of Montreal, Quebec.

I arrived and sat in a large hall with about 1500 ecstatic people being led in the Hare Krishna Hare Ram chant by a very charismatic chant leader with a big backing band. His name was Madhava Prabhu and I was instantly transported into an altered state of singular absorption through the great mantra (Maha Mantra) as it’s called - through the names of the divine representatives – Krishna and Ram, which truly represent our own true nature. This without any effort or exertion or thinking I had to get somewhere - anywhere at all - just a natural lifting up of my spirit.

So that was the end of my judging mind of this group - "They have it right!" I thought. Just lose the intellectual mind stuff and be taken by the waves of music and the bhava (expression of spiritual passion) and glide through the vicissitudes of the daily Kali Yuga.

Maharaji asked me once what I did for a living. I was a radio station program director at the time, but before I could say anything he said to me in English “Broadcaster”. And that’s all I have done in my life since then - to share whatever it is that I love. So enjoy Madhava Prabhu!

Hare Bol!

HG Madhava Prabhu - Master of the Bhava

The Bengali bhajan "Je Anilo Prema Dhana" by Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura is performed by Swarupa Damodara Dasa.  The song lyrics and English translation follow....

LYRICS
(1)
je ānilo prema-dhana koruṇā pracur
heno prabhu kothā gelā ācārya-ṭhākur
 
(2)
kāhā mora swarūp rūpa kāhā sanātan
kāhā dāsa raghunātha patita-pāvan
 
(3)
kāhā mora bhaṭṭa-juga kāhā kavirāj
eka-kāle kothā gelā gorā naṭa-rāj
 
(4)
pāṣāṇe kuṭibo māthā anale paśibo
gaurāńga guṇera nidhi kothā gele pābo
 
(5)
se-saba sańgīra sańge je koilo bilās
se-sańga nā pāiyā kānde narottama dās
 
 TRANSLATION

1) He, who brought the treasure of divine love and who was filled with compassion and mercy--where has such a personality as Advaita Acarya gone?
 
2) Where are my Svarupa Damodara and Rupa Gosvami? Where is Sanatana? Where is Raghunatha Dasa, the savior of the fallen?
 
3) Where are my Raghunatha Bhatta and Gopala Bhatta, and where is Krsnadasa Kaviraja? Where did Lord Gauranga, the great dancer, suddenly go?
 
4) I will smash my head against the rock and enter into the fire. Where will I find Lord Gauranga, the reservoir of all wonderful qualities?
 
5) Being unable to obtain the association of Lord Gauranga accompanied by all of these devotees in whose association He performed His pastimes, Narottama Dasa simply weeps.

~Sri Brahma-samhita~@di

Loknath Maharaj  Kirtan

The Bhakti Center Fundraiser 'Srila Prabhupada's Dream', evoked a meditation on the courageous actions of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who came to New York City in 1965. 

'Lover of the Lord', an original song by Michael Cassidy/Mangalananda Das, illuminates the beautiful character of Prabhupada, singing the refrain 'When I see his love I know, I've got a long long way to go, when will I taste the love that he is feeling inside?'

'Markine Bhagavat Dharma' is a rendition of a few verses from a poem written in Bengali by Srila Prabhupada, sitting aboard the cargo ship as it pulled into Commonwealth Harbour in Boston. After more than 38 days and two heart attacks onboard, he contemplates his mission and prays 'Oh Lord, make me dance as a puppet in your hands...'

Bhaja Gauranga - As Kindred Spirits

oḿ pūrnnam adahh pūrnnam idaḿ pūrnnāt pūrnnam udacyate
pūrnnasya pūrnnam ādāya pūrnnam evāvasissyate

(Invocation) The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance

OM PURNAM

Monsoon Raga BBGS and Gopal Bhajan Band

Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
