Narsimha Aarti by hh bhakti charu swami maharaj

Musician Jahnavi Harrison interweaves music, prose and poetry in a celebration of the women who choose to dedicate their lives entirely to God.

She explains that she has always been fascinated what it is that drives a woman to leave behind worldly affairs and adopt a life of seclusion and near-constant prayer. Though the tradition is timeless, with today's calls for feminine independence and gender equality the choice to be a nun feels just as radical and relevant as it might have in the past.

Jahnavi explores the life of Emahoy Maryam Tsegue-Gebroue, an Ethiopian nun whose prodigious talent as a pianist has led to her records being adored all over the world. We also meet the "maharis", Indian temple dancers who were dedicated at a young age, considered to be brides of God, taking part in a wedding ceremony and wearing all the markings of married women.

With readings from the 13th century Christian mystic Mechtild of Magdeburg, St Saint Clare of Assisi, the Bhagavad Gita and ancient Buddhist poetry from the Therigatha and music including the work of Christian polymath Hildegard of Bingen, The Flamingos and Yamuna Devi.

The song lyrics follow -

KRSNA DEVA BHAVANTAM VANDE:
by Srila Rupa Goswami:

deva! bhavantam vande
man ma-nasa ma-dhukaram arpaya nij a pa-da pa-nkaj a m-akarande 

(1)
0 Bhagavan Sri Krsna! I am offering a prayer to You. Please attach the bee of my mind to the nectar of Your lotus feet, meaning please let it have a taste of the rasa of those lotus feet by which it will then never be able to become attached to anything else.

yadyapi samadhisu vidhir api pasyati, na tava nakhagramaricim
idam icchami nisamya tavacyuta! tad api krpadbhuta vicim 

(2)
Although Brahma in his samadhi cannot obtain a glimpse of even a ray of the tips of the nails of Your feet, still hey Acyuta! Having heard of the waves of Your astonishing mercy, I yearn to see You.

bhaktir udancati yadyapi madhava! na tvayi mama tila matriparamesvarata tad api tavadhika, durghata ghata-na vidha-tri 

(3)
0 Madhava! Although I don't possess even a sesame seed of bhakti for You, by Your supreme power which makes the impossible possible, please fulfil the desires of my heart.

ayam avi atayadya sanatana, kalitadbhuta rasa b-haramnivasatu nityam ihamrta nindini-, vindan madhurima saram 

(4)
Hey Sanatana! Your lotus feet put to shame the sweetness of heavenly nectar. Therefore please make the bee of my mind undistracted by material desires and give me eternal residence at Your lotus feet — this is my only prayer.
