Friend of the Poor

Radharani Ki Jay

mama mana mandire raha niśi-din
kṛṣṇa murāri śrī kṛṣṇa murāri

 

(2)

bhakti pritī mālā candan
tumi nio he nio citta-nandan

 

(3)

jīvana maraṇa tava pūja nivedan
sundara he mana-hāri

 

(4)

eso nanda-kumār ār nanda-kumār
habe prema-pradīpe āratī tomār

 

(5)

nayana jamunā jhare anibār
tomāra virahe giridhāri

 

(6)

bandana gane tava bajūk jīvana
kṛṣṇa murāri śrī kṛṣṇa murāri

 

TRANSLATION

1) Please abide in the temple of my heart both day and night, O Krsna Murari, O Sri Krsna Murari!

 

2) Devotion, love, flower garlands, and sandalwood- please accept them, O Delighter of the Heart!

 

3) In life or in death I worship You with these offerings, Beautiful One, O Enchanter of the Heart!

 

4) Come, son of Nanda, and then, O Son of Nanda, I will offer Your arati ceremony with the lamplight of my love.

 

5) The waters of the Yamuna River cascade incessantly from my eyes in your separation, O Holder of Govardhana Hill!

 

6) May I pass my life absorbed only in songs of Your praise, O Krsna Murari, Sri Krsna Murari!

Like a River (Govinda Damodara)

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.

TRANSLATION
1) More sweet than all other sweet things; more auspicious than all other auspicious things; the greatest purifier of all purifying things—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
2) The entire universe, from exalted Brahma down to the lowly clump of grass, is a product of the illusory energy of the supreme Lord. The only thing that is reality, reality, again I say reality—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
3) That person is a true preceptor, or a true father, a true mother, and a true friend also only if they teach one to always remember—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
4) There is no certainty when the last breath will come and put an abrupt halt to all one’s material plans; therefore it is wise to always practice chanting from very childhood—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
5) Lord Hari eternally dwells in that place where truly exalted, spiritually advanced souls sing in the mood of pure devotion—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
6) Aho! What a sorrow, what a great sorrow! More painful than any other misery in the world! Mistaking it as a mere piece of glass, the people have forgotten this jewel—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
7) It should be heard again and again with one’s ears; It should be uttered over and over with one’s voice; It should be perpetually sung and sung anew—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.
 
8) It makes the entire universe seem insignificant as a blade of grass; it splendorously reigns supreme over all; it is full of eternally conscious divine ecstasy; it is supremely pure—The holy name of Sri Hari alone is everything.

Kishori Mohan das and Sudevi - Hare Krishna

Nadiya Godrume Nityanand Mahajan

Sri Prahlada was practically born into kirtan and has been singing and playing kirtan across the globe since childhood. He developed his initial fascination with kirtan attending school at ashrams in Australia and India. A natural musical talent, at age 12 he won a recording contract with record giant EMI, releasing two singles and an album entitled “Through the Eyes of a Child”. Sri Prahlada has performed kirtan in traditional, as well as rock and reggae styles before audiences of tens of thousands. Along with the likes of Krishna Das and Jai Uttal, he features in Steven Rosen’s book ‘The Yoga of Kirtan’ which contains in-depth interviews with 20 western kirtan artists.

At age 15 Sri Prahlada took formal spiritual initiation into the Chaitanya Vaisnava tradition from Hridayananda dasa Goswami (Howard J. Resnick, Ph.D.) a world-renowned teacher of both Sanskrit and Indian Studies, who has translated numerous Sanskrit texts and has written many corresponding commentaries, essays, articles, and novels. Sri Prahlada has also been mentored by the renowned bhakti-yoga master Indradyumna Swami, traveling as his assistant, secretary, and lead kirtan singer, from age 15 onwards for about 18 years.

Now based in Sydney Australia, Sri Prahlada often performs with the five-piece band featuring the hypnotic harmonium, rhythmic bass and mridanga drum, melodic guitar, chiming karatals, and vocal harmonies. Sri Prahlada’s heart and soul permeates every moment of every kirtan he sings, transporting his audience to the realm of spiritual consciousness.
