Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Swami leading kirtan (devotional singing of the Lord's names) at Bhaktivedanta Manor.

The kirtan begins with the song commonly known as "Yaśomatī Nandana," by Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura (the official name is Śrī Nāma-kīrtana):

yaśomatī-nandana, braja-baro-nāgara,
gokula-rañjana kāna
gopī-parāṇa-dhana, madana-manohara,
kāliya-damana-vidhāna ||1||

Lord Kṛṣṇa is the beloved son of mother Yaśodā; the transcendental lover in the land of Vraja; the delight of Gokula; Kāna [a nickname of Kṛṣṇa]; the wealth of the lives of the gopīs. He steals the mind of even Cupid and punishes the Kāliya serpent. (1)

amala harinām amiya-vilāsā
vipina-purandara, navīna nāgara-bora,
baḿśī-badana suvāsā ||2||

These pure, holy names of Lord Hari are full of sweet, nectarean pastimes. Kṛṣṇa is the Lord of the twelve forests of Vraja, He is ever-youthful and is the best of lovers. He is always playing on a flute, and He is an excellent dresser. (2)

braja-jana-pālana, asura-kula-nāśana
nanda-godhana-rākhowālā
govinda mādhava, navanīta-taskara,
sundara nanda-gopālā ||3||

Kṛṣṇa is the protector of the inhabitants of Vraja; the destroyer of various demoniac dynasties; the keeper and tender of Nanda Mahārāja’s cows; the giver of pleasure to the cows, land, and spiritual senses; the husband of the goddess of fortune; the butter thief; and the beautiful cowherd boy of Nanda Mahārāja. (3)

yāmuna-taṭa-cara, gopī-basana-hara,
rāsa-rasika, kṛpāmoya
śrī-rādhā-vallabha, bṛndābana-naṭabara,
bhakativinod-āśraya ||4||

Kṛṣṇa wanders along the banks of the River Yamunā. He stole the garments of the young damsels of Vraja who were bathing there. He delights in the mellows of the rāsa dance; He is very merciful; the lover and beloved of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī; the great dancer of Vṛndāvana; and the shelter and only refuge of Ṭhākura Bhaktivinoda. (4)

Compass (Gaura Vani & Family) @ OmNom (28/07/23)

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.”

Sunday Feast Kirtan - Kadamba Kanana Swami - 1Oth May 2015 - Brisbane,AUS

KKS Bhajans - Vibhavari Sesa - 2015 - 06 - 15 UK

Srila Prabhupada performs Amara Jivana "Amara Jivan" a lament directed at the Lotus Feet of Lord Krishna by the powerful Vaisnava Acharya Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
In this song Srila Bhaktivinoda is describing the life of the people in general, taking himself to be one of them. He says that "My life is always engaged in sinful activities, and if you try to find out, you will not find even a trace of pious activities -- only sinful activities."  The bhajan is performed by the world renowned Vedic Acharya His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.  The English translation of the song follows....

AMARA JIVANA
by Bhaktivinoda Thakura.

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.
