Genuine Cry

Before chanting the Hare Krsna Maha Mantra I chant the Panca Tattva Maha Mantra; offering respectful obeisances to the five members of the Panca Tattva (see Wikipedia); makes everything, even my attempt here, auspicious.

Ilan Chester - Symphony Of The Soul- Gauranga

Ceili in Braja - Hari Haraye performed by Jahnavi Harrison aka Jahnavi devi dasi.
The English translation of the song lyrics follow...

Hari Haraye Namah Krsna:
by Narottama Dasa Thakura:

1) Hari! Obeisances to Lord Hari, unto Krsna, and Yadava. Obeisances to Lord of the Yadus, Madhava, Kesava.

2) Gopala! Govinda! Rama! O vanquisher of Madhu! Giridhari! Lord of the gopis! Bewilderer of cupid!

3) Sri Caitanya, Nityananda, Sri Advaita-Sita!  Hari! Guru! Vaisnavas! Srimad Bhagavatam! Bhagavad Gita!

4) All glories to Srila Rupa Goswami, Sanatana Goswami and Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami, to Srila Jiva Goswami, Gopala  Bhatta Goswami, and Raghunatha Dasa Goswami!

5) I bow to the feet of these six Goswamis. By their grace, our obstacles can be destroyed and all desires are fulfilled.

6) I am the servant of these six Goswamis. The dust of their lotus feet is my fivefold subsistence.

7) To be a servant of their lotus feet and to reside in the company of devotees--this is my aspiration birth after birth.

8) When these six Goswamis lived in Vraja, they revealed the eternal pastimes of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna.

9) In ecstasy, sing the name of Lord Hari and worship Vrndavana, joyfully fixing your mind upon the lotus feet of the bona-fide spiritual master and the pure devotees.

10) The lotus feet of my guru and the Vaisnavas are my aspiration. Narottama Dasa thus sings Hari-nama sankirtana.

Maha Mantra

HH Indradyumna Swami / Songs by the Gopis

This beautiful recording of the traditional bhajan Nitai Pada Kamala was recorded by Ramdas Abhiram Das (Kevin Yee) at his painting studio in Florence, Italy.

He sang and played all the instruments on this piece - flute, santoor, sarod, tabla and more, and recorded it himself layer by layer on a simple 8-track recorder.

This beautiful recording has never been publically released, but is uploaded with a desire to share the lesser known, but no less sublime, creative work of this lifelong devotional artist, who passed away in July 2020.

I feel extremely indebted to Ramdas and his wife Dhrti, for their many decades of artistic service. Their paintings have offered inspiration and spiritual connection to countless people all over the world, and as teachers, they have gifted their students with instructions to be treasured for life.

I was grateful to study with them for a month in India in 2007. Though many years ago, the experience is one I have returned to time and time again for fresh inspiration and guidance.

More on Ramdas:
Born in 1951 in Maui, Hawaii, as Kevin Albert Yee, Ramdas Abhiram Das, graduated with a degree in Fine Art from California State University at Fullerton. He began his career by doing illustration work, first for an international publishing company and later for the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (BBT). In 1980 he relocated to Florence, Italy, where he studied at the Academia de Siena and the Academia de Arte Firenze and learnt the art and techniques of fresco and egg tempera. He was the Art Director for the Italian BBT for six years. Though trained initially in classical art and illustration, over the years he has developed his own style, marked for its spontaneity and mystique. Narratives set amidst nature, he has painted more than 300 oil paintings and his work has been exhibited in Italy, France, Belgium, England, South Africa, and India.

Gotta get back to my ocean
gotta trust in my emotion 
gotta get back to my sweet ocean
no more be a fish aflappin' on the killing shore

"Where words leave off, music begins" Heinrich Heine

kali-kale nama-rupe krsna-avatara
nama haite haya jagat nistara

"In the Age of Kali the holy name of the Lord is the incarnation of Lord Krsna. Simply by chanting the Holy Names one can associate with the Lord directly. Anyone who does this is certainly delivered." Caitanya Caritamrta Adi Lila 17.2

Jaya Srila Prabhupada! 
Jaya Sri Vaisnavas!
