Prayers by Queen Kunti performed by Karanamrta Dasi.

Prayers by Queen Kunti:

1) Let me therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto the Lord, who has become the son of Vasudeva, the pleasure of Devakī, the boy of Nanda and the other cowherd men of Vṛndāvana, and the enlivener of the cows and the senses. (Verse 21)

2) My respectful obeisances are unto You, O Lord, whose abdomen is marked with a depression like a lotus flower, who are always decorated with garlands of lotus flowers, whose glance is as cool as the lotus and whose feet are engraved with lotuses. (Verse 22)

3) I wish that all those calamities would happen again and again so that we could see You again and again, for seeing You means that we will no longer see repeated births and deaths. (Verse 25)

4) My Lord, Your Lordship can easily be approached, but only by those who are materially exhausted. One who is on the path of [material] progress, trying to improve himself with respectable parentage, great opulence, high education and bodily beauty, cannot approach You with sincere feeling. (Verse 26)

5) And yet others say that You appeared to rejuvenate the devotional service of hearing, remembering, worshiping and so on in order that the conditioned souls suffering from material pangs might take advantage and gain liberation. (Verse 35)

6) O Lord of Madhu, as the Ganges forever flows to the sea without hindrance, let my attraction be constantly drawn unto You without being diverted to anyone else. (Verse 42)

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.

Ceili in Braj! Hari Haraye ~ Jahnavi Harrison:

Saptadvīpa Dīpta Kôri’
Prema dāsa

saptadvīpa dīpta kôri’,    śobhe navadvīpa-purī,
ĵāhe viśvambhara debarāja
tāhe tā̃’ra bhakta ĵatô,    tāhāte śrīvāsa khyāta,
śrī kṛṣṇa-kīrtana ĵā̃’ra kāja (1)

Illuminating the seven islands of the world, Śrī Navadvīpa-purī shines due to the presence of that king among the gods, Śrī Viśvambhara. There, in the midst of Śrī Viśvambhara’s bhaktas, is the renowned Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita, whose life’s mission is śrī-kṛṣṇa-kīrtana.

jaya jaya ṭhākura paṇḍita
ĵā̃’ra kṛpā-leśa mātra,    hôiyā gaura-prema-pātra,
anupama sakala carita (2)

All glories, all glories to Paṇḍita Ṭhākura. By a speck of his mercy, one can become a recipient of gaura-prema. All of his pastimes are matchless.

gaurāṅgera sebā bine,    deba-debī nāhi jāne,
cāri bhāi dāsa-dāsī lôiyā
satata kīrtana-raṅge,    gaura gaura-bhakta-saṅge,
ahar-niśi prema-matta hôiyā (3)

Exclusively fixed in the sevā of Gaurāṅga, he does not know any demigod or goddess. Along with his four brothers, servants, and maidservants, he always revels in kīrtana—day and night—with Gaurāṅga and His devotees, intoxicated by prema.


ĵā̃’ra bhāryā śrī mālinī,    pati-bratā-śiromaṇi,
ĵā̃’re prabhu kahôye jananī
nityānanda rahe ghare,    putra-sama sneha kare,
stana jhare, netre bahe pānī (4)

His wife, Śrī Mālinī-devī, whom Mahāprabhu calls ‘Mother,’ is the crown-jewel of all chaste women. Nityānanda Prabhu resides in their house, and she loves Him as her own son. When she sees Nityānanda Prabhu, milk flows from her breasts and tears fall from her eyes.

kabhu bā īśvara-jñāne,    nati kare śrī caraṇe,
kabhu kole karôye lālana
prabhur nṛtya-bhaṅga lāgi’,    mṛta putra-śoka-tyāgī,
śuni’ prabhu karôye rodana (5)

Sometimes, knowing Mahāprabhu to be the Supreme Lord, Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita bows down at His lotus feet. But sometimes he takes Him on his lap to nourish Him. In order not to interupt the ecstatic dance of Mahāprabhu, he renounced any expression of sorrow at the death of his son. Hearing of this, the Lord wept.

bhrātṛsutā nārāyaṇī,    vaiṣṇava-maṇḍale dhvani,
ĵā̃’ra putra vṛndāvana dāsa
barṇiyā caitanya-līlā,    tribhubana uddhārilā,
prema dāsa kare ĵā̃’ra āśa (6)

Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita’s niece Nārāyaṇī was the voice of the Vaiṣṇava assembly. Her son Śrī Vṛndāvana dāsa described Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s līlās and thus delivered the three worlds. It is in him [Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita] that Prema dāsa keeps his hopes and aspirations.
