Lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 3.30.30--19 March 2021 in Austin, Texas

Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord, I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care for Radha and Krishna
And so I swallow poison knowingly.

Hare Krishna mantra comes straight from Krishnaloka
But with chanting I have no connection.
Day and night I’m burning in this dark world
Without working to make the correction.

Lord Krishna comes as Saci’s son
Balarama descends as Nitai.
By chanting the wretched have all been saved
Including Jagai and Madhai.

Oh my Lord, Oh Son of King Nanda
Together with Vrishabhanu’s daughter.
I’ve got no shelter but Radha and Krishna
Humbly prays Narottam Das Thakur

Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord, I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care for Radha and Krishna
And so I swallow poison knowingly.

I've Spend My Life Uselessly by Narottama Das Thakur

This is the English translation of the powerful Bengali bhakti bhajana "Hari Hari Viphale" by the great Vaisnava acharya, Srila Narottama Das Thakur

Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care to serve Radha and Krishna
So I swallow poison knowingly, knowingly.

Hare Krishna mantra comes straight from Krishna Loka,
But with chanting I have no connection.
Day and night I’m burning in this dark world
Without working to make the correction, no correction.
        
Lord Krishna comes as Sachi’s Son,         
Balarama descends as Nitai.
By chanting, the wretched have all been saved,
Including Jagai and Madhai.

Oh my dear Lord, O Son of King Nanda,
Together with Vrishabhanu’s daughter—
“I’ve got no shelter but Radha and Krishna,”
Humbly prays Narottama Das Thakur.

Although I’ve come to this human form
My Lord I’ve spent my life uselessly.
I did not care to serve Radha and Krishna
So I swallow poison knowingly.
I did not care to serve Radha and Krishna
So I swallow poison knowingly.

Do Not Kill Cows. By Sankarshan Das
 
The cow's our mother giving us milk
After first mother no longer can.
So how we can kill and eat her?
This I do not understand. 

If your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I'll convince you that we should not kill cows.
 
She gives us ice cream, yogurt and more
Without asking even for a penny.
So how we can then kill and eat her?
What an atrocious pity!
 
So if your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I'll convince you that we should not kill cows.
 
The karma we get for eating a cow
Is to be killed and eaten too.
So to get ourselves free from being slaughtered
This is what we now have to do.
 
If your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I'll convince you that we should not kill cows.

Yes,  if your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I'll convince you that we should not kill cows. 

(Spoken). Take it seriously.

04 Hare Krishna Maha Mantra

------------
Oh Govinda 
------------

Oh Lord the sun's effulgence hides Your face,

Your blissful form lies far beyond my eyes,

But now Your wonders call my heart's embrace,

As dawn displays your beauty in the sky.


The rainbow shows the colors of Your dress,

The movements of the moon reflect Your mind,

Your smiling is the cause of happiness,

And love exists because You are so kind.


Oh Govinda within my heart, Celestial herdsman lotus eyed one,

Your precious gift of love impart, Oh you who stand behind the sun,

You're the one, You're the one in my heart.


Rolling rivers flow forth from your veins,

The clouds that fill the sky come from Your hair,

The seeds of life are watered by Your rains,

And from Your breathing blows the might air,

My Lord you are the source of all I see,

Your movements are the passing days of time,

You are the resting place of all that be,

And love exists because you are so kind.


Oh Govinda within my heart, Celestial herdsman lotus eyed one,

Your precious gift of love impart, Oh you who stand behind the sun,

You're the one, You're the one in my heart.
