TRANSLATION

1) O mind just worship the lotus feet of the son of Nanda, which make one fearless. Having obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of worldly existence through the association of saintly persons.

 

2) Both in the day and at night I remain sleepless, suffering the pains of the heat and cold, the wind and the rain. For a fraction of flickering happiness I have uselessly served wicked and miserly men.

 

3) What assurance of real happiness is there in all of one's wealth, youthfulness, sons, and family members? This life is tottering like a drop of water on a lotus petal; therefore you should always serve and worship the divine feet of Lord Hari.

 

4) It is the desire and great longing of Govinda Dasa to engage himself in the nine processes of bhakti, namely hearing the glories of Lord Hari and chanting those glories, constantly remembering Him and offering prayers to Him, serving the Lord's lotus feet, serving the Supreme Lord as a servant, worshiping Him with flowers and incense and so forth, serving Him as a friend, and completely offering the Lord one's very self.

Bhaja Hu Re Mana - december 2023 - Jagattarini devi dasi

This track was recorded in the secluded and sacred setting of Radha Banebihari Mandir, an ashram in the mountainous Venables Valley. 

Yamuna Devi sings a few lines of an English prayer written by her spiritual master, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and then sings Mahamantra, accompanied by members of the Venables Valley (AKA Saranagati) community. 

Yamuna Devi was renowned in her lifetime as a bhakti practitioner of greatest depth, as well as accomplished chef, writer, artist and singer of devotional songs and kirtan. Her voice was lauded by George Harrison of The Beatles, who offered to record and produce a solo album for her. Though this never happened, he produced the Radha Krishna Temple Album, on which she sang lead - it reached the top 5 in charts across Europe in 1972.  She passed away in December 2011.

Yamuna Devi_"Adore Ye" and Mahamantra_April2005_Venables Valley, Canada

The song that I shared at the very end of Why Nam weekend party with live concert in July, 2017 in Koh Phangan, Thailand.
It's a live recording, so the quality is organic.
The melody of Gayatri mantra came through me a few years ago when I really needed and prayed for the inner light, and it's been becoming longer ever since.
When I sing, it's a prayer of the heart. 
It's my way to connect to the nature and something greater than me. 
Some parts of the song are inspired by Tina Malia and my friend Heather a.k.a creature.

Lyrics and Translation 

Radhe Shyam Mere , kripa nidhan mere 
Pal pal hum tere, balihari huae

Oh my dearest Radhe Shyam, oh most merciful 
Moment to moment , I offer my love to you

Radhe Shyam mere, Tere Dar per khade 
Kab hume apni seva pradaan kare 
Hare Krishna ......

Oh my dearest Radhe Shyam, I am standing at your doorstep
Oh when, oh when will will you grant me your service 

Radhe Shyam mere, tan mein prana tere
Kaise jaane tujhe , maan ki yeh aas hai 
Hare Krishna ......

Oh my dearest Radhe Shyam, you are the life giving force(prana)within me

Kaise kaate isse, yeh samjha mujhe
Hare Krishna ......

Oh my dearest Radhe Shyam, oh when will I meet you 
Oh please , Oh please tell me how do I pass even a moment without you here
(in the material world)

Radhe Shyam mere, rakh le prana mere
Charan seva teri, daan kar de mujhe 
Hare Krishna ......

Oh my dearest Radhe Shyam, please take this life force of mine(prana) 
But please donate(daan) to me the service at your lotus feet

Radhe Shyam mere, daya nidhan mere 
Gir ke uthne se yeh, gyan hua hai hame
Hare Krishna ......

Oh my Dearest Radhe Shyam , oh most benevolent
In my most fallen state, you have given me this realization
