TRANSLATION
Introductory verse: I offer my repeated obeisances unto Vrnda, Srimati Tulasi Devi, who is very dear to Lord Kesava. O goddess, you bestow devotional service to Lord Krsna and possess the highest truth.
 
1) O Tulasi, beloved of Krsna, I bow before you again and again. My desire is to obtain the service of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.
 
2) Whoever takes shelter of you has his wishes fulfilled. Bestowing your mercy on him, you make him a resident of Vrndavana.
 
3) My desire is that you will also grant me a residence in the pleasure groves of Sri Vrndavana-dhama. Thus, within my vision I will always behold the beautiful pastimes of Radha and Krsna.
 
4) I beg you to make me a follower of the cowherd damsels of Vraja. Please give me the privilege of devotional service and make me your own maidservant.
 
5) Dina Duhkhi Krsnadasa prays, ''May I always swim in the love of Sri Radha and Govinda.
 
6)* By the circumambulation of Srimati Tulasi Devi all the sins that one may have committed are destroyed at every step, even the sin of killing a brahmana.
 

Śrī-Tulasī Ārati - Gaura Manī devi dāsī

The Bengali bhajan "Je Anilo Prema Dhana" by Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura is performed by Swarupa Damodara Dasa.  The song lyrics and English translation follow....

LYRICS
(1)
je ānilo prema-dhana koruṇā pracur
heno prabhu kothā gelā ācārya-ṭhākur
 
(2)
kāhā mora swarūp rūpa kāhā sanātan
kāhā dāsa raghunātha patita-pāvan
 
(3)
kāhā mora bhaṭṭa-juga kāhā kavirāj
eka-kāle kothā gelā gorā naṭa-rāj
 
(4)
pāṣāṇe kuṭibo māthā anale paśibo
gaurāńga guṇera nidhi kothā gele pābo
 
(5)
se-saba sańgīra sańge je koilo bilās
se-sańga nā pāiyā kānde narottama dās
 
 TRANSLATION

1) He, who brought the treasure of divine love and who was filled with compassion and mercy--where has such a personality as Advaita Acarya gone?
 
2) Where are my Svarupa Damodara and Rupa Gosvami? Where is Sanatana? Where is Raghunatha Dasa, the savior of the fallen?
 
3) Where are my Raghunatha Bhatta and Gopala Bhatta, and where is Krsnadasa Kaviraja? Where did Lord Gauranga, the great dancer, suddenly go?
 
4) I will smash my head against the rock and enter into the fire. Where will I find Lord Gauranga, the reservoir of all wonderful qualities?
 
5) Being unable to obtain the association of Lord Gauranga accompanied by all of these devotees in whose association He performed His pastimes, Narottama Dasa simply weeps.

Hare Krishna Kirtan 4

The Bhakti Center Fundraiser 'Srila Prabhupada's Dream', evoked a meditation on the courageous actions of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who came to New York City in 1965. 

'Lover of the Lord', an original song by Michael Cassidy/Mangalananda Das, illuminates the beautiful character of Prabhupada, singing the refrain 'When I see his love I know, I've got a long long way to go, when will I taste the love that he is feeling inside?'

'Markine Bhagavat Dharma' is a rendition of a few verses from a poem written in Bengali by Srila Prabhupada, sitting aboard the cargo ship as it pulled into Commonwealth Harbour in Boston. After more than 38 days and two heart attacks onboard, he contemplates his mission and prays 'Oh Lord, make me dance as a puppet in your hands...'

"Lover of the Lord" - by Gaura Vani, Jahnavi and Youssef - 11.27.2018

This Album does not belong to me. This is a devotional album Ten Million Moons by Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits.

For American born lead singer Gaura Mani, the love affair with kirtan began at a very young age.

“When I was two years old, living at the Detroit Devasadan Mandir, my mother would play tapes of Srila Prabhupada’s kirtan while she cooked,” Gaura Mani recalls.

From the early 1980s to mid 1990s, while she went to gurukula schools in Detroit, Los Angeles, and North Carolina, Gaura Mani would start singing kirtan at 4:00am every day, with the traditional mangala arati prayers. And from the age of six, she and her sister would play mridanga and harmonium at Krishna conscious home programs their parents held on weekends.

All this kirtan, coupled with visits every few years to Vrindavana, the land of Lord Krishna’s birth, left Gaura Mani deeply attached to the mischievous cowherd boy.
During one later visit to Vrindavana, Gaura Mani met her husband-to-be Param Dasa, who had moved there from Punjab with his family, and had joined ISKCON at seventeen.

“The first time I met him, he was singing kirtan in the temple, as he did every evening,” she says. “I just couldn’t get enough of his kirtan. Every time he sang it just melted my heart. We were formally introduced in front of my parents, and began to spend time with each other by doing kirtan together!” India, when we perform, audiences are attracted because we have a slightly Western style of kirtan,” she says. “They come for the Western feel, and then realize that they’re chanting Hare Krishna, calling out the Lord! The crowd goes completely wild, and their energy bounces back to me. It’s very real, very uplifting. I go into another dimension, like I’m not even in this world anymore.”

Developing their devotion and working on their craft through live performances, The Vrajavadhus finally released their first album “Take Me Home” An incredible 35,000 people, including members of the press, attended to chant and dance along as The Vrajavadhus played their album in full. “I feel like there’s nothing greater than to sing for Krishna,” Gaura Mani says. “Being united with Him in that way gives me the highest feeling of ecstasy. I pray to be constantly engaged in this service, and I never want it to end. Kirtan forever!”


Dedication
The Vrajavadhus Kirtanwali dedicate their humble service to the Founder Acarya of the International Society of Krishna Consciousness, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. We pray for his blessings in spreading the movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu throughout the world.
