हरे कृष्णा !!!!

Krishna hai jinka naam, unke charan hai mera param dham!
.
.
Madhurya ke pratimah hain Jo, baste hai mere mann mein voh!
.
.
Radha ke Naath hain yeh murli dharohar, Maa Yashoda ke shaan hain mere gokul manohar!
.
.
Jagannath jee ka rath ho, yah Ram jee ka dhanush baan ho,
.
.
Sai Nath ke neem ke kutiya ho, yah Maa Bhagwati ke bhawan ho,
.
.
Hey Keshav, meri har saans mein aapka he vaas ho!
.
.
Is duniya ke rachayita hain jo, aese Shri Bhagwan ko mera dandhwat pranam !
.
.
Govind jai Jai, Gopal Jai Jai! Radha Raman Hari Govind Jai Jai!!!




This is the link of one of my favorite bhajans by Vikram for Lord krishna, whose lyrics and meanings i have pasted below:

A a very beautiful bhajan, sung in the devotional voice of Vikram Hazra of Art of Living foundation, which was founded and formed by Sri Sri Ravinshankar, lovingly and gratefully called as Guruji (One who leads to light), incidentally i remember a quote that had slept through His mouth, from where wisdom flows with the grace and ease, as the waters of the rivers flow.

The quote is, as i remember, 'I am not leading you, I am behind you and pushing you (towards light or consciousness or God or knowledge or whatever one may want to call it.)' For more such pearls of wisdom one might visit Daily Sutras, where one can find short quotes with significant and deep knowledge that can change one's life radically if one ponders only on few of those. These shortest of expressions with the profoundest meanings can are available in different languages like English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Hindi, Portuguese and Marathi.

Another one which had made an impact on me and sounds so meaningful is that the God is seen and perceived as the father or the loving Mother, if one can see God as child. When the spiritual journey starts, God has to be taken care of as a pregnant mother takes care of her child. Most attention is on the child and everything else is of less importance, which dominated until now, or else the child might be lost. Similarly once the spiritual journey starts if utmost care is not taken and attention start gathering on else, there is a danger of losing the greatest.

This bhajan has some great Sutra within the lyrics of this devotional song, one of the favorite of Vikram Bhaiya as i have herd in most Art of Living Satsangs.

This bhajan points to us that we need the devotion and love like Mira, faith, patience and love like Sabri, immense unconditional love of Gopis, or a love of a Mother (Yashodaji) that can make the God listen and respond instantly.

Below are the lyrics or words or text of the Bhajan

* Achyutam Keshwam, Krishna Damodaram
Ram Narayanam, Janaki Valabham,

Kaun kehate hai Bhagwan atte nahi
tum Meera ke jaisi bulate nahi

*

Kaun kehate hai Bhagwan khate nahi
Ber Sabri ke jaisi kilate nahi

*

Kaun kehate hai Bhagwan sote nahi
maa Yashoda ke jaisi sulate nahi

*

Kaun kehate hai Bhagwan nachte nahi
gopiyonki tara tum nachate nahi

*

Achyutam Keshwam, Krishna Damodaram
Ram Narayanam, Janaki Valabham,

Hare KRISHNA!!!!

..# The Illusions of my mind ..^ ''


My sketch looks so dark,
Have i lost the love for my art ?
.
.
My big eyes appear so empty,
Have i become so indifferent to the sufferings of this humanity ?
.
.
My mind sounds so dull,
Is no science bright enough to lit my skull ?
.
.
My tongue weighs not even a pound,
Is no syllable powerful enough to produce something that sounds ?
.
.
My toes can trace no path,
Have i forgotten all my goals that urge me to move far & far ?
.
.
Still my hands like a puppet shake to an fro,
When will the ball of desires stop rolling in these unending rows ?
.
.
Oh Divine, give me the essence of life...
Let me take a step to end everyone's miseries in this human tie !
.
.
For my soul when connected to yours,
Finds no charm in the unpredictable breaths that each life throws..
.
.
Oh Holy God, i submit me to you!
For my wheel of life be guided by no one else but you!!
