Ram krishna bhajan - this is how our senses should be(by Gaurav Krishna Goswami ji)

Ram Krishna bhajan


This is how our senses should be:

चाहे लख लख बात बनाईये , मुख सोना(beautiful) नही लगदा राम बिना ।
चाहे लख लख बात बनाईये , मुख सोना नही लगदा श्याम बिना ।
(chahe lakh lakh baat banaiye, mukh sona nahi lagda raam bina)

अंख सोनी नहीं प्रभु दे दर्श बिना, 
चाहे लख लख काजल पाईये , मुख सोना नही लगदा राम बिना...

कान सोने नही प्रभु की कथा बिना,
चाहे लख लख कुण्डला पाईये, मुख सोना नही लगदा राम बिना...

काया सोनी नही लगदी भजन बिना,
चाहे मल मल रोज़ नहाइए, मुख सोना नही लगदा राम बिना...

पग सोने नही वृन्दावन जाए बिना,
चाहे जग सारा  घूम आईये,  मुख सोना नही लगदा राम बिना...

very beautiful bhajan - kurbaan kyun naa jau, darbaar hai niraala


Kurbaan kyun na jau, darbaar hai niraala


This is very beautiful bhajan. This bhajan is sung is very touching tune..do listen
Lyrics-

कुर्बान क्यूँ ना जाऊ, दरबार है निराला ।
ठकुरानी राधा प्यारी, ठाकुर है नन्द लाला ।।
(Why i should not sacrifice myself to radha-krishna, they are out of this world,
Radharani is thakurani, Nand-Lal is thakur)

क्या खूब सज रही है, झूले में राधा रानी ।
झूला झूला रहे है, हँस हँस के नन्द लाला ।।

सखियों  के संग दोनों, रास रचा रहे है,
इस ओर राधा रानी, उस ओर नन्द लाला ।।

कुर्बान क्यूँ ना जाऊ, दरबार है निराला ...

क्या पूछते हो हमसे, पहचान उनकी क्या है ,
सिर पे मुकुट पे है बाँधा और श्याम रंग निराला ।।

बांके की छवि है बांकी, चितवन भी उनका बांका,
ये नयन कमल है बांके, बांका है नन्द लाला ।।

राधे राधे राधे राधे , गोविन्द राधे, गोपाल राधे  ।।

(Hindi font) Holi songs Krishna

Jai Shri Krishna,


Hindi Krishna bhajan-

aaj brij mein hori re rasiyaa,
hori re hori re barjori re rasiya.


आज बिरज में होरी रे रसिया,
आज बिरज में होरी रे रसिया।
होरी रे होरी रे बरजोरी रे रसिया।

घर घर से ब्रज बनिता आई,
कोई श्यामल कोई गोरी रे रसिया।
आज बिरज में होरी रे रसीया

इत तें आये कुंवर कन्हाई,
उत तें आईं राधा गोरी रे रसिया।
आज बिरज मे होरी रे रसिया।

कोई लावे चोवा कोई लावे चंदन,
कोई मले मुख रोरी रे रसिया ।
आज बिरज में होरी रे रसिया,

उडत गुलाल लाल भये बदरा,
मारत भर भर झोरी रे रसिया ।
आज बिरज में होरी रे रसिया।

चन्द्रसखी भज बाल कृष्ण प्रभु,
चिर जीवो यह जोडी रे रसिया ।
आज बिरज में होरी रे रसिया।
होरी रे होरी रे बरजोरी रे रसिया।

जय जय श्री राधे कृष्णा

One more awseome bhajan I have added in this post..

श्याम पिया मोरी रंग दे चुनरिया,
(Shyaam piyaa mori rang de chunariyaa)

लाल नहीं ओडू, मैं तो पीली नहीं ओडू,
अपने ही रंग में रंग दे सवारियां ।


Holi Krishna bhajan-


फाग खेलन बरसाने आये हैं, नटवर नंद किशोर।
घेर लई सब गली रंगीली, छाय रही छबि छटा छबीली,
जिन ढोल मृदंग बजाये हैं बंसी की घनघोर।

जुर मिल के सब सखियाँ आई, उमड घटा अंबर में छाई,
जिन अबीर गुलाल उडाये हैं, मारत भर भर झोर।

ले रहे चोट ग्वाल ढालन पे, केसर कीच मले गालन पे,
जिन हरियल बांस मंगाये हैं चलन लगे चहुँ ओर।

भई अबीर घोर अंधियारी, दीखत नही कोऊ नर और नारी,
जिन राधे सेन चलाये हैं, पकडे माखन चोर।

जो लाला घर जानो चाहो, तो होरी को फगुवा लाओ,
जिन श्याम सखा बुलाए हैं, बांटत भर भर झोर ।

राधे जू के हा हा खाओ, सब सखियन के घर पहुँचाओ,
जिन कबीरा पद गाए हैं, लगी श्याम संग डोर।

Uddhav gopi story - shri krishna leela

Radhe Radhe,

Gopi explain Uddhav what is love



Uddhav leela is very close to my heart.because it teaches that it is not mind but heart which is required for pure bhakti.

Uddhav ji was son of Vasudev's(Shri Krishna's father) little brother Devbhaag.
After his childhood, Devraj Indra took him to Swarg Lok(Heaven) and Uddav got education from DevGuru Vrihaspati.
After Kansa death, Uddhav Ji returned to Mathura and here he was main minister of Yadav's and became good friends with Shri Krishna.
Uddhav Ji had very good knowlegde of Shastra, Ved etc but he was missing Bhakti(devotion).
He was in the favour of Nirgun Brahman(the supreme reality without form, quality, gender) while Gopis were in favour of pure devotion(shuddh premabhakti).

"Real wise person(ज्ञानी) is that person who loves God without ego or greed(निश्छल और निष्कपट )"

To combine knowledge and Love, Shri Krishna sent Uddhav to Braj Bhumi.
Shri Krishna gave His peetambar and Vaijayanti mala to Uddhav and told Uddhav to meet Gopis in this attire otherwise gopis won't talk to you.
Shri Krishna also sent love message to all brajwaasi(mother, father, gopis etc) that He remembers them a lot.
Krishna instucted Uddav to meet nandbaba and mata yashoda  first.

As instructed , Uddhav ji first met with NandBaba and yashoda.
Nandbaba asked about the well being of Krishna.

NandBaba said.."Uddhav ji, We(gop-gwal, birds etc) consider Him(Krishna) everything, does he also remember us?
Sometimes i also feel, he is not in Mathura, but playing in my lap.He is touching my beard. Sometimes i feel, he is sitting on my shoulder touching my hair. i see him everywhere. Uddhav Ji, when will my kanhaiya return? What crime i have done?"
Saying all this, Nandbaba started crying.

Meanwhile Yashoda ji also came there and said-
"Can someone see dreams without sleeping? Sometimes i feel Krishna is in Mathura and sometimes i feel Krishna is in my lap."
Saying all this, Yashoda ji also started crying.

Yashoda ji also said, we pray to Lord Vishnu that wherever kanhaiya live, he should be happy.

Seeing Yashoda and Nandbaba in this state, half of his ego(ego of knowlegde) was destroyed like this.
Uddhav ji started to think, how to teach Yashoda and nandbaba about nirgun brahman knowledge.

"Nirguna means “without attributes”. The term “Nirguna Brahman” implies that God as the Absolute has no name and form or attributes"

It went from evening to morning (3:30am) like this talking about Krishna.
3:30 am is the time of Brahma Muhurta.
Now it was time for Gopis to wake up. They were chanting Shri Krishna name while making butter.
All the sound that was getting created due to making of butter started to sound like dholak(like drum).
It was making a sound like gham-gham.
Their bangles were making sound like chhan-chhan and it started to sound like Majira.
Shri Krishna name chanting and these sounds seemed like sankirtan.

Bhaj Govindam, Bhaj Govindam, Govindam bhaj hare hare,
krishna kanhaiya, bal mukundam, nand kumaram hare hare

It was habit of every Gopi that after completing their household work, they used to come to Nandbaba home and nandbaba ke praangan ko pranaam karna(Obeisance to countryard).
Whether krishna is there or not, it has no meaning for them, they used to come there daily.

On this day, Uddhav ji and Gopis met each other,
Uddhav ji told gopis that he has come here to give message of Krishna to you.
Recognizing peetambar and baijanti mala of krishna , Gopis did praanam(Obeisance) to Uddhav.

Gopis asked-"You have brought the message of which Krishna? Does Krishna live in Mathura only? See there, he is sitting on Kadamb tree playing flute. You see him only in Mathura but we see him everywhere"

Uddhav ji started to give them teaching of Nirgun Brahman.
Gopis said we don't know, what is sagun and what nirgun.
We only know about our love with Krishna.
Now each Gopi narrated their story about how they see Krishna everywhere in their daily life.

Shyam tan, Shyam man, Shyam hi humaro dhan,
aathon yaam humko udho(uddhav) shyam se hi kaam hai,
shyam heeye, shyam jeeye, shyam hi to khaye peeye,
andhe ki si laakdi , aadhar shyam naam hai,

Shyam mati, shyam gati, shyam hi to praan pati,
shyam sukhdaayi so, bhulaayi shobha dhaam hai,
shyaam aan, shyam praan, shyam hi humari shaan,
aadi ant madhya, humara shyamaviram hai.

After listening to each story, Uddhav damned his knowledge.
He thought, i know everything about sagun brahman, but never felt presence of God.
These brajwaasi are illiterate, still they are experiencing omniness of God.
He felt,my dry knowledge is of no use.

Now Uddhav ji requested for meeting Shri Radha Rani.
This story i will update in next part.

Meera bai bhajan

Here is a beautiful meera bai bhajan

-

This bhajan is based on the events that happened when Meera ji was in her in-laws palace and her husband had died.
After her husband(Rana Kumbha) and father-in-law Rana Sangha died , Meera was named his successor by Rana Sangha.
So Rana's relatives started to torture Meera even though Meera ji had no desire for throne(power of state).
While Meera ji was busy in Krishna bhakti,
tortures came like:
Meera was sent a basket with a cobra inside and a message that the basket contained a garland of flowers. Meera, after meditation, opened the basket and found inside a lovely idol of Sri Krishna with a garland of flowers. The relentless Rana (her brother-in-law) sent her a cup of poison with the message that it was nectar. Meera offered it to her Lord Krishna and took it as His Prasad. It was real nectar to her. The bed of nails that the Rana sent transformed into a bed of roses.


सारी सारी रात मीरा, हरि गुण गाये रे,
हरि गुण गाये मीरा , मस्त हो जाए रे ।
(meera ji in Krishna bhakti day and night, and overjoyed with Krishna's love)

राणा ने भेज्या जहर प्याला ,
मीरा ने समझया अमृत प्याला,
आप भी पीवे मीरा, हरि को पिलाये रे,
हरि गुण गाये मीरा , मस्त हो जाए रे..


राणा ने भेज्या नाग पिटारी,
मीरा ने समझया, कृष्ण मुरारी,
आप भी नाचे मीरा, हरि को नचावे रे,
हरि गुण गाये मीरा , मस्त हो जाए रे..

राणा ने भेज्या भोज बना के,
मीरा ने समझया भोग लगा दे,
आप भी खावे मीरा, हरि तो खिलाये रे,
हरि गुण गाये मीरा , मस्त हो जाए रे..

This bhajan is not available with me in digital format, may be i will sing it and upload it(just to tell you the tone of bhajan, how to sing it..:)

punjabi krishna bhajan - translation in english


Punjabi krishna bhajan-

A very beautiful punjabi bhajan.
i am also translating in english in case you don't know punjabi.

किथो रंगायियाँ, पुछ दियां सारियां,
जदो तेरे नाम दियां चडिया खुमारियां ।

(From the time i have got passion for your name,
Everyone is asking me, from where i have got this color of love for shri krishna)


सांवरिया ने किता ऐ कमाल सी,
शहंशाह बनाया मैं तां युगां दी कंगाल सी,
किथो लबे श्याम मेनू, पुछ दियां सारियां,
जदो तेरे नाम दियां चडिया खुमारियां....

(Shri Krishna is amazing,
i was a poor being, he has made me king(not referring to money here, referring to love),
Everyone is asking me, where i found Shyam,
From the time i have got passion for your name....)

हित श्री मेरेया मिलाया संजोग जी,
मिट गए दुःख सारे, होइयां निरोग जी,
जनम जनम दियां कडियाँ बीमारियाँ,
जदो तेरे नाम दियां चडिया खुमारियां....

(Shri Krishna has done such coincidence,
my all miseries have gone away, i have no disease,
all my diseases lasting from ages have gone away,(not referring to diseases of body, referring to diseases like hatred, ego, jealousy etc)
From the time i have got passion for your name....)

karunamayi krishna priya, bhav paar laga dena - by sri thakur ji

Beautiful bhajan by sri thaku ji-


राधे रानी से यही प्रार्थना है:

करुणामयी कृष्ण प्रिया, भव पार लगा देना,
जब याद करू तुमरी, मुझे अपनी शरण लेना ।
(karunamayi krishna priyaa, bhav paar laga dena,
jab yaad karu tumri, mujhe apni sharan lena)

सुत मात पिता भ्राता, सब मतलब का नाता,
जब तन से प्राण निकले, नर इकला ही जाता,
झूठे इस बंधन में , मेरे खुल ना सके नैना ।
जब याद करू तुमरी...

जीवन की अंतिम प्रार्थना हर एक भक्त की एक ही तो होती है-

राधे इस जीवन में, मैंने और ना कुछ माँगा,
जब तन से प्राण निकले, तेरा दर्शन ही माँगा,
जब मन पर कष्ट पड़े, मेरे बहने लगे रे नैना...

Maiya mori mein nahi makhan khayo lyrics and video


Maiya mori mein nahin makhan khaayo lyrics-

मैया मोरी मैं नहीं माखन खायो,
मैया मोरी मैं नहीं माखन खायो...

इस भजन की वास्तविकता हम सब जानते है, कान्हा ने माखन तो खाया था,
और मैया ने देख भी लिया था,
परन्तु अब मुह से निकल गया, तब ठाकुर जी तर्क देने लगे..

भोर भयो गैयन के पाछे,
तूने मधुबन मोहे पठायो,
चार पहर वंशी वट भट्कयो,
सांझ परे घर आयो,
री मैया मोरी मैं कब माखन खायो...
(bhor bhayo gaiyan ke paache,
tune madhuban mohe pathaayo,
chaar pahar vanshi vat bhatkayo,
saanjh pare ghar aayo)

अब ये तर्क नहीं चला, तो दूसरा तर्क देने लगे..

मैया मोरी, मैं बालक, बैयन को छोटो,
ये छींको किस विधि पायो.

मैया बोली, बातें मत बनाओ, ये मुह पर माखन कैसे लगा??

मैया ये ग्वाल-बाल सब बैर पड़े हैं,
बरबस मुख लपटायो,
मैया मोरी मैं नहीं माखन खायो... :)

When Shri Krishna went to Mathura


जब श्री कृष्ण वृन्दावन छोड़ कर मथुरा को जाने लगे, तब गोपियों की जो हालत हुई, उसका मार्मिक वर्णन भजन के रूप में प्रस्तुत है :

(when Shri Krishna went to Mathura, then Gopis felt like this:)


प्राण प्यारा मथुरा जाते, ले गया सबकी जान,
विसरा दी छलिये ने युगों की, इक पल में पहचान ।

(praan pyaara mathura jaate, le gaya sabki jaan,
visra di chhaliye ne yugon ki, ik pal mein pahchaan)


अन्सुअन जल से सींच-सींच कर , बेल प्रेम की बोई,
अँधेरी रातों में जाग - जाग , मैं तेरी याद में रोई,
नव- नव आशाओं की कलियों से , प्रेम की माला पिरोई,
सुख गयी सब स्नेह लताएं, ऐसी होनी होई,
ठंडी साँसों में बदल गयी, प्रेम भरी मुस्कान ,

(ansuan jal se seench -seench kar, bel prem ki boi,
andheri raaton mein jaag-2, mein teri yaad mein roi,
nav-2 aashaon ki kaliyon se, prem ki mala piroi,
sookh gayi sab sneh latayein, aisi honi hoi,
thandi saanso mein badal gayi, prem bhari muskaan)

विसरा दी छलिये ने युगों की, इक पल में पहचान...
visra di chhaliye ne yugon ki, ik pal mein pahchaan


मृदुल सुकोमल कलियों पर, आज हुआ हिमपात,
जीत गया कर्त्तव्य सखी री, हुई प्रेम की मात,
विफल हो गयी शीतल आहें, लगा कठोर आघात,
कौन रचेगा रास अनुपम, शरद पूनम की रात,
सारी आशाएं धूमिल हो गयी, कुंठित हो गया गान,

विसरा दी छलिये ने युगों की, इक पल में पहचान...
(mridul sukomal kaliyon par, aaj hua himpaat,
jeet gaya kartavya sakhi ri, hui prem ki maat,
viphal ho gayi sheetal aahein, laga kathor aaghaat,
kaun rachega raas anupam, sharad poonam ki raat,
saari aashayein dhumil ho gayi, kunthit ho gaya gaan,

visra di chhaliye ne yugon ki, ik pal mein pahchaan)
