Bhajan - Rahul Choudhary- ye zindagi hai aapki, o saanwre piya

Bhajan - Rahul Choudhary- ye zindagi hai aapki, o saanwre piya
lagta nahin hai aap bin, jag mein mera jeeya

This bhajan is sung in taunt sort of mood to Thakur g.
Devotee explains his plight to thakur g.
How devotee doesn't find any joy in worldly belongings.

How devotee is crying without You,
You should have given instead given poison,
what was my fault in this.


ये ज़िन्दगी है आपकी, ओ सांवरे पिया,
लगता नहीं है आप बिन, जग में मेरा जीया।।

इच्छा तुम्हारे अंक में बैठी रहू सदा,
तू बेवफाई कर भला, हो ना बेवफा,
रुस्वाई करने का सबब क्यूँ तुमने चुन लिया,

लगता नहीं है आप बिन, जग में मेरा जीया।।

रोते हुए यूँ छोड़ना, जाना ना था भला,
हाथो से विष पिला कर , जाता तू फिर चला,
अवगुण है क्या जो आपने अपना नहीं किया,

लगता नहीं है आप बिन, जग में मेरा जीया।।

दिल चैन जागने में ना, सोने में ना मिले,
प्रतिष्ठा, मान, वैभव से दिल नहीं खिले,
तन-मन तेरे वगैर ये दाग-दार कर लिया,

लगता नहीं है आप बिन, जग में मेरा जीया।।

हमें यूं भटकता छोड़ना, अच्छा नहीं करम,
मर्ज़ी तुम्हारी है मेरे हो सांवरे साजन,
बेबस को आंसुओ का भी अधिकार ना दिया,

लगता नहीं है आप बिन, जग में मेरा जीया।।

Rajsthani Bhajan- Nani Bai ka mayro - aaja aaja re sawariya lyrics

Nani Bai ka mayro - aaja aaja re sawariya lyrics

Jai Shri Krishna,

Nani Bai was daughter of Narsi bhakt. Narsi bhakt ji were devotee of Lord Krishna(thakur ji).
Narsi Bhakt ji were not economically strong and used to be engaged in devotion of Thakur ji.

‘Mayro’, or the independent word ‘mayra’ represents a Rajasthani (related to the Indian State of Rajasthan) tradition, when a boy/girl is married, a set of gifts (anything like clothes/ornaments/ etc., according to their economic capability) from his/her mother’s house are sent for each member of the other family (in which he/she got married)

Nani bai ro mayro (“The mayra of Nani bai”) is a story in Rajasthan where this girl named Nani bai is married, but her family cannot afford the mayra at all, and she has to face big taunts due to that. But she was a great devotee of Lord Krishna, and thus kept on praying to him to resolve her problems. The story says listening to her devotion and honest prayers, Lord Krishna himself comes to earth in a disguised (human) form, and helps her fulfill her wish so that her marital home gets a big mayra :).

Aaja aaja re sawariya lyrics-

Its a very beautiful bhajan.

This bhajan is in Rajsthani language, I have tried to write it down with the help of someone else.

Please point if any mistake is there.

आजा आजा रे साँवरिया ,
चीर लंघजा रे साँवरिया ,
भरजा मायरो, हो भरजा मायरो ।

बिन मायड़ी डाबड़ी रे, ना माँ जायो बीर,
मयड़े री बेला माने , कौन उड़ावे चीर,
धीर बांधाजा रे साँवरिया, हिवडे लगाजा रे साँवरिया,
भरजा मायरो, हो भरजा मायरो।।

सास, ननद , देवर ना रानो मैना देवे साथ,
बाबुल थारो लियाए मायरो , भरसे इब की भात,
बात निभाजा रे साँवरिया, लाज बचाजा रे साँवरिया,
भरजा मायरो, हो भरजा मायरो।।

नरसी जी री लाड़ली रे,  आंसू ना ढलकावे,
हिवड़ो उमड़े आवे मायरो, धीरज छूटो जावे,
आवे याद मायड़ साँवरिया , बिलख यु जावड साँवरिया,
भरजा मायरो, हो भरजा मायरो।।

बाबुल मारो ढोलों- ढालो, गिरधर रा गुण गावे,
नगरी रा सब लोग मसखरा, मारी हंसी उड़ावे,
भावे ना माने साँवरिया , ताई कवा ताने साँवरिया ,
भरजा मायरो, हो भरजा मायरो।।

Meera bai bhajan and Introduction

Meera Bai small introduction

Meera was a princess of a small kingdom in Rajasthan. From childhood she was devoted to Krishna. She was married queen into the royal house of Chittor. Though the family deity was goddess Durga, she continued to worship and sing of Krishna. Her songs of devotion to Krishna became popular and she came to be called a saint. She declared that she was married to Krishna. When her husband the king died, she refused to be 'sati' or the wife that climbs the funeral pyre with the dead husband. Many were the tribulations she was subjected to. She braved them all. The end came as she wished, while she was singing of Krishna.

As I say, she was subjected to many tribulations(suffering) by her in-laws,
Here is one bhajan based on that:

In this bhajan, Rana is referred to her brother in law, Vikramaditya, new ruler of Chittor after her husband's death. He tried to kill Meera in many ways, but everytime Krishna saved her.

सारी सारी रात मीरा, हरि गुण गाये रे,
हरि गुन गाये मीरा, मस्त हो जाए रे।

(Saari saari raat Meera, hari gun gaaye re,
Hari gun gaaye Meera, Mast ho jaaye re)

(Every night Meera chants Hari Naam,
She was overjoyed in this)

राणा ने भेज्या ज़हर प्याला, मीरा ने समझया अमृत प्याला,
आप भी पीवे मीरा, हरि को पिलावे रे,
हरि गुन गाये मीरा, मस्त हो जाए रे।

(Raana sent poison to her Prasadam, Meera thought its nector
It actually turned into Nector,
She started to drink it herself , and also gave it to Krishna)

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

(Rana put a snake in a flower basket and told her that it was a gift from him to her Lord Krishna, but when she opened it she found  an image of Krishna,
She started to dance with Krishna)

राणा ने भेज्या भोज बना के, मीरा ने समझया भोग लगा दे,
आप भी खावे मीरा, हरि को खिलावे रे,
हरि गुन गाये मीरा, मस्त हो जाए रे।

Bhajan - Kishori mohe sohni den sikhavo

Kishori mohe sohni dev sikhaavo - Radhe Krishna bhajan

This bhajan I like a lot.
This bhajan is sung by Shri RaviNandan Shastri ji.
This bhajan is written by Gopal Baba in sewa kunj.
Gopal Baba used to use Sohni Seva(like cleaning etc.).
One day, Pujari of Seva Kunj said few harsh words to Gopal baba about how he can't even do cleaning properly.
Then Gopal Baba wrote this bhajan requesting Radha rani about teaching him Sohni Seva.


किशोरी मोहे सोहनी देन सिखावो
हे, मंद मुस्काये लाड़ली, नव नव कृपा कोर बरसाओ ।
(Kishori, Please teach me sohni sewa,
Do not say any harsh words to me, just smile and shower your mercy on me)

किशोरी मोहे सोहनी देन सिखावो
महारानी मोहे सोहनी देन सिखावो ।

कोटि किरण छिड़कत अंगन में,
बेगि कृपा करी धावो
लाडो जू, बेगि कृपा करी धावो ।
(Lakhs of rays of your mercy shower on me,
Start to give your blessings to me)

तब बोलो हंस-हंस के श्यामा,
मंद स्वरन बतलावो,
(Please smile, and tell me gently, do not use harsh words)

ऐसी सेवा करो री बांवरी,
(और फिर भी ना सींखु)
तो गाल पे मीठी सी चपत धरो ।

(These lines says about ourselves,
We are saying to ourselves - O Crazy, start to work in service of others,
O Radhe, if we fail to do so,
Give a sweet slap on our face, so that we can correct ourselves)

हे राधे करुणामयी, सुललिते, हे कृष्ण चिंतामणि ।
हे श्री रास रासेश्वरी, सुविमल, वृन्दावनाधीश्वरी ।।

(O Radhe compassionate, elegant, Krishna's Jewel,
O Goddess of Raas, ingenious, Goddess of Vrindavan)

कांते कान्तिप्रदायिनी, मधुमयी, मोदप्रदे, माधवी ।
(Radiant, Sweet, ever young, O Radhe)

राधे सदा मुझ पर रहमत की नज़र रखना,
राधे सदा मुझ पर रहमत की नज़र रखना।
(Radhe sada mujh par rahmat ki nazar rakhna)
(Radhe always keep an eye of mercy on me)

मैं दास तुम्हारा हूँ, इतनी तो खबर रखना ।
(main daas tumhara hu, itni to khabar rakhna)
( I am your servent, Please keep this in mind)

नज़र रखना, नज़र रखना,
मुझ पर रखना, मुझ पर रखना ।

वहाँ दुनिया तरस रही है,
यहाँ रहमत बरस रही है,
आज देख के हम भक्तो को,
ओ मेरी राधे हर्ष रही है,
ओ मेरी श्यामा हर्ष रही है।
(Wahan duniya tarah rahi hai,
yahan rahmat baras rahi hai)

राधे सदा मुझ पर रहमत की नज़र रखना ।

यहाँ कोई नहीं अपना,
इक तेरा सहारा है,
मैंने देख लिया सबको, अब तुमको पुकारा है,
कहीं डूब ना जाऊ मैं,
मेरा हाथ पकड़ रखना ।

राधे सदा मुझ पर रहमत की नज़र रखना ।

हम डूबने वालो को,
काफी ये सहारा है,
साहिल पे तुम आ जाना,
तो हर मौज किनारा है ।

राधे सदा मुझ पर रहमत की नज़र रखना ।


नज़रो में रहूँ तेरी,
बस अर्ज़ यही मेरी,
स्वीकार करो अर्ज़ी , अब हो ना कहीं देरी,
अब दर पे तुम्हारे ही मुझको जीना- मरना ।

राधे सदा मुझ पर रहमत की नज़र रखना ।

Beautiful Holi Bhajan

Holi Bhajan

This is a very beautiful Holi bhajan.

Holi color has so different meaning in context of our thakur ji(Shri Krishna).

Dark colors means colors of this sense of belonging of this world.

In this bhajan, it is requested to God that give your own color to us, we don't want red, yellow etc.

When we listen to bhajans like "aaj brij se holi re rasiya", when we talk of color, we are actually talking of color of love towards Shri Krishna.

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 ।

(Laal nahin odu, main to peeli nahin odu,

apne hi rang mein rang de sawariyaa)

बिना रंगाये मैं तो घर नहीं जाउंगी,

बीत जाए चाहे सारी उमरिया ।

(Bina rangaaye main to ghar nahi jaungi,

beet jaaye chahe saari umariyaa)

जग भोगो के दाग ये गहरे,

इनको छुड़ा के अपने प्यार में रंग दे सावरियां ।

(jag bhogo ke daag ye gehre,

inko chuda ke apne pyaar mein rang de)

Why me???

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:

"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

 To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 50,000,000 children start playing tennis, 5,000,000 learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals,



When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?".

And today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?"



  Srila Prabhupada instructs :



The kala (time) offers the conditioned souls both happiness and miseries. It is all predestined by eternal time. As we have miseries uncalled-for, so we may have happiness also without being asked, for they are all predestined by kala. No one is therefore either an enemy or friend of the Lord. Everyone is suffering and enjoying the result of his own destiny.

In this material world we have to, we are forced to accept happiness or distress according to destiny. You cannot deny, that "I'll not take this distressed condition of life. I'll simply take the happiness portion.?That you cannot do.

It is no use saying that we do not know why and for what we are suffering. We may forget the misdeed for which we may suffer at this present moment, but we must remember that Paramatma is our constant companion, and therefore He knows everything, past, present
and future. And because the Paramatma feature of Lord Krishna destines all actions and reactions, He is the supreme controller also. Without His sanction not a blade of grass can move. The living beings are given as much freedom as they deserve, and misuse of that
freedom is the cause of suffering.


Although the Lord does not favor or abuse anyone, we still observe happiness and suffering in this world. The Gita (13.22) states, karanam guna-sango `sya : We desire to associate with various qualities of material nature, and thus we must accept the consequences. The Lord provides the field of material nature, in which we exercise our free will. Foolish nondevotees not only attempt to cheat the Lord by trying to exploit His nature, but when they suffer the reaction they blame God for their own misdeeds. This is the shameless position of those who are envious of God.

How to Love Krishna

John, a woodcutter, worked for a company for five years but never got a raise. The company hired Bill and within a year he got a raise. Then John resented Bill's getting a raise after only a year and went to his boss to talk about it.

The boss said, "You are still cutting the same number of trees you were cutting five years ago. We are a result-oriented company and would be happy to give you a raise if your productivity goes up."

John went back, started hitting harder and putting in longer hours but he still wasn't able to cut more trees. He went back to his boss and told him his dilemma. The boss told John to go talk to Bill. "Maybe there is something Bill knows that you and I don't."

John asked Bill how he managed to cut more trees.

Bill answered, "After every tree I cut, I take a break for two minutes and sharpen my axe. When was the last time you sharpened your axe?"

In our day to day life, we can immensely improve our efficiency and effectiveness by regularly sharpening four dimensions of our personality ?
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Of the four dimensions ?spiritual dimension is prime and foremost.

Why?

Spiritual dimension gives us overall perspective in life and helps us lead principle centered life. It naturally and holistically promotes overall wellness.

In the present age the recommended process for sharpening the spiritual dimension is chanting the Holy Names of Lord, especially the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.


Srila Prabhupada instructs:



"We can remember Krishna in every moment. We can remember Krishna while taking a glass of water because the taste of water is Krishna. We can remember Krishna as soon as we see the sunlight in the morning, because the sunlight is a reflection of Krishna's Bodily Effulgence. Similarly, as soon as we see moonlight in the evening we remember Krishna because moonlight is also reflection of sunlight. Similarly, when we hear any sound we can remember Krishna because sound is Krishna, and the most perfect sound, transcendental, is Hare Krishna, which we have to chant 24 hours. So there is no scope of forgetting Krishna at any moment of our life provided we practice in that way. "

Why do vaishnavas have so many problems in their spiritual life?

Why do vaishnavas have so many problems in their spiritual life?

Whenever i encounter some difficulty in this world, I recall these lines in my mind.

"The tests are there so Krishna can see whether his devotee have unconditional love and devotion to Him, even when there are problems.

Even though a devotee is put into a circumstance that should make his love diminish, his love increases more and more.
Bad health, financial problems, family members dying, accidents, criticism, etc. could result in a devotee blaming Krishna.

Instead the love of an advanced devotee increases. It is this unconditional love and devotion that purchases Krishna. He becomes obliged to such a devotee and places Himself under the control of that devotee"

Krishna bhajan - Mohan bolo kab aaoge

Mohan Bolo kab aaoge - Krishna Bhajan

Preetam bolo kab aaoge,
Kab bina bol is daasi ko hari charnan so liptaoge..

This bhajan i listened recently, what a beautiful bhajan this is.
Lyrics are so beautiful and deep.
You, too, enjoy this awesome bhajan.

The essence of this bhajan is that we are just waiting for you to come, the love of this world is not real.
Only you, Krishna, is real, everything else is delusion.

मोहन बोलो कब आओगे,
प्रीतम बोलो कब आओगे,
कब बिना बोल इस दासी को हरि चरनन सो लिपटाओगे..

Mohan(Krishna) when will you come,
My Lover, when will you come,
When will you embrace me in your feet

1. ये प्यार भरा दिल रोता है,
ठुकराते लम्बे साँसों से,
अंसुअन के माल पिरोता है,

अंधियारी सूनी कुंजो में,
रातों भरी बाटें जोता है,

हँसते, इठलाते , प्यार भरे ,
मोहन बोलो कब आओगे ।

(This heart filled with love cries for you,
With this breath, it weaves garland of tears,

In dark, isolated Kunj,
all night, i wait for you to come)



तुम्हे बुलाता क्यूँ हो प्यारे ,
why i call you Shyam,
This is the reason why..

2.  ये प्यार जगत का झूठा है,
मुझे मान था अपने भाग्य पर,
पर वो भी जैसे फूटा है ।

ओ बिगड़ी बनाने वाले श्याम,
क्या तू भी मुझसे रूठा है,
सब दूर करो झंझट बोलो,
प्रीतम बोलो कब आओगे ।

(The love of this world is false,
I had lot of self conceit on my fate,
But it seems now, my fate is also worth nothing.

O Shyam, are you also sulked with me)


These lines are for Meera ji,

3. जोगन आँचल फैला निकली,
जग जाल के बंधन तोड़ दिए,
कुल तान की आन मिटा निकली,

सारे श्रृंगार बिखेर दिए,
एक भगवा वेश बना निकली,
मैं तेरी हूँ, ये गा ले भुजा उठा निकली,

अब बैठ गयी पथ में थक कर,
प्रीतम बोलो कब आओगे ।
