bhajan- sakhi ri baanke bihari se humari lad gayi ankhiyaan- nikunj kamra

Radhe radhe ,

i want to share one bhajan with you all, i heard it on video sharing site sung by nikunj kamra.
i like this bhajan a lot.
Sakhi ri baanke bihari se humari lad gayi ankhiyaan...

सखी री बांके बिहारी से हमारी लड़ गयी अँखियाँ,
बचायी थी बहुत लेकिन, निगोड़ी लड़ गयी अँखियाँ ।

१. ना जाने क्या किया जादू, ये तकती रह गयी अँखियाँ,
चमकती हाए बरछी सी, कलेजे गड गयी अँखियाँ ।

२. चहुँ दिस रस भरी चितवन, मेरी आँखों में लाते हो,
कहो कैसे कहाँ जाऊं, ये पीछे पड़ गयी अँखियाँ ।

३. भले ये तन से निकले प्राण, मगर ये छवि ना निकलेगी,
अँधेरे मन के मंदिर में, मणि सी गड गयी अँखियाँ ।

English:
My Sakhi, my eyes are longing for baanke bihari,
i tried to save them a lot, but they still want to see baanke bihari.

1. i don't know what magic was done on me, these eyes kept staring,
Like a flashing spear, these eyes stuck into my heart.

2. This beautiful image, you bring before my eyes,
tell, how, where to go, these eyes are chasing me.

3. Even if this life goes out of my body, but this image will not leave me,
in this lost heart like temple, these eyes are stuck like ruby.

shri krishna maha raas leela - part 3

Radhe radhe ,

As we read in last part, Gopis have reached to Shri Krishna for Maha Raas Leela.
But Shri Krishna tested them by saying, you should go back to your family, as it is your duty.
Gopis passed in their test, as they said-
we know our duty, now we can't go back to our family.
We would have only gone back, if we had some kind of Dosha(Vikaar or flaw) left in us.
In our previous incarnation, we were sages and walked the path of knowledge, duty etc.
In this incarnation, we have taken the form of Gopis, now we only need Love from you.

Gopis were not ordinary devotees. They were doing this preaching, gaining knowledge for number of years in their previous incarnation.
But now they understood that they can only get Krishna with love.

Gopis also said -  our heart is in your possession, give back our heart, we will go back to our family.
Shri Krishna got overwhelmed and convinced.

He replied - I can not give back your heart. The person whose heart gets attached with me, can not return to the world.

Our heart is Suksham Tatva(सूक्ष्म तत्त्व), it can only get attached to one place, either Krishna or world.
This is why one of the name of Krishna is also "MANMOHAN".

(जिन्हा ने मिलाइयां ने कृष्ण नाल अँखियाँ,
वो नहीं मेलदे, संसार नाल अँखियाँ )

Krishna got conviced that Gopis have come with pure feelings.
(For Raas leela to happen with us, we need to have pure feelings, with any Dosha left is us, we can never enter raas leela.)


Krishna came in middle of Gopis and said, i was joking with all of you.
All the gopis felt very happy and everywhere there was delight.

Shri Krishna took many forms (for each Gopi) and Maha Raas Leela happened.
It is not feasible to describe this Leela in words.
This is something which can be felt only.
I hope Krishna give us this devotion to feel it... :'(

shri krishna maha raas leela - part 2

Radhe radhe sabko,

ab tak ki leela mein gopiyan shri krishna ke paas pahunch gayi hai raas leela ke liya, jaisa ki raas leela part 1 mein bataya gaya.

shri krishna ne gopiyon ki raas se pehle parikshaa leni chahi, aur wo bole:

shri krishna gopiyon se kahne lage -
aapka swagat hai, kaho braj mein sab kushal to hai!!!
aap sab is samay kaise daudi aayi..
aap sab ka is samay ratri mein aana theek nahin hai.
aap sab ke pita, pati, ghar waale aap sab ko ghar mein naa pakar vyakul ho rahe honge.
yah kaarya dharam vipreet hai.
agar tumhara prem shudh hoga, to tum sab ghar baithe hi mujhe prapt kar logi.

shyaam sunder ki aisi kathor baatein sunkar sabhi gopiyaan shoka kul ho uthi.
aankho se dukh ke aansu jhar-jhar bahane lage.

Gopiyan shri krishna se kahne lagi- 
aaj aap itne kathor kyun ho rahe hain.
pehle to aapne apni baansuri se humara naam lekar humein yahan bulaya.
ab humein waapis kyun lauta rahe hain.

shri krishna ne kaha-
deh ka swami pati hota hai, is sharir ka koi pati/pita/bhai hoga.
kintu aatma ka koi pati/pita nahi hota.
aatma ka dharam se paramatma se milna.
tum ghar mein rahti hui, apna deh dharam nibhati hui, apni aatma ko mujh mein lagaye rakho.
tumhari yahi dharam maryada hai.

Gopiyan kahne lagi-
hum to aapki prem bhakta hai.
hum apni sab aakansha, vaasna ko chhod kar aapke paas aayi hai.
humein apne paas hi rakh lijiye.
aapki vanshi se humara sansaar ujaad diya hai.

Gopiyon ke yahi bhaav bhajan ke roop mein is prakaar hain:

ऐ श्याम तेरी वंशी की कसम, तेरी वंशी ने उजाड़ दिया,
कह-कह के बंधन का खूंटा, तेरी वंशी ने उखाड़ दिया ।
(यहाँ उजाड़ने से अभिप्राय यह है कि अब हम संसार के काबिल नहीं रही है, जब से आपकी शरण में आयी है, यह संसार अब हमारे किसी काम का नहीं है)

हम रही ना जग की अब काबिल, तेरी चाहत की है हम तालिब,
कल ना पडत दिन रैन हमें, तेरी चाहत ने हमें मार दिया ।

नहीं लौट के हमने जाना है, तेरे अधरामृत को पाना है,
ऐ मधुसुदन कर दो पूरा, जो तुमने है इकरार किया ।

aage ki maha raas leela, is in raas leela part 3.

shri krishna maha raas leela - kaamdev story

Radhe radhe,

jaisa ki meine apni last post  maha raas leela post- part1 mein bataya, jaha shri krishna ne gopiyon ko maha raas ke liye apni bansuri se bulaya tha.

is leela se judi hui ek aur kahani shri mad bhagwat mein aati hai:
ye kahani aati hai kaamdev ki.

kaamdev ke mann mein abhimaan aa gaya ki wo hi is srishti ka sabse bada dev hai.
naarad ji ne kaamdev ka abhimaan choor karne ke liye kaamdev se kaha - srishti ka sabse bada dev banne se pehle vrindavan ke ek gop-kumar se to 2-2 haath kar aao...:)

ab devarshi naarad ki baat kaamdev ko chubh gayi, usmein abhimaan jaag gaya ki ek gop kumar mujhe kya harayega.
kaamdev ne shri krishna ko gokul mein jaakar lalkaar diya aur bole aap sharad purnima ki raatri ko braj ki yuvtiyo(ladkiyon) ke saath vihaar kare, us samay mein aap par apne baan chalaunga.

yadi us samay aap nirvikaar(vikaar rahit) rahenge, tabhi mein aapko ishwar maanunga.
bhagwaan shri krishna ne kaamdev ki ye chunauti sweekar kar li.

kaamdev ki haar to nishchit hi thi.
kyunki bhagwaan mein vikaar nahin aa sakta, kyunki jab sooraj devta ki kiran sab yuvtiyon ko chhuti hai, aur unmein vikaar nahi aata, to bhala shri krishna mein vikaar kaise aa sakta hai.

jab sharad purnima ki raatri aayi, tab shri krishna ne gopiyon ke saath maha raas leela ki.
tab kaamdev ne shri krishna par suman baan chalaya, parantu shri krishna nirvikaar hi rahe.

aage ki leela ka varnan aise hai: raas leela.

shri krishna maha raas leela - part 1

Radhe radhe sabko,

Is post mein maha raas leela ko sunana chahta hu.
maha raas leela ko shri mad bhagwat mein kaafi importance diya gaya hai, kyunki ye koi saadharan leela nahi  thi.
ye aatma aur paramatma ka milan hai.
raas leela mein vaasna ki koi jagah nahin hai, agar kisi ke mann mein thoda sa bhi vikaar/vaasna hai, to raas leela mein pravesh nahi mil sakta.
jaisa ki bhagwaan ne vaada kiya tha gopi cheer haran leela mein, ki wo gopiyon ke saath raas leela karenge.
Gopi cheer haran leela ke baad gopiyon se shareer vaasna rahit ho gaye the.

ab gopiyan har raat ko wait karti thi, ki wo din kab aayega, jab shri krishna apna vaada poora karenge aur gopiyon ke saath raas karenge.
ab wo din aa hi gaya.
sharad poornima ki chandni raat mein shri krishna bansuri baja kar ek-ek gopi ko bula rahe hain.
koi gopi gobar leep rahi thi, koi shringaar kar rahi thi, koi aata goond rahi thi.
jo gopi jis haalat mein thi, usi haal mein shri krishna se milne daud padi.
sab gopi ki haalat ajeeb hi thi.
aankho ka kaajal hontho par laga diya, kisi ke haath aate se sane hue the, kisi ke gobar se sane hue the,
lehnga sir par daal liya.

kahne ka matlab ye hai ki, ki gopiyon ko apni shaaririk dasha maloom hi nahi thi.
bhagwaan shankar ji bhi gopi ka bhesh bana kar raas leela mein aaye.
waise bhi raas leela ka sharir se kucch lena dena bhi nahin tha, ye to aatma ka paramatma se milan tha.
agar shaaririk sundarta ka jara sa bhi ahankaar aa jata, to raas leela ka koi matlab hi nahin rah jata.

kuch log raas leela ko vaasna ki nazar se dekhte hain, aisa kahna bilkul galat hai.
pehli baat to ye, raas leela khule aasmaan ke neeche sharad purnima ki chandani mein hui thi, agar kisi ke mann mein thoda bhi vikaar hota, to ye leela band kamre mein hoti.
doosri baat ye, ye koi aurat-purush ka milan nahin hai, balki ye to maaya ke aavaran se rahit shudh jeev-ishwar ka milan hai.
gopi ka matlab hi shri krishna se prem hai, apni aurat-purush nature ko bhulaa kar.

teesri baat ye, raas leela bhagwat ka phal hai, raas leela ke 5 adhyaay, 5 prano ke prateek hai.
5 praano ka ishwar ke saath raman ka naam hi raas leela hai.

aage bahut hi sunder raas leela aati hai joki is prakaar hai raas leela part 2
maha raas leela se sambandhit ek aur leela shri mad bhagwat mein aati hai - kaamdev leela

beautiful beautiful krishna bhajan - ni mein hath vich leke iktara

ni mein hath vich leke iktara -  krishna bhajan

Radhe radhe sabko,
is post mein, ek bhajan sunana/padwana chahta hu aap sab ko.
ye bhajan thoda punjabi/hindi(self-explanatory) mein hai, so agar koi punjabi word/meaning aapko samajh na aaye, to comment kijiyega, waise meine hindi mein bhi meaning likh diya hai.
bahut sunder bhajan laga ye mujhe, isliye mujhe laga jitne jyada log ise pad/sun sake.
this bhajan is kind of a ulahaana(complaint) for our shri krishna.
bhagwaan ji ko ulhaana diya gaya hai, ki aapne pehle to dilaasa diya tha, aur ab aap mil nahi rahe.
bhaav yahi hai ki, ab hum udaas ho gaye hain aapke bina ,ab humein mil jao.

Bhajan ke bol aise hai:


ni mein hath vich leke iktara, chapa chapa chhan maarya
kithe milya na pritam pyaara, chapa chapa chhan maarya
(meine thakur ji ko har jagah dhundh liya, diye(tara) ki roshni lekar
parantu pritam pyaara kahi nahi mila)
1) deke dilasa naale chal gaya chaal ve, bada hi kathor saiyon nand ju da laal ve,
    saanu(humko) de gaya jhootha hilaara, chapa chapa..
   (wo humein jhootha dilasa dekar chale gaye, aur ab mil nahi rahe, wo bade hi kathor hain)

2) deve na daga ve kithe brij deya vaasiya, tere bina huiya aaj ankhiyan udaasiyan,
    kithe chup gaya ankhiyan daa taara, chapa chapa...

3) shyam, shyam, shyam ,shyam, gaande mere ghoongru, ruthe hue shyam nu manande mere ghoongru,
    tere bina soona lage jag sara, chapa chapa....

krishna bhajan in hindi script:


नी मैं हथ विच लेके इकतारा, चप्पा चप्पा छान मारया
किथे मिलया ना प्रीतम प्यारा, चप्पा चप्पा छान मारया।

१. देके दिलासा नाले चल गया चाल वे,
बड़ा ही कठोर सइयों नन्द जू दा लाल वे,
सानू दे गया झूठा हिलारा । चप्पा चप्पा...

२. देवे ना दगा वे किथे बृज देया वासिया,
तेरे बिना हुइआ आज अँखियाँ उदासियाँ,
किथे छुप गया अँखियाँ दा तारा। चप्पा चप्पा...

३. श्याम- श्याम -श्याम-श्याम, गान्दे मेरे घुँघरू,
रूठे हुए श्याम नू मनांदे मेरे घुँघरू,
तेरे बिना सूना लगे जग सारा । चप्पा चप्पा...


ye video hai bhajan ka, taki aap tune bhi sun sake aur bhajan ka aur anand mil sake:

Meaning of word Satchidananda(सच्चिदानन्द)

Radhe Radhe Sabko,

With this post, i want to explain the meaning of the word Satchitanand or Satchidanand(सच्चिदानन्द).


Meaning:


Satchitanand(Sat+Chit+Anand) swaroop bhagwan ko hum baar baar abhinandan karte hain.
parmatma ke 3 swaroop shastro mein kahe gaye hain:
1. Sat
2. Chit
3. Anand

Meaning of Sat:
Sat ka matlab jo kabhi naash na ho, parmatma avinashi hai.
for example, jaise badal aakash mein bante hain, badal to mit jate hain, par aakash kabhi nhi mit ta.
aise hi ye sansaar bhagwan ne banaya hai, sansaar ka astitva(existence) sirf bhagwaan se hi hai.

Meaning of Chit(gyan):
Chit kahte h chetan ko, 
bhagwan chetan hai aur sansaar jad(जड़) hai.
jaise hamara ye jad sharis aatma se aashrit(dependent) hai, isi tarah se, ye jad sansaar parmatma se aashrit hai.
is sansaar mein jaha kahi bhi chetna dikhai deti h, wo us parmatma ka hi ansh hai.

Meaning of Anand:
is sansaar mein humein jaha kahi se bhi anand mil raha hai, wo us paramatma ke anand sindhu ka ek bindu matra hai.
humara chit to bindu swaroop se bhi khush ho jata hai, to sochiye us sindhu swaroop mein kitna anand hoga.
infact us anand ki to kalpana hi nahi ki ja sakti.
bhagwaan ka doosra naam hi anand hai kyunki Anand is main component of all these 3.


Hamare jeevan mein aawashyakta(want) to hai paramatma ki, but hum kaamna(desire) karte hain sansaar ki.
here is the proof:
har insaan jeena chahta hai, matlab use SAT chahiye
har insaan ko gyan chahiye, matlab use CHIT chahiye
har insaan khush rahna chahta hai, matlab use ANAND chahiye.
is tarah har insaan to chahiye (SAT+CHIT+ANAND) jo ki paratma hai.
ye 3 aawashyakta(want) natural hai, baki sab kaamna(sansaar ki desire) unnatural hai.
is kaamna ke khatam hote hi insaan ka hriday(mann) krishna ke premanand se prakashit ho jayega.

radhe radhe!!!
