Wanted to wish all the vedantins a very wonderful krishna janmashtami

day and share this wonderful song on the Divine Gopala of Brindavan.

 

Would love to hear more kirtans/stutis on Bhagwaan Krishna esp in

different languages from all our esteemed members.

 

May Kesava bless us all with the right knowledge.

 

Shri Gurubhyoh Namah

Worship Govinda who is supreme bliss, real, knowledge, infinite, and

eternal, who is free from Ákáùa (and other upádhis), who is the

highest light, who was eager as a child to crawl in the cow-pen, who

is really free from difficulties, but who appears to be in

difficulties (or who is the abode of máyá, cause of all), who appears

manifold due to máyá, who appears as the world, who is the Lord of

the

earth and Ùri, and who has no Lord to control him. (1)

 

Worship Govinda who is supreme bliss, who showed the fear of a child

when beaten by Yaùodá saying, ``You are eating earth''. and in whose

opened mouth was seen the row of fourteen worlds, visible and

invisible, who is the support of the three worlds (vis., Svarga,

pøthvè, pátála), who is in the form of the worlds, visible and

invisible, who cannot be seen, who is the controller of the universe

and who is the supreme Lord. (2)

 

 

Worship Govinda who is supreme bliss, who killed the mighty enemies

of

the Devas and reduced the weight of the world, who removes the

disease

of birth (from his devotees), who is one, who had butter for his

food,

though not requiring food at all, who swallowed the world (during

pralaya), who shines brilliantly in the pure and clear mental mode,

who cannot be revealed by anything else, who adores Ùiva, and who is

wholly auspicious. (3)

 

Worship Govinda who is supreme bliss, who is the protector of the

world, who made his advent in the world as Gopála through his lilá,

who is the protector of the race (of Yádavas) and of cows, who made

the cowherds happy by lifting up through his lilá the Govardhana

mountain were the gopès used to play, whose name ``Govinda'' is

uttered clearly by the cows (or scriptures), who has may names, and

who is beyond the reach of the ignorant. (4)

 

Worship Govinda who is supreme bliss, who was present in each of the

different groups of gopis, who appears in different forms, who is one

and nondual, whose beautiful form was covered by the dust raised

always by the hooves of the cows, whose blissful nature is realized

by

sraddhá and bhakti, who is unimaginable, whose existence is known to

the wise, and whose greatness is like that of the gem cintámaïi. (5)

 

Worship Govinda who is supreme bliss, who climbed up the tree

carrying

the clothes of women busily engaged in their bath and who made them

come close to him for the purpose of giving the clothes to them who

were naked and who desired to get back their clothes, who is free

from

duality, grief and delusion, who is wise, who dwells in the

intellect,

and who is pure-existence. (6)

 

Worship Govinda who is supreme bliss, who is beautiful, who is the

ultimate cause, who is the source of everything, who is without

beginning whose colour is like that of the dark cloud, which often

danced excessively on the hood of the serpent Kálindè inhabiting the

river Kálindè (Yamuna), who manifests as time, who transcends the

measures of time, who knows everything, who is te destroyer of the

evil of kali, and who is the controller of the motion of the three

dimensions of time. (7)

 

Worship Govinda who is supreme bliss who is in the land of Bøandávan

which is worshipped and saluted by many groups of Gods, whose

nectar-bliss of spotless smile resembles kunda flower, who is

infinite

bliss, whose feet are praised and worshipped by the minds of all

great

sages adored by all, and who is the ocean of praiseworthy qualities.
