a bhajan of Brindavan Dhaam

[bhakti_lata]

Here is another favorite bhajan of mine which is said to be quite popular in Brindavan dhaam. I have only heard it from my Guru Maharaj. And i love it.

 

Now, the original bhajan has only two stanzas and i always felt it is too short for such a sweet sounding bhajan ..so on the day of janmaashTamii i composed two more stanzas in the bhajan so that i can sing it for longer /images/graemlins/smile.gif !

 

So, the first two stanzas are the original and the last two are my creation...which i most humbly dedicate to the Lord and Brindavan Dhaam.

1.

brindaavan so van nahiiN, nand graam so graam

vanshii vaT so vaT nahiiN, Krishna naam so naam

(There is no van (forest) like brindavan, no village like the village of Nanda.

There is no tree as the banyan tree under which Krishna played His flute, no name like the name of Krishna).

 

2.

brindaavan ke vriksh ko, marm na jaane koye

Daal Daal aur paat paat pe, raadhe raadhe hoye

(the trees of brindavan, nobody understands their significance and essence

every branch and every leaf (there) calls out Radhe Radhe)

 

3.

brindaavan meiN aaj hai, khaas aik tyauhaar

krishna naam kee, sab taraf chhaayii hai bahaar

(in brindavan today, there is a special festival

the name of Krishna can be heard wherever u go)

 

4.

brindaavan kii gopiyaaN, dekh ke Sundar Shyaam

paNkh diloN ke khol kar, naacheN mor samaan

(the gopis of brindavan, upon seeing the Handsome Blueboy

have spread out the wings out their heart and (in joy) are dancing like peacocks)

 

bhakti`lata
