THe best historian....Vaishnava historian :)

as i live in a place where devotees are rare to be found
i receive the mercy of the Lord to associate through this medium
and i found the best storyteller in the world
a vaishnava historian to be formal
one prabhu that inspires me
one who gives access to
the holiest of  books
of the Vaishnava Saints
in service of his Guru
Srila Prabhupada
i offer my respects to
prabhu Chaturatma Das
may he get the eternal shelter of the lotus feet
of  Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda

you can see his videos in
where he tells in the form of stories the lives of the great Vaishnava Acharyas such as Narottam Das Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan, etc

The Divine Couple will capture your heart :)

KIRTANIYAH SADA HARI


 Constantly engage in chanting the names of Sri Hari


govinda jaya jaya, gopala jaya jaya
Radha-Ramana hari, govinda jaya jaya

"The process is how to think of Krsna. Man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah. This is meditation. So this... By kirtana it becomes very easy. If you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra twenty-four hours like Haridasa Thakura... That is not possible. So as much as possible... Tirtha-yasasa. Kirtana, this is also kirtana. We are talking about Krsna, reading about Krsna, reading Krsna's instruction in the Bhagavad-gita or reading Krsna's glories in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. They are all kirtana. It is not that simply when we sing with musical instruments, that is kirtana. No. Anything you talk about Krsna, that is kirtan."
~ from Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 3.28.18 on October 27, 1975 in Nairobi

Srila Prabhupada ~ " Simply our prayer should be, My dear Krishna, please remind me to always chant Your Holy Name, please do not put me into forgetfulness. You are sitting within me as Supersoul, so you can put me into forgetfulness or into remembering You. So please do not put me into forgetfulness. Please always remind me to chant, even You send me into the hell, it doesn't matter, just so long as I can always chant Hare Krishna..."

Video: divya1209(youtube)

Woh hai Rangeela

he is colorful

Chail chabeela

Woh hai natkhat
he is naughty

woh jamunatat
he is on the banks of the river jamuna

phere lagaye murli bajaye
goes around, plays the flute

Gopiyon ke sang raas rachaaye
flirting around with the 'gopi'
(gopi=girls looking after the cows)

Murli bajaiyaa raas rachaiyaa
plays the flute n flirts

shyam salona hai
Shyam is dark in color
(shyam=another name of Lord Krishna)


jo hai albela madnainowala
he who is who has sleepy beautiful eyes

jiski deewani brij ki har bala
of whom all the ladies in brij(vrindavana) are crazy

woh kisna hai,woh kisna hai
he is Krishna, he is Krishna

woh kisna hai,woh kisna hai
kisna hai

jo hai albela madnainowala
jiski deewani brij ki har bala
woh kisna hai,woh kisna hai
woh kisna hai,woh kisna hai

pyar mein doobi,pyar mein khoyi
in love she has sunk, lost in love

pyar ki dhun mein jaagi na soyi
in the tunes of love, she doesn't slept nor wakes up

pyar mein doobi,pyar mein khoyi
pyar ki dhun mein jaagi na soyi

duniya se hai woh anjaani
she's unknown with this world

sab kehte hai prem deewani
everyone says she's crazy in love

kisna se milti hai bhool ke har bandhan
she meets kisna forgetting all other relationships

kisna ki hi mala japti hai woh jogan
she keeps meditating kisna's name all the time


Nainon mein sanson mein mann mein kisna
in the eyes, in the breath,n in the mind only kisna

har pal hai jeevan mein jiske kisna
every moment in whose life there is kisna

woh radha hai
that is Radha
(Radha is kisna's lover)

woh radha hai, woh radha hai
Radha hai

Madhur madhur sa roop hai jiska
lovely whose beauty is

shwet shwet rang jiska
fair is the color

sundar tan man sundar chitwan
beautiful body and soul, beautiful actions

sundar hai ang jiska
every part of her is beautiful

pyar hai sgar se bhi gehra
love is deeper than even the ocean

kisna ke sang jiska
who is always linked with kisna


woh radha hai
woh radha hai, woh radha hai
Radha hai

jo hai albela madnainowala
jiski deewani brij ki har bala
woh kisna hai,woh kisna hai
woh kisna hai,woh kisna ha


Nainon mein sanson mein mann mein kisna
har pal hai jeevan mein jiske kisna
woh radha hai
woh radha hai, woh radha hai
Radha hai

woh kisna hai

jaya radha-madhava kunja-bihari
gopi-jana-vallabha giri-vara-dhari
yashoda-nandana braja-jana-ranjana 
jamuna-tira-vana-chari

translation:

Krishna is the lover of Radha
He displays many amorous pastimes
 in the groves of Vrindavana
He is the lover of the cowherd maidens of Vraja
the holder of the great hill named Govardhana
the beloved son of Mother Yashoda
the delighter of the inhabitants of Vraja
and He wanders in the forests
 along the banks of the River Yamuna 


       Srila Prabhupada said that this song is "a picture of Vrindavana. Everything is there--Shrimati Radharani, Vrindavana, Govardhana, Yashoda, and all the cowherd boys."

Srila Prabhupada was very fond of this song and sang it just before his lectures. In Allahabad and Gorakhpur, Srila Prabhupada fell into a trance after singing the first two lines, and after some time he came back into external consciousness and said: "Now just chant Hare Krishna."
