Kanha ke geet Bhajan

I have been away for a really long while and no, simply no, reasons can justify my separation( atleast neglectfulness)of dearest Krishna. I have finally composed a bhajan with very incomplex lyrics which jump straight into getting the literal point across.One or two lines are stolen from somewhere (what could I do; it fit so impeccably in the tune!?!). This bhajan however, is not too fancy as is conventional with my other ones because this time around, I was trying to sing to Krishna exactly what my mind and heart spoke, and it spoke this," Everything about Kanha is sweet, because He, himself is so sweet!"

Here it goes . . .

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kanha ke geet madhuram hai
Kanha svayam madhuram hai,
Nainon mein raho mere sada
Mann be baso, Oh sanwara!
Kanha ke geet . . .

Kya jaanu kabse juda janmo ka yeh bandhan,
Prem se joda hai tujhse preet ka daman.
Hai nahi jeevan mein tere bin koi umang,
Hoth kehna paaye par, kehe raha hai mann
Kanha Kanha...Mere Kanha!!
Kanha ka prem madhuram hai
Kanha svayam madhuram hai

Main teri sar-ankhon par sada rahi, Giridhar
Kya karu bayyaan teri daya ka sagar?
Chhod kar jawoo tujhe toh kaha rahungi?
Kanha ke sharan bin marjawungi.
Kanha Kanha...Mere Kanha!!
Kanha ka sang madhuram hai
Kanha svayam madhuram hai

How will I be able to capture their eternal love story on a piece of paper?
Nevertheless, here is my small, innocent trial :)

Today, i have chosen one that was right in front of me when i was reading my mails.

hope u all liked it! :)

Shri Krishna Sharanam Mamah!

Shyaam piya yeh kaisi pareeksha? bhajan

This bhajan is very close to my heart as I had written it during a very critical time in my life asking Him why things had to be the way they were. When i was singing it to him it might have been very discordant bcoz of crysinging! But i think he still loves it! (i always see a smile coming onto his face when I sing and ask him, "why this pareeksha?")

PS: sorry for neglecting the blog for a while. I was entangled in my own things :(

Jiya roye, mann khabraaye
O! My heart cries in despair,
My mind is scared! 

Yahi sonche, tose poonche
All i can think of, what i do ask you:

Uljane kyu aaye meri ore?
Why do you thus leave me in despair?

Teri leela hai yah bhagya ka jhol?
Is this some game of yours?
Or is this the swing of fate?? 

More kanha kehde mohe kya hai bhagya ki rekha
O My Kanha! Tell me what my lines of fate are

Shyaam piya yeh kaisi pareeksha?
O Shyam...my Love! Tell me: what kind of a test this?

Nisdin palchhin poonche tose mori bheegi ankhiyaan
Everyday, my wet eyes ask you the same question:

Shyaam piya yeh kaisi pareeksha?
 O Shyam...my Love! Tell me: what kind of a test this?

Oh piya . . . 
O My Love!

Dukh mitjaayenge, sukh ki yeh pagal barsaat hongi
My sorrows will disappear, and will shower on me torrents of happiness

Yeh vishwaas hai ke tose jo har baat ki woh sach hongi
As i believe that what You have promised, WILL come true!

more kanha batade mohe kya hai bithar manvaa
My Kanha! Tell me: what are your thoughts?

Shyaam piya yeh kaisi pareeksha?
 O Shyam...my Love! Tell me: what kind of a test this?

Saanchi tose preet par ghereh jag ki maya

Shyaam piya yeh kaisi pareeksha?
 O Shyam...my Love! Tell me: what kind of a test this?

Oh Piya . . .
O My Love! 

Bawri hoon meh nadan hoon par teri hi bhakt rahungi
Maybe i am reckless, maybe i am mad: Yet, i will remain your devotee!

Na todungi tohri preet, meera kehti thi mein bhi kahungi
Even as Meera declared, i will not give up Your love!

More kanha tose mann ne bhandhan kaisa bandha?
My Kanha! How did this mind get bound to You?

Shyaam piya yeh kaisi pareeksha?
 O Shyam...my Love! Tell me: what kind of a test this?

Tose hi roothu tohri hi sharan dodhu pagli saiyaan

i root for You,

This mad slave is surrendered unto Your Feet! 

Shyaam piya yeh kaisi pareeksha?
 O Shyam...my Love! Tell me: what kind of a test this?

Oh piya . . .
O My Love!  

More mann ke jharokhe me dekhu chhabi sundar shyaam tihari
Within the inner chambers of my heart, i see only Dear Shyaam's sweet, handsome form!

Yuhi rehna sada jeevan me, yahi vinati hai hamari.

Forever stay like this in my heart,

That alone i ask of You! 

More kanha saath tum jo peelu vish ka pyaala
My Kanha! To remain with You, i shall even drink poison!

Shyaam piya yeh kaisi pareeksha?
Then,   O Shyam...my Love! Tell me: what kind of a test this?

Haaru kaise tohra sang paake oh Sawariya?!
How can i lose after i have Your association i have gained, O Beloved!

Shyaam piya yeh kaisi pareeksha?
 Then,   O Shyam...my Love! Tell me: what kind of a test this?

Oh piya . . .
O My Love!

Thought :I cannot see anything beyond you Dearest Krishna.

Edit

Thought :I cannot see anything beyond you Dearest Krishna.

Mortal material bodies are usually only a plaything for our eternal soul but if it is directed in serving the Handsome man then even this gross body can become heavenly;however, most of us refuse do to do so. C'mon guys...let's think...Krishna ke bin jiya to kya jiya??
That is why i have inked my thought about how useless the body is if it is not used to serve the charming servitor . . .

What is the purpose of the eyes if they cannot envision the greatness of the Supreme Personality of Godhead?
What is the benefit of the ears if they do not willingly offer to listen to the transcendental pastimes of the Dark one?
What need is there of hands that do not clap at the mellifluous music of the flute-player?
What is the intention of having a nectarine voice if it does not sing praises of the peacock-crowned man?
What is the requisition of having fingers if they do not write infinitely about the peerless, magnanimous Omnipotent?
What is the motive of having a brain if it has no time to think upon the charming dancer always?
What is the effectiveness of a stomach if it cannot digest the capsule of the Bhagavata Geeta?
What is the validity of having legs if they cannot walk a journey to the sanctified land of Vrindavan?
What is the requirement of beauty if it is not directed towards pleasing the supreme admirable Lord?
What is the significance of every breath if it cannot chant the vibrations of Krishna's name?
What is the relevance of a heart that does not house the Handsome King of Dwarika?
What is the meaning of life if it has to be devoid of the discus bearer's love?
What is the existence of such a soul that does not yearn to unite with the ever-blissful Super-soul?
What is the essence in dreaming if imaginations cannot precept to the spiritual realm of Vaikunth?
WHAT is Me or YOU without KRISHNA??.........NOTHING..........




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If life would have to continue by forgetting and avoiding you...i would rather forget and avoid myself for that matter....You are every ray of hope for me

What is raas leela?

One might be tempted to think that raas is just the general dancing of krishna with gopis in a circle...But...How true an assumption is that?
Basically, what majority of us know about raas leela is just the tip of the iceberg! There is a very intimate and profound meaning to this divine engagement of the senses with the Supreme.
