Narada Muni Bajay Vina
by
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura
_________________________
(1)
narada muni, bajay vina
'radhika-ramana'-name
nama amani, udita haya,
bhakata-gita-same
"When the great soul Narada Muni plays his vina, the holy name, 'Radhika-raman', descends and immediately appears amidst the kirtan of the Lord’s devotees."
(2)
amiya-dhara, barise ghana,
sravana-yugale giya
bhakata jana, saghane nace,
bhoriya apana hiya
"Like a monsoon cloud, the holy name showers nectar in their ears. All the devotees, due to great ecstasy, repeatedly dance to their hearts content."
(3)
madhuri-pura, asava pasi',
mataya jagata-jane
keho va kande, keho va nace,
keho mate mane mane
"All the people of the universe become maddened upon entering this intoxicating shower of nectar. Some people cry, some dance and others become fully intoxicated within their minds."
(4)
panca-vadana, narade dhori',
premera saghana rol
kamalasana, naciya bole,
'bolo bolo hari bolo'
"Lord Siva, embracing Narada Muni, repeatedly makes loud screams of ecstatic joy, and Lord Brahma, dancing very ecstatically, says, 'All of you kindly chant, Haribol! Haribol!'”
(5)
sahasranana, parama-sukhe,
'hari hari' boli' gaya
nama-prabhave, matilo visva,
nama-rasa sabe paya
"In great happiness the thousand-faced Ananta Sesa chants 'Hari! Hari!' By the influence of the transcendental vibration of the holy name, the whole universe becomes ecstatically maddened and everyone tastes the mellows of the holy name."
(6)
sri-krsna-nama, rasane sphuri',
pura'lo amar asa
sri-rupa-pade, yacaye iha,
bhakativinoda-dasa
"Thakura Bhaktivinoda, the humble servant of the Lord, says, 'The holy name of Krishna has fulfilled all my desires by vibrating on everyone’s tongue.' Bhaktivinoda therefore prays at the feet of Sri Rupa Goswami that the chanting of harinama may continue like this always."
