Ab Prabhu kṛipā karahu yehi bhāṁtī, sab taji bhajan karauṁ din rātī.
Lord, bestow grace on me that I may glorify You day and night.
Sādhak siddh vimukt udāsī, kavi kovid kṛitagya sanyāsī.
Whether an aspiring devotee or a realized one; a liberated soul or a detached one; a poet, a scholar, one who knows the secrets of karm or a renunciate,
Jogī sūr sutāpas gyānī, dharm nirat paṇḍit vigyānī.
a yogi, a man of valor, an ascetic, a pundit or a man of knowledge,
Tarahi na binu sevaeṁ mam Swāmī, Rām namāmi namāmi namāmi.
no one can attain liberation without worshipping Ram. I bow to Ram again and again!
Kahauṁ kahāṁ lagi nām baṛāī, Rām na sakahiṁ nām gun gāī.
The glory of Ram’s name is unfathomable. Truth be told, even Ram does not know in full the glory of His name.
Rām bhālu kapi kaṭak baṭorā, setu hetu shram kīnha na thorā.
Ram gathered an army of bears and monkeys, sparing no effort in building the bridge to Lanka.
Nām let bhavsindhu sukhāhīṁ, karahu vichār sujan man māhīṁ.
But His name is so powerful that it dries up the ocean of maya immediately. O good people, give some thought to this!
Rām ek tāpas tiy tārī, nām koṭi khal kumati sudhārī.
Ram uplifted only one soul (an ascetic’s wife, Ahilya), whereas His name has uplifted countless sinners.
Kaliyug keval Hari gun gāhā, gāvat nar pāvat bhav thāhā.
In Kaliyug one can cross the ocean of maya only by chanting the holy name.
Kaliyug jog na jagya na gyānā, ek adhār Rām gun gānā.
In Kaliyug, the paths of yog or knowledge (gyan) are of no use. Chanting of the holy name is the only resort.
Umā kahuṁ maiṁ anubhav apanā, sat Hari bhajan jagat sab sapnā.
(Shankar Ji to Parvati) “Uma, my experience is this: only the chanting of the holy name is true; all else is but a dream.”
Hā Raghunandan prān pirīte, tum binu jiyat bahut din bīte.
(Dashrath on his deathbed) “O Raghunandan! I have lived without You for too long now!”
Sītā Rām charan rati more, anudin baṛhaī anugrah tore.
May my love for the lotus feet of Sita and Ram increase day by day!
As abhimān jāi jani bhore, maiṁ sevak Raghupati pati more.
May I always be proud of the fact that I am the servant and my Master is Shree Ram Himself.
Sakhā param parmārath ehū, kariya Rām pad paṅkaj nehū.
Friend! The ultimate aim of life is to love the lotus feet of Ram.
Sab kar mat khaganāyak ehā, kariya Rām pad paṅkaj nehā.
Kagbhushundi! All are of the opinion that one must develop love for Ram’s lotus feet.
Jin Hari kathā sunī nahiṁ kānā, shravan raṁgh ahi bhavan samānā.
Ears that do not hear the glory of God are mere snake-holes.
Nayananhi sant daras nahiṁ dekhā, lochan mor paṅkh kar lekhā.
Eyes that do not behold the divine sight of Godly Saints are like the artificial eyes on peacock feathers.
Te sir kaṭu tuṁbari sam tūlā, je na namat Hari Guru pad mūlā.
The head that does not bow to God and Guru is like a bitter gourd.
Jinha Hari bhagati hṛiday nahiṁ ānī, jīvit shav samān tehi prānī.
The heart bereft of devotion belongs to one who is dead while living.
Jo nahiṁ karai Rām gun gānā, jīh so dādur jīh samānā.
The tongue that does not glorify Ram is like the tongue of a frog uttering nothing but ugly croaking sounds.
Kulis kaṭhor niṭhur soi chhātī, suni Hari charit na jo harṣhātī.
It is an extremely hard and merciless heart that does not experience extreme joy upon hearing God’s pastimes.
Jagat prakāshya prakāshak Rām, māyādhīsh gyān guṇ dhāmū.
The world is enlightened by the light of Ram, who is the Lord of maya, and abode of knowledge and virtues.
Sab kar param prakāshak joī, Rām anādi Avadhpati soī.
He who illumines all is Ram, the eternal Lord of Ayodhya.
Umā dāru yoṣhit kī nāī, sabahiṁ nachāvat Rām gusāī.
Uma, all are dancing to the tune of Ram.
Kabahuk kari karunā nar dehī, det Īsh binu hetu sanehī.
It is very rarely that the causelessly-merciful God grants the most precious gift of the human body.
Baṛe bhāg mānuṣh tanu pāvā, sur durlabh sadgranthanī gāvā.
It is with great fortune that one attains the human form that is inaccessible to heavenly gods, so say the scriptures.
Live recorded kirtan during the 2026 Five Day 18 Hours Sankirtan from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.
