Shyāmā Shyām sharaṇ gahu re man!
(A devotee addresses his mind and says,) O my mind! Fully surrender yourself to Shyama Shyam!
Yugal mādhurī dhyān dhare ur, gāu nām gun rahu Vṛindāvan.
Remember the sweet Couple (Radha Krishna) in your heart, sing Their name and virtues, and live in Vrindaban.
Sakhī-bhāv saṇtan anugat hwai, prēm-sudhā pivu lahu jīvan-dhan.
Following the instructions of the Saints of gopi bhao, drink the nectar of Divine love and receive the true wealth of human life.
Hwai niṣhkām, dhām-niṣhṭhā gahi, gahavar ban bicharahu Govardhan.
Being selfless and having faith in Their abode (that Radha Krishna are always there) wander in the leela places of Braj, Gahvarban, Govardhan, etc., and,
Bhari bhari aṅk latan, ānaṅd-jal, jharjhar jhari lāvahu janu sāvan.
(Remembering the loving plays of Radha Krishna and thinking that They walked on these grounds,) embrace the trees and plants of Their leela places and aspiringly shed tears of love and longing (with a desire in your heart to visualize those leelas that happened over there).
Imi ‘Kripalu’ madamatt rain din, nit nav ras chākhahu manabhāvan.
In this way, taste the ever-new Bliss of your own liking drowned in Their love day and night (and vividly dreaming about Their leelas in ecstasy).
Live recorded kirtan during the 2026 Sadhana Shivir from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.
