Hari OM
Sounds-day is for listening/viewing a variety of
devotional items from and for all ages and traditions.
A simple and love-filled bhajan calling upon Sri Krishna. Even though you know not the words, allow yourself to feel the devotion and longing in this tune.
The gist is this:
He Govinda He Gopala He Daya lulal
(O
Govinda, O Gopala, O Ocean of Mercy)
Prana Natha Anatha Sakhe
(O Lord of
my life you are my only true friend)
Dina Darda Nivara
(The only
protector of this unfortunate soul)
He Samaratha Agamya Purana
(O eternal
Divine “King”, I am unfit to approach you as I am)
Moha Maya Dhara
(holding
on to my illusions and attachments)
Andha Kupa Maha Bhayana
( I
have fallen into this andha kupa- deep dark well of ignorance)
Nanaka Para Utara
(You are
my only shelter and means of deliverance)
