Guru Carana kamala bhaja Mana

Beautiful Kirtan sung by Sripad BV Muni Maharaja during his visit to Holland in September 2009. Recordings by Ashok Krishna Dasa. Guru-Carana-Kamala Bhaja Mana O Mind, Just Worship the Lotus Feet of Sri Guru Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja guru-carana-kamala bhaja man guru-kripa vina nahi koi sadhana-bal, bhaja man bhaja anuksan (1) O mind, just worship the lotus feet of Gurudeva! Without Gurudeva's mercy we have no strength in our sadhana. Therefore, O mind, worship and serve him at every moment! milata nahi aisa durlabha janama, bhramatahu caudaha bhuvana kisi ko milte hai aho bhagya se, hari-bhakto ke darasan (2) Without coming to Sri Guru in this rare human birth, we are simply wandering about these fourteen planes! Oh, how fortunate we are to have come to him -- to get the darsana of Sri Hari's devotee! krishna-kripa ki ananda murti, dina-jana karuna-nidan bhakti bhava prem -- tina prakasata, sri guru patita pavan (3) Sri Guru is the blissful embodiment of Krishna's mercy and the reservoir of compassion for the destitute souls. He enlightens us in bhakti, bhava and prema and is the saviour of the fallen! sruti smriti aur puranana mahi, kino spastaa pramana tana-mana-jivana, guru-pade arpana, sri harinama ratan (4) All the srutis, smritis and Puranas describe Sri Guru's glories. Offering my body, mind and very life to the feet of Gurudeva I incessantly sing sri harinama!
