Victory to the child Krishna, divine Flute-player* and Lord of Liberation Who lives in the enchanted land of Gokula and is the friend of the cows Krishna wanted to show that life is a play, * The flute symbolizes the spinal column, which according to Raja Yoga and that is what He lived, the perfect Leela. is the pathway to Liberation. ~Swami Amar Jyoti 2 Krishnadeva Vasudeva Krishnadeva Vasudeva Narayana Hare Hare Narayana Hare Hare Jai Narayana Hare Hare (Murali Mohana, Govinda Gopala Krishna Keshava, Vishwarupa) Sing to Krishna, the indwelling Lord, the Abode of all beings, the captivating Flute-player, the enchanting Herder of cows, the Beautiful Haired One, the Universal form of God. 3 Devaki Nandana Gopala Devaki Nandana Gopala Devaki Nandana Gopala Gopala, Gopala, Devaki Nandana Gopala Nanda Kishora Gopala Navanita Chora Gopala This chant celebrates Gopala, the cowherd boy, who is the bliss of His mother and the joy of His father. Krishna as Gopala steals the hearts of all with His divine love, just as He steals butter and yoghurt from His mother’s kitchen. 4 Vrindavan Way up high where Chakora birds fly Way up high on Govardhan Hill While the monkeys hide Where Krishna runs with the cowherd boys And the dancing peacocks And Balaram—in Vrindavan Cry a song—in Vrindavan Way down low where green grass grows Way down low where the bumblebees fly The Yamuna flows with lotus flowers In the jasmine groves where Radharani Sits and waits for Krishna In Her hands—in Vrindavan *Conchshell, fish, lotus and discus are symbols, according Vrindavan, Krishna never leaves Vrindavan to scriptures, seen on the bottom of Sri Krishna’s Feet He never goes far away Vrindavan, Krishna never leaves 5 Shyama Shyama Sri Bol Because that’s where Krishna’s friends Shyama Shyama Sri Bol All stay—Vrindavan Hare Rama Rama Sri Bol Way up high where the leaves blow by Hare Rama Rama Sri Bol There’s fruit and flowers dropping down Hare Shyama Shyama Sri Bol Upon the ground—for Krishna Hare Rama Rama Sri Bol Sing the Holy Name of the beautiful, dark-complexioned Way down low there are footprints* found Lord (Vishnu) in His captivating incarnations as Krishna and Rama.
