Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji's song

Avatharithan Kannan - Vadamadhuraiyil!

 

Ăvani Mădhathil Ashtami Thithiyil

Rohini nalliravil ulagam uyya

 

Mămarai pottridum thămarai kannan

Sangudan Chakkaramum păngudan dharithu

 

Kirita Kundalangal milirndu oli veesa

Seerum Sirappudane sirai thannile

 

Vasudevar părthida Devaki thuthi seyya

Srivatsa maruvudan kausthubamum anindhu

 

Mădavan vandhida mangalam engum ponga

Muralidharan thutikka moondrulagamum magizha

(Avatharithan Kannan - Vadamadhuraiyil!)

 

Translation:

Krishna incarnated - in the city of Mathura!

 

In the month of Ăvani!

On the eighth day of the dark fortnight!

On the pitch dark night when the star Rohini was in its ascent!

For all the worlds to be elevated!

 

The lotus-eyed Lord praised (sung) by all the Vedas

Bearing the conch and chakra very elegantly

 

With crown and ear-rings dazzling brightly!

With great pomp in a prison !

 

While Vasudeva looked on with wonder and Devaki uttered praises!

Adorned with the Kaustubha gem and the Srivastsa Mark!

 

While Madhava's descent brings about auspiciousness everywhere

While Muralidhara sings the glory of the Lord!

While all the three worlds are immersed in bliss!

(Krishna incarnated - in the city of Mathura!)

Janmashtami Message from Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

What is pleasing to Krishna? How can I make him happy?

 

No wonder, Lord Krishna attracts one and all

 

Festivals like Gokulashtami are also meant to overcome idleness, bring in cheerfulness and promote social interaction

 

The purpose of Incarnation of Sri Krishna is to give to the world - His Name, His attractive Form and His various leelas

 

Born in a 'Karagraha' (prison), Sri Krishna entered the 'Garbagraha' (the sanctum) just for the sake of 'Anugraha' (gracing us)

 

The Nama is verily the propeller of the ship. The captain of this ship is none other than Sri Krishna Himself!

 

Sri Krishna says; I protect those who have surrendered unto me and look up to me for their protection

 

For all questions he had only one reply, "One should perform Krishna Namakirtan"

 

Chant the Name of Krishna continuously! Oh! Friend! கிருஷ்ண மந்த்ரம் ஜபத நிரந்தரம் 

 

When you chant do not bother whether your mind wavers or not. Nama will take care of that.....proceed doubtlessly with faith in the words of the Guru

 

Swamiji, You talk only of Bhakti towards Krishna. Why?

 

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
