Sthâyi

 

mono mandire râkho sri gurur dhyân

sri gurur kripây pâbe sarbe siddhi-gyân.

 

Antarâ

 

mohimây guru krishna ek bole jâni

bhakata bhâbei take beshi kore mâni

braja mâdhurite târ akripan dân.

 

Meaning – O mind, you are like a temple in which I should always meditate on Sri Gurudev. By the mercy of Sri Gurudev, you will gain all divine knowledge and accomplish success in all aspects.

 

I know Sri Gurudev to be non-different from Sri Krishna; however I honor him as a dear devotee of the Lord. In deed his generous contribution in making us relish the sweetness of Brajadhâm is inexpressible!

  1. Didi- love these songs!!! This last one says trital, is this the same as tintal? Maybe someday I can have all of your darsan and we can have bhajan?
  2. Radhe Radhe. Yes please, brother Vishnudas, tritaal is the same as teen taal. It has sixteen maatraas total. Uncle Gourpada sings only scriptural tunes (classical). He is lovely. He is another fan, friend and admirer of your………….. Uncle Gourpada has rendered all the ashtakaaliya leelaa of Gour and Govinda in beautiful songs, got them corrected by Baba (Gurudev), and now he sings them acc to the taal and raag appropriate for that particular time of the day and season. This pleases Govinda, who is the supreme most connoisseur of music , His favorite Ved being the Saam-ved (vide BG – 10th ch) and He being the source of all raags and taals.
