Vande Vrndatavi lyrics

vande vrndatavi-candramradhikaksi-mahotsavam brahmatmananda-dhikkaripurnananda-rasalayam

वन्दे व्र्न्दतविचन्द्रम्रधिकक्सिमहोत्सवम ब्रह्मत्मनन्दधिक्करिपुर्ननन्दरसलयम

Those aspirant practitioners who have first had profound meditation on the purport of great statements like "tattvamasi", etc., and who have attained unity with the bliss of merging into the Brahmana effulgence, themselves find that such so-called bliss is put to shame before the completely ecstatic spiritual relationship between the taster and tasted mellows. I bow to that most astonishing abode of such totally blissful mellows, the very moon over Vrndavana: Sri Krsna, Who is the delightful festival for Sri Radhika's eyes.

caitanya-caranam vandekrsna-bhakta-janasrayam advaita-mata-dhaureyabharapanodanam param

caitanya-caranam vandekrsna-bhakta-janasrayam advaita-mata-dhaureyabharapanodanam param

चैतन्यचरनम वन्देक्र्स्नभक्तजनस्रयम अद्वैतमतधौरेयभरपनोदनम परम

I bow to the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, which are the only shelter for all of the greatly fortunate devotees of Lord Krsna. His lotus feet cast out to a distant place the unbearable burden of the doctrine of undifferentiated monism, as it was propounded by Sripada Sankaracarya.

gurum vande mahabhagamkrsnananda-svarupakam yan mude racayisyamikalyana-kalpa-padapam

gurum vande mahabhagamkrsnananda-svarupakam yan mude racayisyamikalyana-kalpa-padapam

गुरुम वन्दे महभगम्क्र्स्ननन्दस्वरुपकम यन मुदे रचयिस्यमिकल्यनकल्पपदपम

I bow to the lotus feet of my most worshipable Gurudeva, who is the personified form of blissful Krsna consciousness. Jut to increase his transcendental happiness; I will compose the book known as "Kalyan Kalpa-taru".

aprakrta-rasanandena yasya kevala ratih tasyedam na samalocyampustakam prema-samputam

aprakrta-rasanandena yasya kevala ratih tasyedam na samalocyampustakam prema-samputam

अप्रक्र्तरसनन्देन यस्य केवल रतिह तस्येदम न समलोच्यम्पुस्तकम प्रेमसम्पुतम

The aggregate of the following 24 elements I called "prakrti": the 5 gross elements, the 5 objects of the senses, the 5 working senses, the 5 knowledge-acquiring senses, mind, intelligence, ego, and mahattattva. The truth that is above and beyond all these is called "transcendental truth". That truth although being the original reservoir of all blissful spiritual mellows, is not appreciated by all persons, indeed, those who have not developed unalloyed love and attachment to this transcendental truth will not read this book, which is just like a small jewel box for guarding the most confidential gems of ecstatic love. Thus they simply remain attached to meditating on material bodily happiness, becoming completely submerged and drowned in the insignificant ocean of lust.

ayam kalpa-taror-namakalyana-padapah subhah vaikuntha-nilaye bhativane nihsreyasahvake

ayam kalpa-taror-namakalyana-padapah subhah vaikuntha-nilaye bhativane nihsreyasahvake

अयम कल्पतरोर्नमकल्यनपदपह सुभह वैकुन्थनिलये भतिवने निह्स्रेयसह्वके

In the abode of Vaikuntha, within the forest of ultimate good, there is one special wish-fulfilling desire tree of supreme auspiciousness, conspicuously present among all the others.

tasya skandha-trayamsuddham vartate vidusam mude upadesas thatha copalabdhistucchvasakah kila

tasya skandha-trayamsuddham vartate vidusam mude upadesas thatha copalabdhistucchvasakah kila

तस्य स्कन्धत्रयम्सुद्धम वर्तते विदुसम मुदे उपदेसस थथ चोपलब्धिस्तुच्छ्वसकह किल

This tree is divided into three principle branches known as "Upadesa" (spiritual advice), "Upalabdhi" (attainment of realization), and "Ucchvasa" (overflowing spiritual emotions), which increase the joy of all persons who are actually wise.

asritya padapam vidvankalyanam labhate phalam radha-krsna-vilasesudasyam vrndavane vane

asritya padapam vidvankalyanam labhate phalam radha-krsna-vilasesudasyam vrndavane vane

अस्रित्य पदपम विद्वन्कल्यनम लभते फलम रधक्र्स्नविलसेसुदस्यम व्र्न्दवने वने

The shelter of this special desire-tree produces the attainment of fruits in the form of auspiciousness. This means eternal servitude to the performance of Sri-Sri-Radha-Krsna's pastimes in the realm of the transcendental forest named Vrndavana, within the innermost secret abode of Vaikuntha.

sampujya vaisnavan vipransarva-jivamsca nityasah kirtayami vinito 'hamgitam vraja-rasasritam

sampujya vaisnavan vipransarva-jivamsca nityasah kirtayami vinito 'hamgitam vraja-rasasritam

सम्पुज्य वैस्नवन विप्रन्सर्वजिवम्स्च नित्यसह किर्तयमि विनितो ऽहम्गितम व्रजरसस्रितम

I now humbly perform the chanting of all the songs which are sheltered under the mood of Vraja, just to worship all of Lord Krsna's jiva souls. This includes all the Vaisnava residents of Vraja-dhama, Ksetra-dhama, and Navadvipa-dhama, as well as all the brahmanas who are beyond fruitive activities and speculative knowledge, as well as all the souls from Lord Brahma down to the untouchable outcastes and dogs.
