Ragera Bhajana Patha lyrics

rāgera bhajana patha, kohi ebe abhimata, loka veda sāra ei vāṇī sakhīra anugā hoiyā, vraje siddha deha pāiyā, ei bhāve juḍābe parāṇi

ragera bhajana patha, kohi ebe abhimata, loka veda sara ei vani sakhira anuga hoiya, vraje siddha deha paiya, ei bhave judabe parani

रागेर भजन पथ, कोहि एबे अभिमत, लोक वेद सार एइ वाणी सखीर अनुगा होइया, व्रजे सिद्ध देह पाइया, एइ भावे जुडाबे पराणि

I shall now describe the path of spontaneous love for Krsna, which is glorified by the exalted devotees and the Vedic literatures. By traversing this path of spontaneous love one becomes a follower of the gopis and attains the perfect spiritual body of a liberated soul. 2-3) I shall now describe the most important of Srimati Radharani's gopi-friends. Lalita, Visakha, Sucitra, Campakalata, Rangadevi, Sudevi, Tungavidya, and Indulekha, are the eight most important gopi friends of Srimati Radharani. Her other gopi-friends are divided into groups: the narma-sakhis, priya-sakhis, and prestha-sakhis. All these gopis constantly render loving service to Srimati Radharani.

radhikara sakhi yoto , taha va kohibo koto, mukhya sakhi koribo ganana lalita visakha tatha, citra campakalata rangadevi sudevi kathana

राधिकार सखी योतो , ताहा वा कोहिबो कोतो, मुख्य सखी कोरिबो गणन ललिता विशाखा तथा, चित्रा चम्पकलता रङ्गदेवी सुदेवी कथन

sama snehā viṣama snehā, nā koriho dui lehā kohi mātra adhika snehā-gaṇa nirantara thāke saṅge, kṛṣṇa kathā līlā raṅge narma sakhī ei sab jana

sama sneha visama sneha, na koriho dui leha kohi matra adhika sneha-gana nirantara thake sange, krsna katha lila range narma sakhi ei sab jana

सम स्नेहा विषम स्नेहा, ना कोरिहो दुइ लेहा कोहि मात्र अधिक स्नेहागण निरन्तर थाके सङ्गे, कृष्ण कथा लीला रङ्गे नर्म सखी एइ सब जन

Equal affection for Radha and Krsna or more affection for Krsna than for Sri Radha - do not become attached to that. I will just speak about preference for Sri Radha! They are always in Her company, blissfully telling Her about Krsna. They are all called narma sakhis.

śrī rūpa mañjarī sāra, śrī rati mañjarī āra, lavaṅga mañjarī mañjulālī. śrī rasa mañjarī saṅge, kasturikā ādi raṅge, prema sevā kore kutūhole

Sri Rupa-manjari, Sri Rati-manjari, Lavanga-manjari, Manjunali, Sri Rasa-manjari, Sri Kasturi Manjari, and many more are eagerly and lovingly serving Srimati Radharani, [supplying her musk and various other articles].

e sabhāra anugā hoiyā, prema sevā nibo cāiyā, iṅgite bujhibo sab kāja. rūpe guṇe ḍagamagi, sadā hobo anurāgī, vasati koribo sakhīra mājha

e sabhara anuga hoiya, prema seva nibo caiya, ingite bujhibo sab kaja. rupe gune dagamagi, sada hobo anuragi, vasati koribo sakhira majha

ए सभार अनुगा होइया, प्रेम सेवा निबो चाइया, इङ्गिते बुझिबो सब काज. रूपे गुणे डगमगि, सदा होबो अनुरागी, वसति कोरिबो सखीर माझ

I am the follower of all these gopis. I shall serve them with great love. I will completely understand their orders, even when couched in casual hints or gestures. I shall become immersed in wonder at their transcendental virtues and beauty, and I shall dearly love them. I shall always remain in their company.

vṛndāvane dui jana, catur-dike sakhīgaṇa samaya bujhibo rasa sukhe sakhīra iṅgite hobe, cāmara ḍhulābo kobe, tāmbūla yogābo cāṅda mukhe

vrndavane dui jana, catur-dike sakhigana samaya bujhibo rasa sukhe sakhira ingite hobe, camara dhulabo kobe, tambula yogabo canda mukhe

वृन्दावने दुइ जन, चतुर्दिके सखीगण समय बुझिबो रस सुखे सखीर इङ्गिते होबे, चामर ढुलाबो कोबे, ताम्बूल योगाबो चाङ्द मुखे

Immersed in the happiness of serving the Divine Couple surrounded by Their gopi-friends in Vrndavana, I will understand the gopis' hints, and, taking up the camara wish I will fan the Divine Couple, and after that I will place betel nuts in Their moonlike mouths.

yugala caraṇa sevi, nirantara ei bhāvi, anurāgī thākibo sadāya. sādhana bhāvibo yāhā, siddha-dehe pābo tāhā rāga pathera ei se upāya

yugala carana sevi, nirantara ei bhavi, anuragi thakibo sadaya. sadhana bhavibo yaha, siddha-dehe pabo taha raga pathera ei se upaya

युगल चरण सेवि, निरन्तर एइ भावि, अनुरागी थाकिबो सदाय. साधन भाविबो याहा, सिद्धदेहे पाबो ताहा राग पथेर एइ से उपाय

Someday I will constantly serve the lotus feet of the Divine Couple with great love. At present I will follow the rules of sadhana-bhakti until I attain a perfected spiritual body and am able to love the Divine Couple spontaneously.

sādhane ye dhana cāi, siddha dehe tāhā pāi, pakkāpakka mātra se vicāra apakke sādhana rīti, pākile se prema-bhakti, bhakati lakṣaṇa tattva sāra

sadhane ye dhana cai, siddha dehe taha pai, pakkapakka matra se vicara apakke sadhana riti, pakile se prema-bhakti, bhakati laksana tattva sara

साधने ये धन चाइ, सिद्ध देहे ताहा पाइ, पक्कापक्क मात्र से विचार अपक्के साधन रीति, पाकिले से प्रेमभक्ति, भकति लक्षण तत्त्व सार

That treasure of pure love of God for which I hanker while I follow the regulative practices of sadhana-bhakti, I will attain when I have the spiritual body of a liberated soul. Actually sadhana-bhakti and prema-bhakti are the same devotional service. Sadhana-bhakti is the stage where love for Krsna has not fully ripened yet, and prema-bhakti is the same devotion where love for Krsna has reached the mature, ripened stage. That is the description of devotional service.

narottama dāse koy, ei yeno mora hoy, vrajapure anurāge vāsa. sakhīgaṇa gaṇanāte, āmāre likhibe tāte, taba hi pūrabo abhilāṣa

narottama dase koy, ei yeno mora hoy, vrajapure anurage vasa. sakhigana gananate, amare likhibe tate, taba hi purabo abhilasa

नरोत्तम दासे कोय्, एइ येनो मोर होय्, व्रजपुरे अनुरागे वास. सखीगण गणनाते, आमारे लिखिबे ताते, तब हि पूरबो अभिलाष

Narottama dasa says: I hope that I may attain the stage of spontaneous love for the Divine Couple in the town of Vraja. I hope that I will be counted among the gopi-friends of the Divine Couple. O Divine Couple, in this way I will be able to serve You and satisfy all Your desires.

sakhīnāṁ saṅginī rūpām ātmānāṁ vāsanāmayīm ājñā sevāparāṁ tat tad rūpālaṅkāra bhūṣitām

sakhinam sangini rupam atmanam vasanamayim ajna sevaparam tat tad rupalankara bhusitam

सखीनां सङ्गिनी रूपाम आत्मानां वासनामयीम आज्ञा सेवापरां तत तद रूपालङ्कार भूषिताम

The stage of prema-bhakti is described in the following statements of Vaisnava literature: "One should meditate on oneself as being the maidservant of the gopis, and in this way one will attain their mercy."

kṛṣṇaṁ smaran janaṁ cāsya preṣṭhaṁ nija samīhitam tat tat kathā rataś cāsau kuryād vāsaṁ vraje sadā

krsnam smaran janam casya prestham nija samihitam tat tat katha ratas casau kuryad vasam vraje sada

कृष्णं स्मरन जनं चास्य प्रेष्ठं निज समीहितम तत तत कथा रतश चासौ कुर्याद वासं व्रजे सदा

"The devotee should always think of Krsna within himself, and one should choose a very dear devotee who is a servitor of Krsna in Vrndavana. One should constantly engage in topics about that servitor and his loving relationship to Krsna, and one should live in Vrndavana. However, if one is physically unable to go to Vrndavana, he should mentally live there."
