Hari Hari! āra ki emon daśā hobo

Kirtan, Sree Phuleswardas Brahmachari

This Bengali kirtan is from the book 'Prarthana' of Srila Narottama Das Thakur and is titled 'Sādhaka Dehocita Sri Vṛndāvana Vāsa Lālasā Song 1'. Thakur is expressing extreme greed to become a wanderer in the blissful Vraja-dhama. Body smeared with the holy dust, he loudly calls out the names of Sri Radha and Krishna in a choked voice full of love. He longs, when will my body fall down to the ground as I am wandering visiting various places like Rāsa-sthalī, Vaṁśīvaṭa, Girirāja Govardhan and Śrī Rādhākuṇḍa? This Kirtan is sung by Sri Phuleswar Brahmachari in the association of devotees praying for the blessings of Srila Gurudev prior to Srila Gurudev’s departure.

  • hari hari! āra ki emon daśā hobo?
    e bhava saḿsāra tyaji, parama ānande maji,
    āra kobe vrajabhūme yābo

    sukhamaya vṛndāvana, kobe hobe daraśana,
    se dhūli mākhibo kobe gāya
    preme gada gada hoiyā, rādhā-kṛṣṇa nāma loiyā,
    kāńdiyā beḍābo ubharāya

    nibhṛta nikuñje jāiyā, aṣṭāńga praṇata hoiyā,
    ḍākibo hā rādhānātha boli
    kobe yamunāra tīre, paraśa koribo nīre,
    kobe pibo karapuṭe tuli

    āra kobe emana hobo, śrī rāsa maṇḍale yābo,
    kobe gaḍāgaḍi dibo tāya
    vaḿśīvaṭa chāyā pāiyā, parama ānanda hoiyā,
    paḍiyā rahibo tāra chāya

    kobe govardhana giri, dekhibo nayana bhari,
    kobe hobe rādhākuṇḍe vāsa
    bhramite bhramite kobe, e deho patana hobe,
    kohe dīna narottama dāsa
