nārada-muni, bājāya vīṇā,
‘rādhikā-ramaṇa’-nāme
nāma amani, udita haya,
bhakata-gīta-sāme

Vaishnav Bhajan
Narada Muni Bajay Vina
Composed by Bhaktivinoda Thakura
amiya-dhārā, variṣe ghana,
śravaṇa-yugale giyā
bhakata-jana, saghane nāce,
bhariyā āpana hiyā
भावार्थLike a monsoon cloud, the holy name showers nectar in their ears. All the devotees, due to great ecstasy, repeatedly dance to their hearts content.
mādhurī-pūra, āsaba paśi’,
mātāya jagata-jane
keha vā kāṅde, keha vā nāce,
keha māte mane mane
भावार्थAll the people of the universe become maddened upon entering this intoxicating shower of nectar. Some people cry, some dance and others become fully intoxicated within their minds.
pañca-vadana, nārade dhari’,
premera saghana rola
kamalāsana, nāciyā bale,
‘bola bola hari bola’
भावार्थLord Siva, embracing Narada Muni, repeatedly makes loud screams of ecstatic joy, and Lord Brahma, dancing very ecstatically, says, “All of you kindly chant, Haribol! Haribol!”
sahasrānana, parama-sukhe,
‘hari hari’ bali’ gāya
nāma-prabhāve, mātila viśva,
nāma-rasa sabe pāya
भावार्थIn great happiness the thousand-faced Ananta Sesa chants “Hari! Hari!” By the influence of the transcendental vibration of the holy name, the whole universe becomes ecstatically maddened and everyone tastes the mellows of the holy name.
śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāma, rasane sphuri’,
purā’la āmāra āśa
śrī-rūpa-pade, yācaye ihā,
bhakativinoda dāsa
भावार्थThakura Bhaktivinoda, the humble servant of the Lord, says, “The holy name of Krishna has fulfilled all my desires by vibrating on everyone’s tongue.” Bhaktivinoda therefore prays at the feet of Sri Rupa Goswami that the chanting of harinam may continue like this always.
