Narada Muni Plays His Vina -- From Gītāvalī by Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura - Gold Series CD 3 Track 5

(1)

narada muni, bajay vina

'radhika-ramana'-name

nama amani, udita haya,

bhakata-gita-same

When the great soul Narada Muni plays his stringed vina, the holy name, Radhika-ramana descends and immediately appears amidst the kirtana of the Lord's devotees.

(2)

amiya-dhara, barise ghana,

sravana-yugale giya

bhakata jana, saghane nace,

bhoriya apana hiya

Like a monsoon cloud, the holy name showers nectar in their ears. All the devotees, due to great ecstasy, repeatedly dance to their hearts' content.

(3)

madhuri-pura, asava pasi',

mataya jagata-jane

keho va kande, keho va nace,

keho mate mane mane

All 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.

(4)

panca-vadana, narade dhori',

premera saghana rol

kamalasana, naciya bole,

'bolo bolo hari bolo'

Lord 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!'"

(5)

sahasranana, parama-sukhe,

'hari hari' boli' gaya

nama-prabhave, matilo visva,

nama-rasa sabe paya

In great happiness, thousand-faced Ananta Sesa sings 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.

(6)

sri-krsna-nama, rasane sphuri',

pura'lo amar asa

sri-rupa-pade, yacaye iha,

bhakativinoda-dasa

Thakura 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 Gosvami that the chanting of hari-nama may always continue like this always.
