Kirtan -the Yoga Bliss tour-2010 with Amala Kirtan das : Krishna

Sometimes called the national anthem of Vrindavan, here is Sri Sri Radha-kripa-kataksha-stava-raja. It is considered the king of prayers which petitions the merciful sidelong glance of Srimati Radharani. It is from the Urdhvamnaya-tantra. Spoken by Lord Shiva and composed in a lovely meter, this exceptional prayer is sung daily in a charming melody by many Vrajavasis. In the final verse Lord Siva states, "Upon hearing this most astonishing prayer of mine being recited by a devotee, may Sri Vrishabhanu-nandini (Radharani ) constantly make him the object of Her most merciful sidelong glance. At that time all his karmic reactions - whether mature, fructifying, or lying in seed - will be completely destroyed  and he will gain entrance into the assembly of Nandanandana's (Krsna's) eternal loving associates."

King of Prayers

Preparing for Balaram Purnima

Lord Balaram -The spiritual strength of devotees!

When I was a small boy I could not understand the difference between
the conscious and dead matter. And therefore when I saw the burnt out
remnants such as bones and skull of the body of my own father,I felt
heart-broken, thinking that he would have undergone the pain of
burning the body. But the soul already left the body&there would be no
consciousness and the pain.This is the defect of dehätmì-one who
considers the body as the self. Of course there would've been enormous
pain while leaving the body due to intense attachment to wife,
children and the body itself. This was a real life experience to
understand what is death in a close proximity. We'll never be able to
contact the person once the soul leaves the body. So we've to always
make sure that we are properly understood by people around us and also
express our gratitude for everything that we get from others before it
gets too late :)
We are conscious of only ourself and only Krishna knows who's where
and what's their destination.But because we are going to depart,we
cannot act too detached in our dealings with family and the society.
We need to have affectionate support from our devotee Friends and
family to run our day to day life but with proper knowledge and on the
basis of Krishna Consciousness.
