keno hare kṛṣṇa nām hari bole

TRANSLATION

Refrain: Oh, why does my heart not weep from chanting the holy names Hare Krsna?

1) The bird of my heart does not know what past sinful activities in has committed to cause this inability to chant Hare Krsna properly.

2) O forest bird! I have kept something for you very carefully within the cottage of my heart – the holy name of Hari, which is overflowing with pure sweet honey. O bird, you could learn the chanting of this name if you were taught.

3) A bird is easily able to speak all names; why then does this bird of my heart refuse to chant Hare Krsna? Oh, why does my heart not weep from chanting the holy names HareKrsna?

4) O bird! Come, let us go to the spiritual world, the land of true and everlasting beauty. It is the place where the imaginary man of my mind will never again come and go on the revolving cycle of birth and death.

5) O bird! At the time of death, your body will simply be placed upon a funeral stretcher, lifted on the shoulders of four persons and carried to the cremation grounds.

6) Alas! The cremation fire will enter your mouth and then totally consume your tongue. There will be nothing you can do to save yourself, for at that time it is too late – you will be unable to speak anymore.

Which is powerful Nectar/Blessings?

Posted by dinesh

Bali Maharaj was killed in the battle with devas after the nectar was consumed by the devas. Then Sukracharya who is the descendent of Brghu Muni, a great race of brahmanas - he performed some special rituals and chanted mantras and actually brought Bali Maharaj back to life! Bali Maharaj was so grateful, he felt so indebted that he served Sukracharya with so much humility and so much devotion and he also served all of the brahmanas of the Brghu dynasty. In this way he pleased them exceedingly and they blessed him. They blessed him in such a way that he became more powerful than ever before, he was radiant, effulgent. INDRA WARNED He gathered his armies together to march on Indra's kingdom. They surrounded it. Indra looked out and just by seeing the effulgence of Bali and Bali's incredible enthusiasm to do whatever it took to get Indraloka, Indra didn't know what to do. He approached his guru, Brhaspati and said, "Look at Bali and his people they look like they can swallow the whole universe, see his enthusiasm, see the strength he has, what's happening? what are we supposed to do?" And Brhaspati, he was a mystic, he could see past, present and future. He said that, "Bali Maharaj has served his guru very faithfully and pleased him and he has also served the great brahmanas, the great souls - they have blessed him. There's nothing you can do". This is very interesting - more powerful than even then nectar, more empowering than this nectar that they fought over so much was the blessings of great souls. That as long as he has the blessings of these great souls, he has the power way, way, way beyond his own. You see what the nectar can do is it can increase your own power but Bali has accessed something much greater by getting the heartfelt blessings due to his humble, loving service to great souls. Hes now empowered by God, its not about him anymore because the guru and the great saints are carrying the power of God and they have bestowed that power upon him, hes unstoppable. "Its not just Bali, you are dealing with brahma-tejas, the supreme power of the brahmanas, the great saints. Indra, don't even try fighting him, the nectar or nothing else is going to help you now. I advise you to disguise yourself, run away and hide". This is quite a big instruction for a kshyatriya like Indra and all the devas. And thats all they could do, they disguised themselves and by their mystic powers they can really disguise themselves, they can change their forms. So the asuras could not recognize any of them and they just slipped away and went into hiding places and waited. Brhaspati said, "Just wait, be patient. Time is not on your side but at a certain time in the future I can foresee that Bali Maharaj is going to displease his guru and the brahamana race and when that happens he's going to lose all this potency and you will get everything back"
