Prayer

| Shri Guruve Namaha |

ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān

navamanyeta karhicit
na martya-buddhyāsūyeta
sarva-deva-mayo guruḥ

“Know the Guru to be Myself (God). Never think unfavorably about him. Do not use your material mind to comprehend the Guru’s divine actions, for all the forms of God dwell within him.” (Bhagavatam 11.17.27)

O my divine beloved the absolute Supreme Shree Krishna!

I have suffered to extremes in this world from the very beginning as I have ignored your grace.

My heart has become so impious by material associations, that even having learnt from your loving saints, that you are waiting for me, with open arms to embrace and you are looking at me with graceful eyes to grace, I have failed to surrender my “self” to you.

O refuge of the Destitutes! Who can know you without your grace?

O form of kindness, Shree Krishna! Please make me your own with a glance of your causeless grace.

O ocean of Love! I have no worldly ambition, nor do I wish for liberation. I only wish for your desireless Divine Love.

O Lord! Looking unto yourself, do not dishearten your pitiable child.

O my beloved Shree Krishna! Now it has come to the utmost. This life without your love is worse than death.

So endow alms of your love, endow alms of your love, endow alms of your love

Ramayana Chaupais

भये प्रगट कृपाला दीनदयाला कौसल्या हितकारी

हरषित महतारी मुनि मन हारी अद्भुत रूप बिचारी

Bhaye pragat kripala deendayala kausalya hitkaari

Harshit mahatari muni man haari adbhut roop bichari

The merciful Lord, who is compassionate to the destitute and the benefactor of Kaushalya, has appeared.

Upon seeing Him, Mother Kaushalya becomes overjoyed; the thought of whose marvelous form steals the hearts of sages.

लोचन अभिरामा तनु घनस्यामा निज आयुध भुज चारी .

भूषन वनमाला नयन बिसाला सोभासिन्धु- खरारी ..

Lochan abhirama tanu ghanshyama nij aayudha bhuj chaari

Bhushan vanamala nayan bisala sobhasindhu kharari

The delight of all eyes, His bodily complexion was like that of a rain laden cloud and he had weapons in His hands.

Adorned with a necklace of forest flowers and having large eyes, the slayer of the demon Khar was an ocean of beauty.

कह दुइ कर जोरी अस्तुति तोरी केहि बिधि करौं अनंता .

माया गुन ग्यानातीत अमाना वेद पुरान भनंता ..

Kah dui kara jori astuti tori kehi bidhi karaun ananta

Maya guna gyaanateet amaana vedpuraan bhananta

She said, joining her palms, “O Infinite Lord, in what ways do I sing your praises”

Vedas and Puranas declare that you are beyond Maya, beyond all attributes and knowledge and immeasurable.

करुना सुख सागर सब गुन आगर जेहि गावहिं श्रुति संता .

सो मम हित लागी जन अनुरागी भयौ प्रकट श्रीकंता ..

Karuna sukh sagar sab gun aagar jehi gaavahi shruti santa

So mama hita laagi jana anuragi bhayo prakat shrikanta

“You are the repository of compassion and bliss, and the Ocean of all virtues. The Vedas and all the Saints sing your glories.”

“O Beloved of devotees, the Lord of Laxmi, you have appeared for my sake”

ब्रह्मांड- निकाया निर्मित माया रोम रोम प्रति बेद कहै

मम उर सो बासी यह उपहासी सुनत धीर मति थिर न रहै

Bramhand nikaya nirmit maya rom rom prati bed kahai

Mama ur so baasi yeh upahaasi sunat dheer mati thir na rahai

Vedas declare that you create multiple universes from every pore of your body by your delusive potency Yogmaya

Hearing this laughable tale, even wise men will find it difficult to believe that you lived in my womb.

उपजा जब ग्याना प्रभु मुसुकाना चरित बहुत बिधि कीन्ह चहै

कहि कथा सुहाई मातु बुझाई जेहि प्रकार सुत प्रेम लहै

Upaja jab gyaana prabhu muskaanaa charti bahut bidhi keenha chahai

Kahi katha sunayi maatu bujhayi jehi prakaar suta prem lahai

When knowledge dawned upon the mother, The Lord smiled and said that he would like to perform various acts.

He recited the story from her past life to make her understand, so she could love Him as a child with motherly affection.

माता पुनि बोली सो मति डोली तजहु तात यह रूपा .

कीजे सिसुलीला अति प्रियसीला यह सुख परम अनूपा ..

Maata puni boli so mati doli tajahu taat yeh roopa

Keeje sishuleela ati priyaseela yeh sukh param anoopa

The mothers mind was changed and she said, “O Lord kindly give up this form.”

Kindly perform your childhood acts that will be so endearing to me and the joy that I will gain from them will be unparalleled.

सुनि बचन सुजाना रोदन ठाना होइ बालक सुरभूपा .

यह चरित जे गावहि हरिपद पावहि ते न परहिं भवकूपा ..

Suni bachana sujaana rodna thaana hoyi baalak sura bhoopa

Yeh charit jegavahi haripad paavahi te hina parahi bhavakoopa

On hearing these words, the all-knowing Lord of the Devtas (celestial gods), took the form of a child and began crying.

Whoever sings these pastimes and glories will attain the abode of Hari and will never fall back into the well of worldly existence.

Jagadguru Kripaluji Maharaj Aarti

Jagadguru Aarti (English)

Jayati jagata guru guruwar ki, gaao mili arti rasikavara ki.

Guru pada nakh mani chandrika prakash,
Jake ura base take moha tama naash,

Taate hoya maya moha saba hee nirash,
Gaao gaao mili arti rasika vara ki. Jayati jagadguru…….

Are mana ! moorh chhaanra naari nara haath,
Guru bina brahma shyam hoon na denge saath,

Komala Kripalu bare kripa sindhu naath,
Paa ke inhen aaj tu anaath ho sanaath,

Inheen ke aadheen kripa giridhara ki, gaao mili arti rasika vara ki.
Gaao gaao mili arti rasikvara ki. Jayati jagadguru…….

Bhaktiyog rasa avataar abhiraam,
Karen nigamaagam samanvaya lalaam,

Shyamaa shyam naam roop leela guna dhaam,
Baanti rahe prem nishkaam binu daam,

Ho rahee safala kaaya naari nara ki, gaao mili arti rasikvara ki.
Gaao gaao mili arti rasika vara ki. Jayati jagadguru…….

Lalee laal leela ka salona suvilaas,
Chhaaya divya drishti beech prem ka prakaash,

Veisa hee vinod vahee manju mridu haas,
Karen basa barabasa uchcha attahaas,

Jhoomi chalen chaal vahee natavara ki, gaao mili arti rasikvara ki.
Gaao gaao mili arti rasika vara ki. Jayati jagadguru……

Jagadguru Aarti (Meaning)

Let us perform the aarti of our revered master- Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, who is the crest jewel of rasik saints.
The darkness of Maya dissipates immediately from the heart of those who is always surrendered to Him. This is due to the divine light emanating from the nail-gems of His lotus feet.
O Lord, The power of Maya, with all its attributes, is incapacitated for those, who are protected by you.
Thus, your devotees attain the abode, knowledge, and love of beloved of Shri Radha - Krishna.
O foolish mind! forget about banking on the material beings. You can not get the help of even the Supreme Lord Krishna without the grace of Gurudev.

You are so lucky to have shelter at the lotus feet of Gurudev Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, who is so simple-hearted and the ocean of mercy! Hence, why don’t you take shelter at the lotus feet of such a kind master and put an end to your pitiable condition of being an orphan since eternity?
The grace of God is also under His control. Hence, let us perform the aarti of our revered master- Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj.
He is a beautiful incarnation of the nectar of devotion. He is expert as providing impressive reconciliation of the seemingly contradictory aspects of the Vedas and other scriptures with surprising ease.
He is generously distributing the priceless nectar of the divine names, forms, pastimes, attributes and abodes of Shri Radha Krishna without any cost.
Thus, He is rectifying the lives of human beings. Hence, let us perform the aarti of our revered master- Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj.
His eyes are saturated with the divine light of the beautiful divine pastimes of Shri Radha Krishna.
This is the reason why His humorous, luscious way of smiling, fantastically loud laughter and swaying gait are precisely similar to that of naughty Shri Krishna.
Hence, let us perform the aarti of our revered master- Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj.

Iti Vadati Tulsidas, Shankar Shesh Muni Man Ranjanam।
Mam Hriday Kanj Nivas Kuru, Kaamadi Khal Dal Ganjanam॥
Shri Rama Chandra Kripalu Bhajum

Thus says Shree Tulsidas, "May Shree Ram, who entices the heart of Lord Shiv, Lord Sheshnag, and of the great sages, reside in the lotus of my heart and slay the evil troops of lust and other forces of Maya."

Radha Krishna Aarti

Aarti preetam pyaari ki, ki banavaari nathavari ki

Duhuna sira kanaka mukuta jhalakei,

Duhuna meinana manahaari ki, ki banavaari nathavaari ki.

Shri Radha Krishna Aarti (Meaning)

Let us perform Arti of beloved Shri Krishna and exceptionally sweet Shri Radha, whose favorite ornament is nose ring.

Shri Radha and Krishna are gorgeously adorned with dazzling golden crowns. Their earrings are moving to and fro beautifully. Sweet nectar of divine love is overflowing form their eyes. Their talks are fascinating, Their eyes are full of nectar, Their glances are heart-piercing. Their beauty attracts even Cupid (a celestial god of beauty).

I sacrifice myself on Their bewitching glances. The beauty of Their curly hair is exceptional. The movement of their eyebrows is striking. The beauty of the red juice of betel leaves on their lips, sweet smile and luminous teeth, are captivating. What to say of the beauty of nose-pearl, which is really unique.

The yellow silky shawl is nicely fluttering on the chest of Shyam Sundar, on the other hand, a blue saree is adorning the body of Shri Radha Rani. Pearl-necklaces are adorning the upper body of both of them. The jingling of their bracelets, tinkling of their waist-belt, and the rattling of Their anklets are creating a most attractive combined sound, which is extremely enthralling.

A crown decorated with the peacock feathers is embellishing the head of Shri Krishna and a chunari is beautifying the head of Shri Radha Rani. The heads of both are slightly leaning on each other’s head. A group of gopis is standing around them and They are standing to put their arms around each other. Although this scene is really spectacular, yet what to say of that rapturous scene when they look intently into the eyes of each other!
