Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics गोविंद चले आओ, गोपाल चले आओ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOiAi42cdlE

गोविंद चले आओ, गोपाल चले आओ


गोविंद चले आओ, गोपाल चले आओ, हे मुरलीधर माधव, नंदलाल चले आओ

हे आनंद घन मोहन रसराज चले आओ,


अखियाँ भर भर आई सांवरिया, भीगी जाए मोरी चुनरिया

प्यारे काली घटा भी झूमके बरसे, मैं कैसे आऊं तेरी नगरिया 


पनघट पे मैं जब भी जाऊँ, राह तकूँ पर चैन  पाऊं,

सखियां मेरी हंसी उड़ाएं, पांव फिसल के छलके गगरिया,


सपनों में भी  आकर तुम, दिल को जलाते हो हरदम,

पू जैसे जल बिन मछली, हाय लेकिन ली ना तुमने खबरिया,

राह तकूँ पर  नहीं पाऊं, सारी दुनिया जाग रही है ,

काली रात है डर भी लागे, छम छम बैरन बोले पायलिया

गोविंद चले आओ, गोपाल चले आओ, हे मुरलीधर माधव, नंदलाल चले आओ, 


तू नहीं मेरा मगर, तुमसे मोहब्बत है, तो है

अगर यह रस्मो रिवाजों से बगावत है, तो है

सच को मैंने सच कहा जब कह दिया तो कह दिया

यह जमाने की नजर में यह हिमाकत है तो है (हिमाकत =Foolishness)

क्यों दुनिया की नजर में प्यार करना किसी मूर्खता से कम नहीं है और जो बुद्धि का इस्तेमाल करें वो प्यार कर भी नहीं सकता



कब कहा मैंने कि वह मिल जाए, मैं उसे

लेकिन दूर ना हो जाए वह इतनी हसरत है तो है

गैर ना हो जाए वह इतनी हसरत है तो है


जल गया परवाना तो शम्मा की इसमें क्या खता

रात भर जलना जलाना उसकी किस्मत है, तो है

यार बनके जालिमों सा वह सताता है मुझे

फिर भी उस जालिम पर मरना अपनी फितरत है, तो है



दूर थे और दूर है हरदम जमीन और आसमान

दूरीयों के बाद भीदोनों में कुरबत है तो है

(वो कौन सा पल है जब ज़मीन और आसमान आमने सामने नहीं होते)

(कुरबत ,i.e., सामीप्य, nearness)



मेरा शौक देख, इंतजार देख, मेरे अरमान देख, कह क्या रहे हैं यह

काश मेरे नसीब में एक और मुलाकात होती, फिर वही बात हो फिर वही रात हो

 जाओ ओ रस पूरीत सावन मेरी प्रीति की जीवन मोरी (base)

सब व्यवधान समेट लो मनहर अब नेक रखो ना दूरी (व्यवधान=problems, नेक =even a little)


हे मेरे चिरंतन धर्म, अंतर स्थित के मर्म, चितहू के नागर चोर (चितहू =heart)

तुम बिन सुना है सब ओर

दिल की हस्ती भी अजीब हस्ती है, यह लूटने वाले को ही तरसती है

इस विरह निशा में मेरे सुधाकर (moon), तुम ज्योति सुधा सरसा

प्राणों की पीड़ा को हर लो हे सुरभित यौवन

(सुरभित यौवन = Fragrant ever Youthful)

आओ मेरे मोहन हीए के फूल, मत जाओ भूल, आओ मम मधुमत मन के भ्रमर

(हीए=heart, मम =mine, मधुमत =honey)

प्रिय तुम बिन सूना है सब ओर

गोविंद चले आओ



प्रीतम को कब लाएगा यह मेरा इंतजारे सनम

राहों में ही बीत रहा यह जीवन हसीन तोहफा सनम

प्यारे आओ तो फिर से हो जाए यह जीवन उमंगों का संगम

क्षण क्षण प्रतीक्षा में बीत रहा कब होगा खतम इंतजारे सनम

मरने से पहले आंखें मेरी चाहें तेरा दीदारे सनम


जाती बार वो कह गए अब हम सिर्फ ख्वाबों में आएंगे

ए सखी जा कर कह दे उन्हें कि वह वादा तो करें, हम जिंदगी भर के लिए सो जाएंगे

तेरी जगह कोई और होता तो कहां उसका मेरे दिल पर कोई जोर होता

अपनी अदा पे तुम्हें बहुत गरूर है, आंखों के तीर सहना भी हमको मंजूर है

लेकिन एक बात तुमसे कहनी जरूर है कि इश्क में तुमसे मिलना रस्में फितूर है”


गोविंद चले आओ गोपाल चले आओ, हे मुरलीधर माधव, नंदलाल चले आओ

Bhagvatam: LORD BRAHMÄ POINTED OUT TO THE DEMIGODS THAT BY THE STRENGTH OF THE GURU ONE CAN BECOME MOST POWERFUL WITHIN THIS WORLD, AND BY THE DISPLEASURE OF THE GURU ONE CAN LOSE EVERYTHING ,8th Aug

Bhagvatam: LORD BRAHMÄ POINTED OUT TO THE DEMIGODS THAT BY THE STRENGTH OF THE GURU ONE CAN BECOME MOST POWERFUL WITHIN THIS WORLD, AND BY THE DISPLEASURE OF THE GURU ONE CAN LOSE EVERYTHING.


TRANSLATION
Because of your misbehavior toward Brhaspati, you have been defeated by the demons. My dear demigods, since the demons were weak, having been defeated by you several times, how else could you, who were so advanced in opulence, be defeated by them?

PURPORT
The devas are celebrated for fighting with the asuras perpetually. In such fights the asuras were always defeated, but this time the demigods were defeated. Why? The reason, as stated here, was that they had offended their spiritual master. Their impudent disrespect of their spiritual master was the cause of their defeat by the demons. As stated in the shästras, when one disrespects a respectable superior, one loses his longevity and the results of his pious activities, and in this way one is degraded.

TRANSLATION
O Indra, your enemies, the demons, were extremely weak because of their disrespect toward Sukrächärya, but since they have now worshiped Sukrächärya with great devotion, they have again become powerful. By their devotion to Sukrächärya, they have increased their strength so much that now they are even able to easily seize my abode from me.

PURPORT
Lord Brahmä wanted to point out to the demigods that by the strength of the guru one can become most powerful within this world, and by the displeasure of the guru one can lose everything. This is confirmed by the song of Vishvanätha Chakravarti Thäkura:

"By the mercy of the spiritual master one is benedicted by the mercy of Krshna. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement." Although the demons are insignificant in comparison to Lord Brahmä, because of the strength of their guru they were so powerful that they could even seize Brahmaloka from Lord Brahmä. We therefore pray to the spiritual master:

By the mercy of the guru, even a dumb man can become the greatest orator, and even a lame man can cross mountains. As advised by Lord Brahmä, one should remember this shästric injunction if one desires success in his life.

GITA-SHLOKA-4.26 The four divisions of human life, namely the brahmachari, the grhastha, the vanaprastha, and the sannyasi, are all meant to help men become perfect yogis or transcendentalists,8th Aug

GITA-SHLOKA-4.26 The four divisions of human life, namely the brahmachari,  the grhastha, the vanaprastha, and the sannyasi, are all meant to help men become perfect yogis or transcendentalists.



TRANSLATION
Some of them sacrifice the hearing process and the senses in the fire of the controlled mind, and others sacrifice the objects of the senses, such as sound, in the fire of sacrifice.
PURPORT
The four divisions of human life, namely the brahmachari,  the grhastha, the vanaprastha, and the sannyasi, are all meant to help men become perfect yogis or transcendentalists.

Since human life is not meant for our enjoying sense gratification like the animals, the four orders of human life are so arranged that one may become perfect in spiritual life.

The brahmacharis, or students under the care of a bona fide spiritual master, control the mind by abstaining from sense gratification.

They are referred to in this verse as sacrificing the hearing process and the senses in the fire of the controlled mind.

A brahmachari hears only words concerning Krsna consciousness; hearing is the basic principle for understanding, and therefore the pure brahmacari engages fully in harer namanukirtanam—chanting and hearing the glories of the Lord.

He restrains himself from the vibrations of material sounds, and his hearing is engaged in the transcendental sound vibration of Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

Similarly, the householders, who have some license for sense gratification, perform such acts with great restraint.

Sex life, intoxication and meat eating are general tendencies of human society, but a regulated householder does not indulge in unrestricted sex life and other sense gratifications.

Marriage on principles of religious life is therefore current in all civilized human society because that is the way for restricted sex life.

This restricted, unattached sex life is also a kind of yajna because the restricted householder sacrifices his general tendency toward sense gratification for higher transcendental life.

Bhagvatam: PEOPLE MUST TAKE TO KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS TO UNDERSTAND THE AIM OF LIFE, TO UNDERSTAND GOD, AND TO FULFILL THE HUMAN MISSION, 5th Aug

Bhagvatam: PEOPLE MUST TAKE TO KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS TO UNDERSTAND THE AIM OF LIFE, TO UNDERSTAND GOD, AND TO FULFILL THE HUMAN MISSION


TRANSLATION
Leaders who have fallen into ignorance and who mislead people by directing them to the path of destruction [as described in the previous verse] are, in effect, boarding a stone boat, and so too are those who blindly follow them. A stone boat would be unable to float and would sink in the water with its passengers. Similarly, those who mislead people go to hell, and their followers go with them.

PURPORT
As stated in the Vedic literature (Bhäg. 11.20.17):
We, the conditioned souls, have fallen in the ocean of nescience, but the human body fortunately provides us a good opportunity to cross the ocean because the human body is like a very good boat.

When directed by a spiritual master acting as the captain, the boat can very easily cross the ocean.

Furthermore, the boat is helped across by favorable winds, which are the instructions of Vedic knowledge.

If one does not take advantage of all these facilities to cross the ocean of nescience, he is certainly committing suicide.

One who boards a boat made of stone is doomed.

To be elevated to the stage of perfection, humanity must first give up false leaders who present boats of stone.

All of human society is in such a dangerous position that to be rescued it must abide by the standard instructions of the Vedas.

The cream of these instructions appears in the form of Bhagavad-gitä.

One should not take shelter of any other instructions, for Bhagavad-gitä gives direct instructions on how to fulfill the aim of human life.

Lord Sri Krshna therefore says, sarva-dharmän parityajya mäm ekam sharanam vraja: "Give up all other processes of religion and simply surrender to Me.”

Even if one does not accept Lord Krshna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, His instructions are so exalted and beneficial for humanity that if one follows His instructions one will be saved.

Otherwise one will be cheated by unauthorized meditation and gymnastic methods of yoga.

Thus one will board a boat of stone, which will sink and drown all its passengers.

Unfortunately, although the American people are extremely eager to get out of materialistic chaos, they are sometimes found to patronize the makers of stone boats.

That will not help them.

They must take the proper boat offered by Krshna in the form of the Krshna consciousness movement.

Then they will be easily saved.

In this regard Srila Vishvanätha Chakravarti Thäkura comments: 

If society is guided by political diplomacy, with one nation maneuvering against another, it will certainly sink like a stone boat.

Political maneuvering and diplomacy will not save human society.

People must take to Krshna consciousness to understand the aim of life, to understand God, and to fulfill the human mission.
