Hari ! Hari! Biphal Janam...(Hindi Translation of a Bengali Bhajan)

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Hari Bol!

 

Knowing that there are some members who do understand Hindi quite well, I am posting a Hindi translation of a Gaudiya Vaishnav bhajan that i love. The original bhajan is in Bengali written by Srila Narottam Das Thakur.

 

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! All Glories to All Vishnava Acharyas!

Hari! Hari! vifal janam gaNvaa deenhaa

manushya janam paayaa, Naam Hari kaa naahi liyaa

jaan sun kar bhii kaahe vish leenhaa

 

Go-lok kaa prem-dhan, Hari naam sankeertan

phir bhee us peh, dil kyoN naa aay

sansaar kee aag visham, hiyaa jale jismeiN nish-din

soojhe naahiiN koyee bhee upaay

 

Hari! Hari! vifal janam gaNvaa deenhaa

manushya janam paayaa, Naam Hari kaa naahi liyaa

jaan sun kar bhii kaahe vish leenhaa.

 

GovindA!!!

Hari Hari! Viphale Janama GoNAinu

Srila Narottama dAsa ThAkura

 

hari hari! viphale janama goNAinu

manuzya janama pAiyA, rAdhA-kRSNa nA bhajiyA ,

jAniyA SuniYa viza khAinu (1)

 

O Hari! Even after receiving this rare human birth, I have wasted this life, not having

performed bhajana of RAdhA-KRSNa. Rather, I have knowingly drunk poison.

 

I think the version that we sing is a bit different from yours.

 

Oh, this song I love it too.

We use to sing it in the Math.

"Is Hindi difficult to learn? How long does it take usually?"

 

If you are already exposed to Sanskrit verses and bhajans and kirtans, you may pick it up quite easily. How long? well that depends on several factors - if u aleady have some exposure to the language and most imp opportunities u have of listening and speaking the language. For example if u spent say 6 months in brindavan while learning the language, u would become proficient very soon.

Any language is best learnt and remembered when in constant use - lisening to others' speak (thru people or movies or audios) and getting the chance to make conversations with others in the language.

 

GovindA! Hari bol!

Hari! Hari! anAdi Prabhu, am i glad to find someone on the forum has heard this touching bhajan and thanks for writing the original bhajan.

 

The reason i love this bhajan is: the pathos that the blend of the words and the traditional music convey touches one's heart to the core....and the words ring true to the stark reality of the material world.....

 

"O Hari! Even after receiving this rare human birth, I have wasted this life, not having performed bhajana of RAdhA-KRSNa. Rather, I have knowingly drunk poison." so true...and conveyed with such humility by an advanced devotee like Srila Narottamdas Thakur!!!

 

Oh! when will my proud mind ever reach such a state of humility!!!

 

GovindA! Hari bol!

For you the second Vers,

 

golokera prema-dhana, harinAma saNkirtana,

rati nA janmila kene tAya

saMsAra-viSAnale, divA-niSi hiyA jvale,

juDAite nA kainu upAya (2)

 

The treasure of prema-bhakti has descended with nAma-saNkirtana.

Oh, why am I not attracted to it?

My heart is burning night and day in the poisonous fire of material life,

but I have not taken the remedy to extinguish it.

For the wonderful bhakti lata didi

 

from the very qualified

of being delivered

 

vrajendra-nandana jei, Saci-suta haila sei,

balarAma haila nitAi

dina-hina jata chila, hari-nAme uddhArila,

tA'ra SAkzI jagAi mAdhAi (3)

 

Vrajendra-nandana has come as Saci-suta Gaurasundara. BalarAma has come as

NityAnanda. They delivered all the fallen and the wretched jivas through harinAma, as

witnessed in JagAi and MAdhAi.

 

This is our qualification.

....singing along, please allow me the pleasure of completing the last stanza of this beautiful bhajan (which as u may know is sung in a faster rhythm than the earlier stanzas)..

 

hA hA prabhu nanda-suta, vrZhabhAnu-sUta-juta,

korunA karoho ei-bAro

narottam dAsa koy, nA theliho rAngA pAy

tomA binA ke Ache AmAra

 

Translation:

Oh! Son of Nanda along with Daughter of vrZhabhAnu, pour Your mercy on me, (in) this (life) time,

Marottam Das says please do not push me away from Your lotus feet, for I belong to no-one except You.

 

Hari Hari bifale janam gONAinu....

 

bhakti~lata

 

PS - wouldnt it be wonderful if we had a "bhajan-room" built using "voice facilitated chat-room" technique...where devotees online could meet and sing some nice bhajans.
