Prem Ki Dor…

Lord has a thousand ways to impart you wisdom, the best of Lord’s wisdom is when He imparts you the knowledge of Divine Love, how to truly love him?

Yesterday, I had a conversation with a very wonderful person on our forum. We all know her as Shalini Pandey, this bhajan is inspired by seeing her selfless, pure love for the divine, which keeps her bubbly, joyful, and alive. She is one of the sweetest gopis of Krishna, always immersed in his bhakti alone. Thank you so much Shaliniji for teaching me subtly how to Love? In case, you are wondering from where Uddhava came, That is me ( with half-baked knowledge 🙈)

On the occasion of Valentine’s day, this bhajan is dedicated at the lotus feet of my Guru alone🙏🙏🙏

Hindi Lyrics with English Translation:

Prem ki dorr se,Bandhein mere Kanhaaji, 

The supreme Lord is tied to you only with the thread of divine love,

Bandhein mere Kanhaaji, Bandhein mere Kanhaaji, 

That alone tie him to you, That alone does;

Maan Ghannaa le,Uddhav aayo,

Uddhav with his half-baked knowledge and pride in his heart,

Param Bramha ka jnana bataayo,

Started explaining to Gopis how to be established in the Self,

Gopiyaan kahein kuch samajh na aayo ji,

But Gopis in their utter simplicity said they do not understand.

Chitt jo unka tum har laayo ji,

How can they for You, O’ Lord has taken away their mind so that they can transcend it,

Prem ki dorr se,Bandhein mere Kanhaaji, 

You have tied them to yourself in the divine thread of love!!!

Antaryaami, Antar jaane,

The inner witness within knowing Uddhav’s innermost need,

Uddhav ko chale, Prem sikhaane,

send him to Gopis to teach him, Pure Love,

Geet na Gaaoji, Dhyaan na meechoji,

Seeing Gopis he learned, there is no song required to reach him, there is no solitude needed to be with him,

Mantra na jaapoji, Jnana na baatonji,

Neither one needs to connect to the living energy of mantra, nor does one need to impart the scriptural knowledge,

Mann mein meri anupam chavvi laao ji,

O’ Uddhav, just behold the uncomparable image of the divine in the heart,

Usse na apne nayan hataaon ji,

And let your mind’s eyes be on HIM eternally.

Prem ki dorr se,Bandhein mere Kanhaaji…

 For the supreme Lord is tied to you only with the thread of divine love,

Bandhein mere Kanhaaji, Bandhein mere Kanhaaji, 

That alone tie him to you, That alone does;

🌼🌼🌼All Glories to Swamiji alone 🌼🌼🌼
