Bhajan Kutir

gauravirbhava-bhumes tvam nirdeshta saj-jana-priyah
vaishnava-sarvabhaumah shri-jagannathaya te namah
I offer my respectful obeisances to Jagannatha dasa Babaji, who is respected by the entire Vaishnava community and who discovered the place where Lord Caitanya appeared.

Information – Here is the Bhajan Kutir of Siddha Srila Jagannath dasa Babaji Maharaj under the Keli Kadamba tree. In the influence of everlasting Bhajan of Srila Jagannath dasa Babaji Maharaj the complete “HARE KRSNA” Maha mantra were reflected and spotted in that Keli Kadamba tree. However, the Keli Kadamba tree is no longer present.

From Madhvācārya to Mādhavendra Purī, from Mādhavendra Purī to Īśvara Purī, from Īśvara Purī to Lord Caitanya, from Lord Caitanya to Svarūpa Dāmodara, from Svarūpa Dāmodara to six Gosvāmīs—Rūpa Gosvāmī, Sanātana Gosvāmī—from Gosvāmīs to Kṛṣṇadasa Kavirāja Gosvāmī, the author of Caitanya-caritāmṛta, and from him Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura, and from Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura, Viśvanātha Cakravartī, from Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura to Jagannātha dāsa Bābājī, from Jagannātha dāsa Bābājī to Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, from Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura to Gaurakiśora dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja, and from Gaurakiśora dāsa Bābājī my spiritual master, and then we are descended.

Jagannatha Dasa Babaji has written this song “dekho sakhi jhulata yugala kisora”. In this song, Jagannatha Dasa Babaji wonderfully describes the divine swing pastime of Srimati Radharani and Sri Krishna. He yearns for that day when he too will be able to see this great pastime in the forests of Vrindavana.

(1)

dekho sakhi jhulata yugala kisora

nilamani jadaola kascana jora

lalita visakha sakhi jhulayata sukhe

anande magana heri donhe donha mukhe

(2)

garajata gagane saghane ghana ghora

rangini sangini gherata cauttara

vividha kusume sabe raciya hindola

dolaya yugala sakhi anande vibhola

(3)

jhulaota sakhigana karatali diya

suvadani kohe pache giraye bandhuya

vigalita dukula udita sveda bindu

amiya jharaye yeno duhun mukha indu

(4)

heri sab sakhigana donhakara srama

camara vijana lei koroye sevana

bhramara kokila sab bosi taru dale

rati jaya radha-krsna radha krsna bole

kohe jagannatha kobe hobe subha dine

sakhi sahe donhakare heribo vipine

1) “Look, O sakhi, at the Yugala Kisora on the swing, resembling a sapphire embraced by gold! Lalita and Visakha blissfully push the swing, while the Divine Pair is absorbed in bliss, admiring Each other’s faces!”

2) “Clouds loudly rumble in the sky as Rangini (playful Radhika) sits on the swing, that is decorated with different flowers, surrounded by Her girlfriends that are ecstatically swinging the Divine Pair.”

3) “The sakhis are pushing the swing with their handpalms (so hard that) Suvadani (fair-faced Radhika) says (to Krsna): “O friend! We will fall backwards!” Their garments loosen and the sweat drops that appear on Their moon-like faces resemble drops of nectar.”

4) “Seeing how the Divine Pair perspires of fatigue, all the sakhis begin to serve Them by fanning Them with yaktail fans. The bumblebees and cuckoos are sitting on the branches of the trees and are singing: “Jaya Radha Krsna! Jaya Radha Krsna!” with great love. Jagannatha dasa says: “When will that blessed day be mine when I can see both of them in the forest with the sakhis?”
