Moods Of Kirtan (Siksastakam)

Moods Of Kirtan (Siksastakam)

The Cleansing of the Heart
Extinguishing the Great Forest Fire of Material Existence
Spreading the Moonlight of Ultimate Goodness
The Life of the Bride of Knowledge

Increasing the Ocean of Bliss at Every Step
Tasting the Full Nectar
Immersing the Soul in Everything
Supreme Victory to the Chanting of Lord Krishna

In various names, you have invested all your powers
There are no restrictions on remembering them at any time
Such is your mercy, my Lord
Unfortunately, I have no attachment to this misfortune

Even lower than a blade of grass
More tolerant than a tree
Devoid of all pride
Always chant the name of Hari

Not interested in wealth, followers, or beauty
Nor in poetry or ruling the world
In every birth, O Lord of my life
Let my devotion be causeless towards you

O son of Nanda, I am your servant
Fallen in the ocean of birth and death
By your mercy, standing at your lotus feet
Please consider me as insignificant as a speck of dust

Tears flowing from my eyes
Voice choked with emotion
Body covered in goosebumps
When will all this happen
In the chanting of your name?

In a moment that feels like an eternity
My eyes are filled with tears
Empty is the whole world
Without Govinda, I am in pain

Either embrace me or crush me under your feet
Or make me suffer from not seeing you
However you wish, O Lord of my life
He alone is my master, no one else
