(Pad kirtan or bhajan composed by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj on devotional humility and bhakti. Exerpted from Dainya Madhuri of “Prem Ras Madira”.)
Deena ki, suna lo Deenanatha !
Oh, Lord of the destitute souls, Shri Krishna! Listen to my cry.
Sadhana-heena, malina, chhina haun, saba vidhi Nath anath.
I am without any means, extremely sinful and fallen. My Lord! I am an orphan in every sense.
Shraddha bal sambala nahin nekahun, nahin santana ko satha.
I have not a trace of devotion in my heart nor do I associate with your Saints.
Budata haun bhava-sindhu Dayamaya! Pakari lehu aba hatha.
Oh merciful Lord! I am drowning in the fathomless ocean of this material world. Please save me now by taking my hand.
Swarg, apavarga, na mangata, raha tava pad mama matha.
I do not desire the pleasure of the celestial abodes or the bliss of liberation. I only want to place my forehead on Your lotus-feet.
Dai nija prema Kripalu! Kripaluhin, kariye Natha sanatha.
Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj says, “Oh Krishna! Please grace me with your selfless divine love and Me your own forever.”
