Stuti - Hymn in Praise of the Lord

(A Stuti is a hymn in praise of the Lord. I want so much to write a beautiful Stuti for my Giridhari. This is a first attempt. We usually translate from Sanskrit to English, in this case I need someone to convert from English to Sanskrit. I'm not a poet, so whatever flows from the heart I write for Him. Bhajan - Bhaj means to share, sharing with you so we can sing great praises and worship the Lord together!)



Stuti for the Lord is being revealed, a beautiful melody and poetry starts flowing from within.

“Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
I bow down and surrender myself at Your feet.
In all the worlds besides You there is nothing so sweet…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
Luckiest are those who can experience Your transcendental presence.
Most compassionate is the Lord who showers His grace and radiance…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
What words can this mind offer to one who is beyond expression.
I can sing for eons in Your praise yet it remains pale in comparison…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
Beyond understanding are You yet my being is captivated by Your love.
Oh Lord tell me what is the secret to that unknowable pull of Your soul…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
So great is this attraction to You oh Lord, that all attachments are quickly torn.
Fast I enter into Your reign, the light of the Lord, and then I’m truly born…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
How can beings that count and measure estimate the immeasurable bliss that is beyond bounds.
How can I enumerate the virtues and brilliance of You the Creator himself of these – it astounds…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
I am born from You, You are the source of all, you are the Alpha and the Omega.
I am in You, You are in me, You are the witness of all creation - Your amazing Maya…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
You, within whom the whole universe resides, remain formless, infinite, eternal, and uncreated.
Being ever liberated You liberate, in ecstatic Bhakti the Bhakt merges into You my Beloved…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
For the Gopis you brought Vaikunta to Vrindavan, You made life a celebration!
Where ever I see there is only You, I bow to your ocean of creation…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
Only from the heart can You be seen, not the eyes of the mind, nor by those in haste.
Rise up! Rejoice! Let’s sing His glory, fill knowledge with nectar, and become chaste…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare,
Glory to You O my Lord Krishna! May these tears of love and gratitude forever roll from my eyes.
This devotee begs You not to go and leave me again; can I not be forever in Your presence…Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna Govind Hare Murare Hey Nath Narayana Vasudeva!"
