Kripalu Bhajan
Rx to Cross All Difficulties
Rx to Cross All Difficulties
Constantly repeat the Lord's name every day,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare!
If you don't do this then all hardship will stay,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare!
There is no second choice, no other way, hey,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare! . . . . . . .
You are the flame that kindles every light ray,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare!
And You are filling all the clouds with rain's spray,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare!
Only the Lord is the Protector, thus we say,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare! . . . . . . .
God's name hold onto when you swim life's seaway,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare!
Those who forget His name will float astray,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare!
Sages and Saints of truth and love, Your name display,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare! . . . . . . . . .
Your name makes all pure, it happens this way -
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare!
Our storehouse of sins, Your name will burn away,
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare!
In my heart "Kripalu" You are born as I pray
Hare! Hare! Ram! Hare! Hare! . . . . . . .
This is a really fun bhajan to sing as it is easy for the group to join in with each Hare Hare Ram. It is available on c.d. but also in person.
Vinit Muniji provided the word for word translation and Leela crafted it so that it could be sung in English.
