Shri Krishna Madhuri · Pad 6
kānha kī jādū bharī musakāna
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
The smile of Shyāmasundara is full of magic! Whosoever sees that sweet smile forgets all worldly decorum as well as the Vedic and ancestral traditions. In order to give bliss to those deserving souls who could not behold His sweet smile, He plays on His flute. Furthermore, even those who neither saw His captivating smile nor heard the enchanting music of His flute, long to see Him, being attracted to Him by listening to His attributes. What more could be said, even the self-realized souls, who are oblivious of even their body, senses etc., give up their meditation even of the stage of trance on the Impersonal (formless) God, and become engrossed in the divine love-bliss of the Personal God, Shrī Kṛishṇa forever. But, Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī lovingly says, “I challenge Shyāmasundara that He cannot captivate my mind. If He can, then, He should prove it practically.”

kānha kī jādū bharī musakāna
jina dekhī tina bisari gaī chhina, loka-veda-kula kāna
jina nahiṁ dekhī, tina dekhana kahaṁ, ṭerata muralihiṁ tāna
jina nahiṁ dekhī, sunī tinahuṁ mana, lahakata suni guna-gāna
jina nahiṁ bhāna tanuhuṁ tina gyānihuṁ, chhuṭata samādhina dhyāna
deta ‘kripālu’ chunautī hari kahaṁ, mohiṁ mohahu taba jāna
