Murali Madhuri · Pad 1
ali! muralī ke bad̤a bhāga re
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh sakhi! This flute is extremely blessed. I don’t know what great austerity it has practised to become so intimate with Shyāmasundara. Imbued with Shyāmasundara’s love, it unhesitatingly drinks the nectar of His lips day and night. Besides, sometimes, Shyāmasundara holds it in His hands and sometimes, clasps it to His heart. The inference is Shyāmasundara does not leave it even for a moment. Up to what extent can we say, even the greatest paramahansas like Shuka, Sanaka etc. and the greatest yogis like Bhagwan Shaṅkara etc. are mad for it. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the most concerning thing is that it also blemishes our ancestral propriety (because, mesmerizing us by its enchanting music, it forces us to forget all decorum).

ali! muralī ke bad̤a bhāga re
yāne jāne kauna kiyo tapa, nita mohana-mukha lāga re
nidharaka piyata adhara-rasa nishi-dina, sarasa prema rasa pāga re
kabahuṁka kara, kabahuṁka ura hari tehi, ika chhina kahaṁ nahiṁ tyāga re
shuka sanakādi shambhu se yogihuṁ, yāya karata anurāga re
kaha ‘kripālu’ yaha lokahiṁ, vedahiṁ, kulahiṁ lagāvati dāga re
