Keno Hare Krishna Nam \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh Why While Chanting Hare Krishna\u2026?\u201d<\/span>
\n#Bhaktivinoda Thakura<\/span><\/p>\n

(refrain) keno hare krishna nam hari bole\u2028mano pran kande na<\/span>
\nkeno\u2014why?; hare krishna nam\u2014the names Hare Krishna; hari bole\u2014chanting the name of Lord Hari; mano pran\u2014my inner heart; kande na\u2014does not weep.<\/span>
\n(refrain) Oh, why does my heart not weep from chanting the holy names Hare Krishna?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/span>
\npakhi na jani kon aparadhe\u2028mukhe hare krishna nam bolo na<\/span>
\npakhi\u2014the bird of my heart; na jani\u2014I do not know; kon aparadhe\u2014by some offense; mukhe\u2014with the mouth; hare krishna nam\u2014the names of Hare Krishna; bolo na\u2014does not chant.<\/span>
\n1) The bird of my heart does not know what past sinful activities it has committed to cause this inability to chant Hare Krishna properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/span>
\nbaner pakhi re dhare raklam hridoy mandire\u2028madhu makha ei hari nam\u2028pakhi re sikhaile sikhe<\/span>
\nbaner pakhi\u2014a bird of the forest; re\u2014O!; dhare\u2014holding; raklam\u2014I have kept; hridoy mandire\u2014in the temple of my heart; madhu makha\u2014smeared with honey; ei\u2014this; hari nam\u2014name of Lord Hari; pakhi re\u2014O bird!; sikhaile\u2014upon being instructed; sikhe\u2014learns.<\/span>
\n2) O forest bird! I have kept something for you very carefully within the cottage of my heart\u2014the holy name of Lord Hari, which is overflowing with pure sweet honey. O bird, you could learn the chanting of this name if you were taught.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n(3)<\/span>
\npakhi sakal nam bolte paro\u2028keno hare krishna nam bolo na\u2028keno hare krishna nam hari bole mano pran kande na<\/span>
\npakhi\u2014a bird; sakal nam\u2014all names; bolte paro\u2014is able to speak; keno\u2014why?; hare krishna nam\u2014the names of Hare Krishna; bolo na\u2014does not chant.<\/span>
\n3) A bird is easily able to speak all names; why then does this bird of my heart refuse to chant Hare Krishna? Oh, why does my heart not weep from chanting the holy names Hare Krishna?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n(4)<\/span>
\nchalo pakhi ruper dese jai\u2028je desete maner manus asa jaoya nai<\/span>
\nchalo\u2014please go; pakhi\u2014O bird!; ruper dese\u2014to the land of true beauty; jai\u2014I go; je desete\u2014at which place; maner manus\u2014the mentally-imagined man; asa jaoya\u2014comes and goes (as in repeated birth and death); nai\u2014not.<\/span>
\n4) O bird! Come, let us go to the spiritual world, the land of true and everlasting beauty. It is the place where the imaginary man of my mind will never again come and go on the revolving cycle of birth and death.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n(5)<\/span>
\npakhi re tor marana kalete\u2028carabi vaser dolate\u2028ore car janete kandhe kore\u2028loye jabe smasan ghatete<\/span>
\npakhi re\u2014O bird!; tor\u2014your; marana kalete\u2014at the time of death; carabi\u2014you will be placed; vater dolate\u2014on the funeral stretcher made from slips of bamboo; ore\u2014oh!; car janete\u2014by four persons; kandhe kore\u2014placing on the shoulder; loye\u2014carrying; jabe\u2014will proceed; smasan ghatete\u2014to the cremation landing.<\/span>
\nO bird! At the time of death, your body will simply be placed upon a funeral stretcher, lifted on the shoulders of four persons and carried to the cremation grounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n(6)<\/span>
\nore o tor mukhe aguna jihve tule\u2028ki korobi tai bolo na<\/span>
\nore o\u2014alas!; tor\u2014your; mukhe\u2014in the mouth; aguna\u2014fire; jihve\u2014the tongue; tule\u2014obliterate; ki korobi\u2014what can you do?; tai\u2014at that; bolo na\u2014you do not speak.<\/span>
\n(6) Alas! The cremation fire will then enter your mouth and totally consume your tongue. There will be nothing you can do to save yourself, for at that time it is too late\u2014you will be unable to speak any more.<\/span><\/p>\n
