Janmashtami Bhajans

The festival of Janmashtami is celebrated with great zeal by Hindus across India. The eighth day of Savana month is important in the Hindu calendar, because this is the day when Lord Krishna was born in Mathura. The little town of Mathura, situated along the banks of River Yamuna, has now turned into a place of worship. Lord Krishna temple in Mathura is renowned for its Janmashtami celebrations. However, all the temples of Shri Krishna are special on Janmashtami. At midnight stroke, the devotees of Shri Krishna sing devotional songs (bhajans) to praise the deity. It is customary to perform aarti in the midnight of ashtami, when Lord Krishna was born. In this article, we have given the lyrics of some of the popular bhajans that can be sung on Krishnashtami.

Krishna Janmashtami Bhajans

Darshan Do Ghanshyam

Darashan do ghanashyam naath mori
Ankhiyan pyaasi re
Man mandir ki jyoti jagaado,
Ghat ghat basi re

Mandir mandir murat teri
Phir bhi naa dikhe surat teri
Yug bite naa aai milan ki
Puranamasi re

Dwaar dayaa kaa jab tu khole
Pancham sur mein gungaa bole
Andhaa dekhe langadaa chal kar
Pahunche kasi re

Paani pi kar pyaas bujhaun
Nainon ko kaise samajhaaun
Aankh michauli chhodo ab
Man ke basi re

Nibarl ke bal dhaan nidharn ke
Tum rakhwaale bhakt janon ke
Tere bhajan mein sab sukh paun
Mite udasi re

Naam jape par tujhe naa jaane
Unako bhi tu apanaa maane
Teri dayaa kaa ant nahin hai
He dukh nashi re

Aaj phaisalaa tere dwaar par
Meri jit hai teri haar par
Har jit hai teri main to
Charan upaasi re

Dwaar khadaa kab se matavaalaa
Maange tum se har tumhaari
Narasi ki ye binati sunalo
Bhakt vilaasi re

Laj naa lut jaaye prabhu teri
Naath karo naa dayaa mein deri
Tin lok chhod kar aao
Gangaa nivasi re

Bhajo Radhe Govinda

Bhajo Radhe Govinda
Gopala Tera pyara naam hai
Gopala Tera pyara naam
Nandalala Tera pyara naam

Mor mukat maathe tilak
Gale vaijanthimala Gale
Koi kahe Vasudev ka
Koi kahe Nandalala Koi kahe
Bhajo Radhe Govinda.

Gaj aur Grehe lade jal
Jal mein chakra chalaya Jal mein chakra chalaya
Jab jab bhid padi bhagaton par
Nanggi pairin dhaya Nanggi pairin dhaya
Bhajo Radhe Govinda.

Bhajo Man Govind Gopala

Bhajo Man Govind Gopala
Govind Gopala Gopala
Bhajo man Govind Gopala
Govind bolo Hari Gopal bolo
Govind Gopala, Gopala
Bhajo man Govind Gopala

Rang Le Khudko, Murari Ke Rang

Rang le khudko, murari ke rang
Jeevan ke sab rang hain jhoote
Rang lo mohe
Apne rang mein murari.

Mrigtrishna ke is jaal se ab karo mukti humari,
Rang lo mohe
Apne rang mein murari.

Dukh-sukh, paap-punya hain aane jane.
Rang lo mohe
Apne rang mein murari

Mayajaal ke rang hai kacche, bas tohre naam ke pukke,
Rang lo mohe
Apne rang mein murari

Tohre naam se hoga is bhav sagar ka paar
Rang lo mohe
Apne rang main murari

Darsh Do Mohe Girdhari

Darsh do mohe girdhari

Chahta jana chhodd duniya ka sath
Darsh do mohe

Moh maya ke is bhanwar se
Do mujhe ab ubhar
Darsh do mohe
More pran chhootat jat

Karm ki gathariya ho gayi bhari

Sumiran kar tera antim kshan mein
Mujhe milega swarg ka dwar
Darsh do mohe
More pran chhootat jat

More pyare girdhari
Sun lo ab arz humari
Darsh de mohe
More pran chhootat jat
