Sri Krsna Sankirtana

Vocals and instrumentals by Phalini devi dasi

When you’ve tasted everything there is to taste

When you’ve chewed all there is to chew

When you’ve tried everything there is to try

What else is there to do?

When you’ve already been around the block

And painted all the towns red

When you’ve traveled through every species of life

But all those bodies ended up dead

When you’ve tried all the pleasures available here

But you’re still hankering for more

What else is there to do, my friend

But surrender to Sri Sri Nitai-Gaura?

(Refrain)

Glory to the Sri Krsna Sankirtana

Which cleanses the heart of all dust

Accumulated for many years

The layers of anger, greed and lust

It extinguishes the fire of conditioned life

Of repeated birth and death

It spreads the rays of Caitanya’s moon

Of benedictions it’s the best

It’s the life of all transcendental truths

The ocean of spiritual bliss

It enables us to fully taste

The nectar we all miss

There is so much suffering out there

What can you do to help?

Just giving them material things

Can’t change the hand they’ve been dealt

What is the highest welfare work

Eternal benefit to the soul

Which you can offer to the world

That’s best for all, both young and old?

Lift up your voice, lift your arms, my friend

And raise them to the sky

Sing aloud the Holy Names

Surrender to Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai!

(Refrain)

Hare Krsna Hare Krsna

Krsna Krsna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare
