SCSMission Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Mission Bhakti Yoga Kirtan Center

Here we practice the ideals of Bhakti Yoga The Sanskrit word ‘Yoga’ means ‘union’ or ‘connection’.

SCSMission represents the ideals of Bhakti Yoga Practice taught in the ancient devotional Scriptures of India. It is the Salt Lake City branch of the multi-national Bhakti Yoga Society, Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, which has its headquarters in West Bengal, India. Our goal is to practice and serve according to the teachings and ideals of the very ancient disciplic Line of Bhakti Yoga Gurus, known as Guru Parampara. The goal of all yoga is to form a loving relationship with the Absolute Reality, who is the embodiment of all sweetness, beauty, joy and love, and the center of all eternal relationships. Bhakti Yoga is the Yoga of the heart, or the Yoga of our eternal devotion, and is thus concerned with the internal development of spirit. We invite you all to join us for any or all of our free joyful weekly Programs!

"Have we spent our lives uselessly?" — A deep dive into the heart of Narottama Dasa Thakura’s Iṣṭa-deve Vijñapti.

https://youtu.be/wGBZdyON7tE?si=b51mAud29aUnEsX6

This profound kirtan, known as Ishta-deve Vijnapti, was composed by the great saint Narottama Dasa Thakura. It is a raw and honest expression of a heart awakening to the true purpose of life. Watch this beautiful prayer of the soul and find your moment of sincere connection. 🌸👇

Bengali poem & English translation:

Śrīla Narottam dās Ṭhākur
Iṣṭa-deve Vijñapti


hari hari! biphole janama goyāinu
manuṣya-janama pāiyā, rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā bhajiyā,
jāniyā śuniyā biṣa khāinu

(1) Oh Lord Hari, I have spent my life uselessly. Having obtained a human birth and having not worshipped Rādhā and Krishna, I have knowingly drunk poison.



golokera prema-dhana, harināma-saṅkīrttana,
rati nā janmilo keno tāya
saṁsāra-biṣānale, divā-niśi hiyā jvale,
juḍāite nā koinu upāya

(2) The treasure of divine love in Goloka Vṛndāvan has descended as the congregational chanting of the Lord’s Holy Names. Why did my attraction for that chanting never come about? Day and night my heart burns from the fire of the poison of worldliness, and I have not taken the means to relieve it.



brajendra-nandana jei, śachī-suta hoilo sei,
balarāma hoilo nitāi
dīna-hīna jata chilo, harināme udhārilo,
tāra śākṣī jagāi mādhāi

(3) Lord Kṛṣṇa, who is the son of the King of Braja, became the son of Śachī (Lord Chaitanya), and Balarām became Nitāi. The Holy Name delivered all those souls who were lowly and wretched. The two sinners Jagāi and Mādhāi are evidence of this.



hā hā prabhu nanda-suta, vṛṣabhānu-sutā-juta,
koruṇā koroho ei-bāro
narottama-dāsa koy, nā ṭheliho rāṅgā pāy,
tomā bine ke āche āmāra

(4) Oh Lord Krishna, son of Nanda, accompanied by the daughter of Vṛṣabhānu, please be merciful to me now. Narottam dās says, “O Lord, please do not push me away from Your reddish lotus feet, for who is my beloved except for You?”
