The Highest Spiritual Practice
Just to meet You, my Lord, we try countless ways
But nothing can compare with Your sweet name to say.
That is why we must repeat Your name each day
Shri Krishna! Govinda! Hare! Murare! . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The importance of the Lord's name, Yogi's soothsay
His best teaching for us is showing us this truth to say.
That is why we must repeat Your name each day
Shri Krishna! Govinda! Hare! Murare! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Shri Krishna's shelter as landlord to all purvey
By doing service for Him, our happiness will stay.
That is why we must repeat Your name each day
Shri Krishna! Govinda! Hare! Murare! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Established in God's feet, devotees desire to stay
The Master never refuses the words that His servant does portray.
That is why we must repeat Your name each day
Shri Krishna! Govinda! Hare! Murare! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Keep the string of love securely tied in every way.
The bondage of love keep strong, His servant to always stay.

Shri Krishna! Govinda! Hare! Murare! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Numerous lifetiimes of sins to burn to ash they may
The good actions of this life are sweet fruits the trees display
That is why we must repeat Your name each day
Shri Krishna! Govinda! Hare! Murare! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Over and over in the temple of our mind we pray
"Kripalu" with love, we welcome You this way.
That is why we must repeat Your name each day
Shri Krishna! Govinda! Hare! Murare! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Viniti Muniji spent many days with Leela in 1983 going over each bhajan with word for word translations and then explaining any grey areas. Later after returning to America Leela crafted these bhajans to fit the meaning and melodies.
