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
More pranpriye krishna
More pyare girdhari,
Darsh do mohe 
More pran chhootat jat

Main neech nirbal prani 
Chahta jana chhodd duniya ka sath
Darsh do mohe 
More pran chhootat jat

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

Karm ki gathariya ho gayi bhari 
Karo mera uddhar
Darsh do mohe 
More pran chhootat jat

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
