Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram Ram Naraynam Janaki Vallabham (These are all the various names/forms of Bhagwan Vishnu)
I worship the one who is incapable of making any mistakes (Achyutam), who killed the demon Keshi (Keshavam),
the one tied by Mother Yashoda around the waist (Damodaram), the incarnation of Narayana as Ram and the beloved of Janaki (Sita)
Kaun Kehte Hai Bhagwan Aate Nahi
Tum Meera Ke Jaise Bulate Nahi
Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram
Ram Naraynam Janaki Vallabham
Who says that God (Bhagwan) isn’t near us?
You don’t call Him like Meera bai
(Mirabais love and devotion are well known and Lord Krishna always visits the devotee when they call Him so lovingly and with such purity)
Kaun Kehte Hai Bhagwan Khate Nahi Ber Shabri Ke Jaise Khilate Nahi
Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram
Ram Naraynam Janaki Vallabham
Who says that God (Bhagwan) doesn’t eat what we offer as prashad? We don’t offer the forest fruit like Shabri did (Shabri lived in the forest and would collect the best berries everyday in the hope that one day Lord Rama would visit)
Kaun Kehte Hai Bhagwan Sote Nahi Maa Yashodha Ke Jaise Sulate Nahi Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram
Ram Naraynam Janaki Vallabham
Who says that God does not sleep?
Is it because we don’t rock him to sleep like Mother Yashoda
Kaun Kehte Hai Bhagwan Nachte Nahi Gopiyo ki Tarah hum Nachate Nahi Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram
Ram Naraynam Janaki Vallabham
Who says that God doesn’t dance with joy?
We don’t call him to dance like the loving Gopis
(Next bit is optional)
Naam Japate Chalo Kaam Karte Chalo Har Samay Krishna Ka Dhyaan Karte Chalo
While walking and working, at every moment keep chanting the Lord’s name
Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram, Ram Naraynam Janaki Vallabham These are all the various names of Bhagwan Vishnu
Yaad Aayegi Unko Kabhi Na Kabhi Krishan Darshan To Denge Kabhi Na Kabhi
He will come and visit and give us His Darshan
Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram Ram Naraynam Janaki Vallabham
