Since it is Ekadashi, I feel like I should share a bhajan. This one is one of my favourite Bhajans in Geeta Govinda, (written by Jayadeva Goswami) in glorification of Sri Krsna. Lord Chaitanya used to simply sit in His room in Jagannatha Puri and ask Ramananda Raya to recite the Geet Govinda while He experienced its emotions. The later songs of the book are way too confidential to be discussed publicly, but the first Bhajan (which acts to invite Lord Krsna into the heart) is so beautiful.

Perhaps this is an aarti from a film soundtrack, but knowing the context helps bring out the sweetness in the clips-
Aga Bai Arechya is a remake of the American film What Women Want.. we see the protagonist as he first is able to "hear" women's thoughts,
and finds himself more joyous and free in his heart.
One doesn't need to understand Marathi to enjoy!

I was listening to this on the way home from work and loved it! I was wondering the words, thank you for sharing them

Jaya Nitai!
Dandavat Pranam everyone. Everything is awesome here, preparing for the upcoming Nityananda Prabhu's appearance day on Thursday. Will pray for all of you. I have recently hearing the most beautiful pastimes of Lord Ramachandra. They are such sweet pastimes, and I think since Lord Rama was the marayada purushottama, this pastimes teach us so much about how to live our lives dharmically (in comparison to Sri Krsna, whom we shouldn't try and imitate ahahaha). I really like the below bhajan which summarizes Ramayana is song form. It was written by Ravindra Jain, who wrote many beautiful bhajans to Lord Rama and Krsna, and they have been a very dear part of my childhood (my attraction to the Lord was prob due to him). So I'll share it. It is spoken by Sukadeva Goswami to Pariksit Maharaj in Bhagavatam. Subtitles are there too.
The saddest part is when they are describing Lord Sita Rama leaving Ayodhya. It is very painful for all those in Ayodhya.
And then the epic part, when the Lord breaks the bow easily (when He was only supposed to string it).
And when Bharat carries the Lord's Sandals on his head, and for all those years Rama was in exile, the Sandals of the Lord sat on the thrones of Ayodhya.
And the last line is so beautiful:
kahe sune kitana hon koi
rama nidhi shesha na hoi
"No matter how many times one way speak and hear it, the storehouse of the pastimes of Lord Rama can never end"
