Avasya rakshibe Krsna

Here’s a soulful Bengali devotional song for you:

This track—“Tumi to Maribe Jare” (officially titled Avasya Raksibe Krsna Visvasa Palana Song 2)—is a devotional masterpiece penned by Bhaktivinoda Thakura, featured in his work Saranagati  .

About the Song

Title & Authorship

• Original Bengali title: Tumi to’ māribe jāre, ke tāre rākhite pāre…
• Written by the revered saint Bhaktivinoda Thakura  .

Meaning & Theme

• The song beautifully contemplates the omnipotence and grace of Lord Krishna. It asks, “Who could harm someone whom You wish to protect?” emphasizing the Lord’s sovereign control over life and death, and His role as the protector of devotees.
• It portrays cosmic elements—planets, gods, elements (wind, sun, moon)—all functioning according to His will, and the devotee’s safety being rooted in unwavering faith  .

Lyrics (Bengali and English Translation)

Here are key verses along with an English interpretation:

1. tumi to’ maribe jare, ke tāre rakhite pāre…
   Who can protect whom You wish to slay?
   The three worlds—Brahma and other gods—follow Your command.
2. tava ichchha-mote jata, graha-gana avirata…
   By Your will, all planets continuously bestow auspicious or inauspicious results.
3. tava bhoye vayu boy, candra surya samudoy…
   Wind blows, sun and moon follow their course, all under Your command.
4. bhakata-vatsala nama…
   You, whose name is Bhakta-Vatsala (protector of devotees), are the eternal Lord of Your devotees.
5. tomara carane natha…
   At Your lotus feet, Bhaktivinoda bows; he has faith—you will surely protect him in danger.
   

Why It Stands Out

• Deep Devotion: Every verse reflects a heartfelt surrender and trust in divine protection.
• Philosophical Depth: Blends cosmic scale with the intimate bond between deity and devotee.
• Timeless Appeal: Its message continues to resonate within devotional circles and bhakti traditions.
