Radha Raman Sab Cheeni |Radharaman Prakatyotsav 2023 | Naina Milai Ke | Chhap Tilak | Bhajan

Hare Krishna
Sri Radharaman Lal ki Jay
Our Best wishes to all the devotees of Radharaman on His appearance Day.

Traditionally written by Amir Khusroo, Chap tilak is a popular sufi song, which is also sung by Devotees in Vedic Bhakti system for their Lord. Here in this version attempted by us, by the grace of Sri Radharaman , the essence is , that Radharaman has taken all that we thought belonged to us, most importantly our heart, and has given His chaap on us, and His tilak on our foreheads. So we sang Chap tilak mohe deeni(gave), and not cheeni(took away - hinting more at some islamic conversion). Hope the listeners are not offended by this modification and understand the mood behind it.

Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, a disciple of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, once visited River Gandaki in Nepal and while taking bath he found Salagramas in his water pot. Gopala Bhatta Gosvami removed the Salagrama and collected water again but repeatedly he noticed the same set of Salagramas in his pot. Thinking it to be some divine decision, Gopala Bhattaji took the Salagrama and worshipped it at Vrindavan.

Once during Narasimha Jayanti, a devotee wanted to offer gold and dress to the deity. Gopala Bhatta Gosvami asked the devotee to offer to some deity as his was only a Shaligram Shila.

Being a Narasimha Chaturdashi day, Gopala Bhattaji thought how Lord Nrsimha had manifested from a stone and prayed before the Shaligram Shila for a full form of he deity. Next day morning the divine soul found that one of the Shaligram Shila had manifested into the idol of Radha Raman.

Special abhisheka is performed on the Radha Raman idol on Radha Raman Jayanthi with water from Yamuna River, ghee, milk, yoghurt, honey, sugar and herbs.
