GoKirtan
Govinda Jaya Jaya
Mantra
गोविन्द जय जय गोपाल जय जय । राधारमण हरि गोविन्द जय जय ॥
govinda jaya jaya gopāla jaya jaya / rādhā-ramaṇa hari govinda jaya jaya
"Glory to Govinda, glory to Gopala, glory to Hari, the beloved of Radha!"
Meaning
A traditional kirtan of Krishna's names: Govinda — "the one who pleases the cows and the senses", Gopala — "protector of the cows", Radha-ramana — "the one who delights Radha." In Gaudiya understanding Krishna's name is non-different from Krishna Himself, so chanting the names is direct communion with God.
