Bara Bara Plan Kori

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has written a song ”Bara Bara plan Kori” and the Official Name for this song is ”Vrndavane Bhajana Section 7”. This song is taken from the book Gaudiya Patrika. Swami Bhaktivedanta says that people have a misconception that material happiness is true happiness. They keep on suffering in this anxiety without knowing the consequences. By the mercy of Govinda and spiritual master they get the nectar of devotion service. Once spiritual happiness is chosen over material happiness then you attain eternal peace and pure consciousness.

TRANSLATION

1) People make plans over and over again, and they get destroyed over and over again. Sometimes they fall on the ground, sometimes, they fall in the mud!

2) In the way, the souls are falling and wandering throughoutt the egg-shaped material of Brahma. By the mercy of spiritual master and Krsna, they receive the treasure of devotional service.

3) This treasure is acquired if one gives up other material treasures. One can easily cross over the material world with this treasure.

4) Beyond the ocean of material existence is multicolored with limitless pure consciousness. There is eternal peace and happiness where everyone is happily enjoying.
