Sri Gurvastakam

[NaliaDeArnise]

Pronounced right or wrong, that was beautiful! :)

[pritu91]

dude u r real rockstar.. i watched ur other videos too n u simply rock!!

[abhishek20885]

Bravo man..Loved it coz I do understand too!!

[blackangel4321]

very nice... hare krsna...

[Bombeni]

Hairy Krispy!!! For u young stupid kids out there, the leader of the cult named Prabapoopoo had followers steal, murder, rape, in order to help him build his empire, which eventually crumbled as all cults do. The hundreds of young kids and babies born to the drugged up hippies who joined, were left to take care of themselves in filty, stinking shacks for days at a time while their moms went on the road for days/weeks at a time to run scams on decent people all around the world.

[govindasboy]

ISKCON, Prabhupadas empire, continues to flourish and grow-testament to His transcedental greatness. You however, by choosing to ridicule what you dont know, are simply stagnating in your own ignorance. Why not enquire and maybe learn something. Hare Krsna!

[Bombeni]

That is where you are wrong, I HAVE studied ISKCON, it's history to present day, as well as other cults as part of a post-grad thesis. I can assure you I know more about the cult in my little finger than you will ever know in your entire body. IT IS A CULT, for losers who don't want to work and contribute to society. The founders were the worst possible criminals. Need to know more just ask.

[khandieyea]

you are incorrect

[5555england5555]

@Bombeni Yeah, I have a question, do you live in a cave or are you just naturally a judge mental materialistic robot?

[Manireltis]

Music's good good!

And you'r kind of cute :p hehe Keep rocking!

[minupuppy]

wow have you learned all of these songs? (notice i didnt say memorized...)

[LeoHareMusic]

This is like if The Cure were Vaishnavas...and that's not bad :-)

[LilaTequila420x]

Hare Krsna!

[premachu2]

your the coolest white boy alive.

[eliamaria]

[BunchofMovieVideos]

[miroscepko]

Namaskar prabhu! You are making devotees!!!! Keep up with the preaching mission and your creative spirit for young people is par-excellence!! I love you Ben! Hari bol!!

[miroscepko]

Namaskar prabhu! You are making devotees!!!! Keep up with the preaching mission and your crietive spirit for young people is par-exellence!! I love you Ben!

[AmethystDreaming]

what a lovely tune!!

[veltonvelton]

wow i right want to learn this :D

what are the chords you use? I can learn it and show my Ben Loka Fan Friend Gemma, she'd love it!

[mooshie21]

Benloka ki jaya!!! :D

This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing. I get this confused with Sri Damodarastakam, but reading the English I remember it was the first Sanskrit prayer I ever saw. :)

[dany10008]

stop with this song, nobody want lisent it you gallina loca,your cult is more stupit,

[MandyB451985]

i would suggest that over 6 and a half thousand views suggest that people do want to listen to it. i mean you even stopped by, you must have wanted to listen or why else would you have bothered watching. interesting.

[haridham]

oh boy dany1008 spreads his ignorant ramblings on this channel as well. In one channel he claims to be a sankrit scholar and when he was challenged he hid his tail and ran. FOOL!

[Stevefriend13]

QUE MALA VIBRA LA TUYA...respect...

[atomkaht]

well, apparently you stopped by to listen to his rambling.

[gothdoll88]

You have a lovely voice!!!

[SilentRobbin]

Im not quite shure what it says, ill google whta it means but any way, he is a good singer!

[clashloverben]

[MCRjunkie987]

This is absolutely beautiful.

Just, amazing.

[Sandman3737]

Awesome Ben.

[MissLaurenHan]

wow that was nice!

[VedicSastra]

TRANSLATION

1) The spiritual master is receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy. Just as a cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master delivers the materially afflicted world by extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is an ocean of auspicious qualities...

[VedicSastra]

2) Chanting the holy name, dancing in ecstasy, singing, and playing musical instruments, the spiritual master is always gladdened by the sańkīrtana movement of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Because he is relishing the mellows of pure devotion within his mind, sometimes his hair stands on end, he feels quivering in his body, and tears flow from his eyes like waves. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

[VedicSastra]

3) The spiritual master is always engaged in the temple worship of Srī Srī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. He also engages his disciples in such worship. They dress the Deities in beautiful clothes and ornaments, clean Their temple, and perform other similar worship of the Lord. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

LOVE IT, SUCH A WICKED TUNE TOO!

[KattyTee]

Awesomeness at it's finest.

[VivaLaFranceFilm]

[ZFroggirl]

wow, you have a fantastic voice and range

[popsita]

[musicalcharms]

i really liked those chord progressions. music somewhat made me think of harry potter tho. like i was listening to some eery spell. a beautiful, dizzying, eery spell.

yeahhhhhhh....

[Wolfie129]

Ben, you are a man of unsuspected depth. I love every video you grace us with. Some are fall-down hilarious and some are so touching. This is the latter. I love your spirit. I love your sense of humor. I love your presence. 5 Star rating.

[lsisaml]

translation plz??

[lnthebackrow]

Very cool

[bootsole]

Ben another quality bit of drivel keep them coming , great talent......but you should open a side show for your female fans, reading the comments they can crush coke cans with their tits while getting banged by two men at once........well its a talent.

All the best

Marc

[medicinesocks]

beautiful, ben.

[slashthegreen]

nice song, must have been very hard to sing, sanskrit is not easy to speak, let alone sing!

[pemboblog]

sounds like serj

[katix17]

haha seriously, but benloka is easier on the eyes XD

[sannayy]

tankian? because i can't really hear that.

[LostLove03]

Within this fire of world existence The gurus mercy falls like a cool rain drawn from the Lord to extinguish all our pain To his auspicious feet I pay obeisance In divine bliss he trembles chants and dances With streams of tears and instruments in hand Enthused by Lord Chaitanyas sankirtan To his auspicious feet I pay obeisance Eager to hear of Radha Krishna romance and ever speak of their supreme splendour Aspiring to be in this always absorbed To his auspicious feet I pay obeisance

[medicinesocks]

thanks

[LostLove03]

youre welcome

[SimplyKell]

Brilliance.

[rmonga15]

yea its hindi and kunskrit but he pronounced most of the words wrong so you couldnt tell

[BenLoka]

Sorry for pronouncing the kunskrit words wrong, you must hate me

[indomate69]

Its really nice to see that you made the effort to pronounce everything right. I think, accent apart, it was great. Keep it up!

[carmadillotanzen]

Beautiful.

[annax743]

the name sounds indian so ithink its hindi

[boulderingrocks]

wow... YOU CAN SING TOO!!!

[NicoleOlle]

yea sorry for my uneducatedness :/ but un ...translaton of this beatiful peice would be awesome :] and what language is it in anyways??

[uninitiated]

It's Hindi. And some Sanskrit, but his pronunciation is all weird.

[NicoleOlle]

ohh thanks so much :]] <3

[NicoleOlle]

ohh thanks so much :]] <3

[systemscrash]

Amazing... you gave me chills

[Johnak4715anos]

Man... you like dissonant chords, don't you? =D

[ReliableInsider]

I thought the little Citi Card credit cards appearing one by one in the overlay ad were "so appropriate". LOL What a funny old world.

[xxaoife]

that was really cool! :D

[wormglooow]

you have a great voice!

[beeburt]

what the heck are you singing?!

[0x0Nobody0x0]

Man.. I never knew you people were so uninformed.

It's a Sanskrit Shloka...

Jeez..

[jingachi3000000]

It's probably a chant from the Krishna-Consicious religion.

[LoveTheRock526]

It's a Hindu prayer.

[bryanh999]

Pretty cool but a translation would be sweet.

[YouveStolenMyEyes]

awesome dude

[cherrycakesbaybee]

Can you translate this please?

Cherry xxx

[iRock71]

that was cool!

it sounds like a Jewish song, are u Jewish?

if so, w00t! go BenLoka!

[misterstogy]

eh? It's not Hebrew - it's more like Hindi!

[0x0Nobody0x0]

It's in Sanskrit...

[djdinsey]

very nice and relaxing, i like it.

[djdinsey]

very nice and relaxing, i like it.

[69oohyeah69]

At 00:18 it reminds me of queen. This is simple but good to listen to, you should upload more music.

[spazpod]

I've said it before Ben. When's your CD comign out?

[nanamigurung]

Om Shiva.Jai guru Ganesha.What you are singing ,in our country it is called `BHAJAN`.

[SheepyBeepy]

You have a really great singing voice :D

This sounds very nifty!

[gerbilplay4]

Fab! Your brilliant!

[zEROdot79]

this song is really good, what does it mean?

[TheSaraBeth]

Gawgeous.

[TheSaraBeth]

Gawgeous.

[adam2654]

Surprisingly better than expected.  Greaet Job!

[crackers3071]

Who says you need words to make a nice sound?

You got a good singing voice

[rnb8220]

another great musical concoction.

Just curious, when did u become interested in the Hari Krishna philosophy/religion?

I'm just being cautious with the religion + philosophy terminology because some people are particular about it.

[fatlulu10]

very nice

[Lokust007]

hard core! rock on!

[sofoe]

thats so beautiful it makes me smile without even trying

[colormekristen]

I always love these!

[gaura]

thumbs up!!!

[simplydaft]

Lovely :) Translation, please?

[doubledutchdisco]

this is amazing. i love it.

[SimplyKell]

So beautiful, Ben.

[deathmakesitgiggle]

Beautiful^_^

[nsgmusic]

namaste

[VivIsNotASquib]

this is very beautiful

[GarTT22]

this is beautiful

[ElionaZale]

ooooooo so interesting Mr. Loka

[em12321]

you just like the words because it has "loka" in it.

what does it mean?

[ThinkFastBoom93]

lmao i was thinking the same... loka lol

[lanabobana3]

Ben, you are a god.

<3

[goodnightlila]

this is so beautiful

and so are you as a person

[garycuk]

You couldn't make upstaged, and now this...Govinda was one thing but was too weird even for you. Whatever happened to the fun vlogs and social commentary? x

[tam155]

i agree

[garycuk]

Thumbs down for stating the obvious, I see. Well in that case, do a Madonna, destroy the support you've earned and keep the religious videos coming. Gaygod did it with the "vegan thing" and people got bored. Why can't you just post more material like the stuff that got us to subscribe in the first place. A simple social commentay is enough e.g. The facebook video. Sorry to be so harsh, but as one of my faves I feel like you're not doing yourself justice. x

[PirateSpoonCola]

You're so COOL!

[diginote]

you've got a wonderful voice~ 5'd

[applepie32802]

The setting looks so artistic... this song makes me contented

[dramaddy]

are you singing or trying to steel my soul? ^-^ just kidding... I don't speak pig latin.. wait what? >_>

[gdalmighty]

it feels like you've cursed and that we are all gonna die. but i still like the video nice job

[irbananaking]

????

[zendulo]

You are wonderful! I haven't been moved by music in this way since Life Aquatic introduced me to Portuguese David Bowie covers. Thank you!

[candycanedeqa]

your really amazing :]

very talented and i love you <333 lol

at one point i wondered if that was really a language... im googleing as of now lol

[lyraAi]

*sighs happily* i love it when you sing.

oviously this isnt original but do you write your own stuff.coz id love to hear it if you do.

[balancee]

It sounded nice but I have no idea what you were saying :(

[IamWasabi]

This makes me feel safe for some reason...

[rebeccaproductions]

lovely stuff... <3

[marcoismymarco]

lovely

[tam155]

I'm a clinical psychologist i'm all for individuality, i'm also a scientist so i don't favour pseudo-religious nonsense. Don't get me wrong i enjoy his other comedy vdeos, he's an intelligent boy.:)

[lyraAi]

and what does that have to do with anything?

[panicdriven]

lol it was kinda awkward listening to you sing this but..still......

im not an expertise on any of this but this is a prayer/mantra that hindu people (people from india/sri lanka) sing ...to one of the hindu gods..i believe.

[JadeyChi]

It would be nice to see the translation for the words maybe? Is it a classic Hindu prayer to haunting music?

I like the melody though, it's cool.

[emochild376]

that was lovely

:]

[Epiphanized]

Receiving benediction ey?

you just liked it because it had Loka in it..!

haha jokes, nice voice =)

[wakep12]

By the way Benloka:

Do you know that in spanish "loka" means "crazy woman"?

...well, is with "C" but is still very funny...

[karlaordonez]

you're a good singer. i liked it.

what language is this in??

[supermanzz2]

sanskrit

[wakep12]

HA! That joke was very funny!

[evilbrainproductions]

cake

[xXJeenzXx]

That was.... strange.

I liked it [=

[tam155]

I hate it when he does this psuedo-religious stuff, observational humour is his strong point i think it best he stays there. Like his other videos though not trying to be a hater!:)

[muffinbanana]

but if he wants to do this, he will do this... I think you'll have to accept that he can have his own character ^.^

[moonyandjack]

ummm what language is this?like hinduish?

[SancWaltz]

Wtf?

[RosssFrazer]

BEN THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING VIDEO EVER!!!!!

This had the biggest affect on me, I don't know how though!

Is there any way I can download your music?

[czechdominicka]

I´m also interested in translation...very lovable song anyway:)

[femmussolini]

you kinda looked like casey affleck when you were starring at the camera

[krazykizza]

Wow! favourited!!!!

[malinarana]

Beautiful.

[ChucklesMginty]

You're very multi-talented :D try singing whilst riding pogo stick.

[lunaticaution]

It sounds amazing! it's such a relaxing song :)

[lainieinsaney]

this is so beautiful, even if i can't understand it.

five stahs, babes(which i say in a totally unperverted way...<3)

[rainbowmonochrome]

pretty...but i don[t speak sanskrit (that's what language this is in right? everyone keeps saying....) anyone care to do a rough translation?

[Superblob27]

This is really amazing, way to go. Is there a loose translation that you could put up, maybe?

[magicishaq]

lol sounding nice

[erahoneybee]

this is a whole other side of you benloka. i like both a whole lot! :)

[DolliieLegs]

great song lool

x

[mimimirwitch]

samsara means wheel of life right?

[GreyAutumn]

And for all the people asking: this is sanskrit, not "gobbledegook" as one person said.

Anyways, good job, Loka! Good job...

[paisleypower30]

very pretty :)

[Suuuuuun]

FIRST COMMENT!!!!!!!!!

Joke xD

[RockinSk8in]

great! well done again Ben, keep it up. =]

[Greenteabook]

Whenever you make a video my day automatically becomes better. Thanx!

[DanAndRos]

Awesome!!! You look good in the black-and-white thing going on :)

[jon1467]

not a bad song! But is this a language or is it just gobbledegook?

[GreyAutumn]

It's sanskrit
