Choti Si Kishori

In my opinion, a tear-invoking, heart-warming Bhajan, about a girl who is sweetly compared to Radha. A must-hear for all who love Bhajans! Jai Shri Krishna.

All righty, then. I've tried my best and posted the transliteration in the description area. I'll check to see time and again if I can come up with something better.

Haribol!

[theultimateotaku]

oh my god! You made a vieo with this song! I LOVE this bhajan! Thank you sooo much! I only wish I knew the translation for this...if you have it, could you post it up?

Beautiful video! That picture alone is exquisite.

[grizzerrr]

w, thank you so much. I did want to put the lyrics up, but was lazy. You give me an incentive to put up the lyrics, and I thank you for that; as also "Sorry Krsna, I won't be lazy in your matters again!" I'll start uploading the other Bhajans too, and add lyrics to this one as soon as I can. (The translation would be mine as I know of no one who has attempted to translate this in English. Pardon me for the poor job I might do.) Hare Krsna!

[grizzerrr]

Lol, thanks. I just google the images. Yes, it is difficult to top the first one. Hopefully I'll continue to give some more good ones. Jai Shri Krishna.
