Naranada Mele Harinama | ನರನಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹರಿನಾಮ

📜 Original Kannada Lyrics:

ನರನಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹರಿನಾಮ ಜಿಹ್ವೆಯೊಳಿರಬೇಕು

ಭೂತದಯಾಪರನಾಗಿರಬೇಕು

ಪಾತಕವೆಲ್ಲ ಕಳೆಯಲಿಬೇಕು

ಮಾತು ಮಾತಿಗೆ ಹರಿಯೆನ್ನಬೇಕು ||1||

 

ಶಾಂತಿ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ದಯೆ ಪಿಡಿಯಲಿಬೇಕು

ಭ್ರಾಂತಿ ಕ್ರೋಧವ ಕಳೆಯಲಿಬೇಕು

ಶಾಂತರ ಸಂಗದೊಳಿರಬೇಕು ||2||

 

ತಂದೆ ಕೃಷ್ಣನ ದಯೆ ಪಡೆಯಬೇಕು

ಬಂದದ್ದುಂಡು ಸುಖಿಸಲಿಬೇಕು

ತಂದೆ ಪುರಂದರವಿಠಲ ಎನಬೇಕು ||3||

ಕೃತಿ: ಶ್ರೀ ಪುರಂದರದಾಸರು

 

🔤 English Transliteration:

Naranaada mele Harinaama jihveyolirabeku

Bhootadayaaparanagirabeku

Paatakavella kaleyalibeku

Maatu maatige Hari ennabeku ||1||

 

Shaanti kshame daye pidiyalibeku

Bhraanti krodhava kaleyalibeku

Shaantara sangadolirabeku ||2||

 

Tande Krishnana daya padeyabeku

Bandaddundu sukhisalibeku

Tande Purandara Vitthala ennabeku ||3||

🌸 English Meaning:

Once born as a human, the name of Hari should live on the tongue.

One should be filled with compassion for all beings,

Cleanse every trace of sin,

And in every conversation, invoke the name of Hari. ||1||

 

Embrace peace, forgiveness, and kindness,

Let go of delusion and anger,

And dwell in the company of the calm and noble. ||2||

 

Seek the grace of Father Krishna,

Rejoice in what is received,

And lovingly call Him — Father Purandara Vitthala. ||3||

🪔Reflections

This beautiful song from Parandaradasaru gives us a simple and powerful message—how to live a meaningful human life. It reminds us that taking God’s name should be part of our daily breath, that kindness, forgiveness, and truth must guide our actions. We are encouraged to let go of pride, anger, and ego, and instead stay close to peace, good company, and the teachings of our Guru.

Every verse is like gentle advice from a wise friend—stay content, treat praise and blame equally, and always remember the Lord with love. The song ends by placing everything in the hands of Purandara Vittala, not just as a deity, but lovingly as our own father. It’s not just a song to sing, but one to live by.
