ನಂದ ತನಯ ಗೋವಿಂದನ | Nanda Tanaya Govindana


📜 Original Kannada Lyrics:

ಉಗಾಭೋಗ:

ಜಗವ ಸುತ್ತಿಹುದೆಲ್ಲ ನಿನ್ನ ಮಾಯವಯ್ಯ , ನಿನ್ನ ಸುತ್ತಿಹುದೆಲ್ಲ ಎನ್ನ ಮನವಯ್ಯ
ಜಗಕೆ ಬಲ್ಲಿದ ನೀನು , ನಿನಗೆ ಬಲ್ಲಿದ ನಾನು
ಮೂರು ಜಗವು ನಿನ್ನೊಳಗೆ , ನೀನು ನನ್ನೊಳಗೆ
ಕರಿಯು ಕನ್ನಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಗಿಪ್ಪ ತೆರನಂತೆ
ಎನ್ನೊಳು ಅಡಗಿದೆಯೊ ಪುರಂದರವಿಠಲ ||

ನಂದ ತನಯ ಗೋವಿಂದನ ಭಜಿಪುದು ಆನಂದವಾದ ಮಿಠಾಯಿ ||ಪ||

ಬಂಧಗಳನು ಭವ ರೋಗಗಳೆಲ್ಲನು ನಿಂದಿಪುದು ಈ ಮಿಠಾಯಿ ||ಅ.ಪ||

ದಧಿ ಘೃತ ಕ್ಷೀರಂಗಳಿಗಿಂತಲೂ ಬಹು ಅಧಿಕವಾದ ಮಿಠಾಯಿ
ಕದಳೀ ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಿ ಖರ್ಜೂರ ರಸಗಳನು ಮೀರುವುದು ಈ ಮಿಠಾಯಿ ||೧||

ಪಂಚ ಭಕ್ಷ್ಯಂಗಳ ಷಡ್ರಸಾನ್ನಗಳ ಮಿಂಚಿದಂಥ ಮಿಠಾಯಿ
ಕಂಚೀಶನೆ ರಕ್ಷಿಸು ಎಂದುಸಿರುವರ ಅಂಜಿಕೆ ಬಿಡಿಪ ಮಿಠಾಯಿ ||೨||

ಜಪ ತಪ ಸಾಧನಗಳಿಗಿಂತಲೂ ಬಹು ಅಪರೂಪದ ಮಿಠಾಯಿ
ಜಿಪುಣ ಮತಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಧ್ಯವಲ್ಲದಿಹ ಪುರಂದರ ವಿಠಲ ಮಿಠಾಯಿ ||೩||

ಕೃತಿ – ಶ್ರೀ ಪುರಂದರದಾಸರು


🔤 English Transliteration:

Ugabhoga:

Jagava suttihudella ninna mayavayya , ninna suttihudella enna manavayya
Jagake ballida ninu , ninage ballida nanu
Muru jagavu ninnolage , ninu nannolage
Kariyu kannadiyalli adagippa teranante
Ennolu adagideyo purandara vittala||

Nanda Tanaya Govindana Bhajipudu Aanandavaada Mithayi ||P||

Bandhagalanu Bhava Rogagalu Ellanu Nindipudu Ee Mithayi ||A.P||

Dadhi Ghrita Ksheerangaligintalu Bahu Adhikavaada Mithayi
Kadalī Drakshi Kharjoora Rasagalanu Meeruvudu Ee Mithayi ||1||

Pancha Bhakshyangala Shadrasannagala Minchidantaha Mithayi
Kancheeshane Rakshisu Endu Siruvara Anjike Bidipa Mithayi ||2||

Japa Tapa Sadhanagaligintalu Bahu Aparoopa Mithayi
Jipuna Matigalige Sadhyavalladihi Purandara Vittala Mithayi ||3||

Lyrics – Sri Purandaradasaru



🌸 English Meaning:

Chanting the name of Govinda, son of Nanda, is the sweetest delight! ||P||
This divine sweetness destroys all worldly bonds and cures the disease of birth and death. ||A.P||

This sweetness surpasses curd, ghee, and milk;
it is richer than the taste of banana, grape, or date juice. ||1||

Sweeter than the five delicacies and six-flavored feasts,
this is the sweetness that frees those who seek Lord Kanchishana’s protection. ||2||

Rarer than all penance and meditation,
this sweet nectar of Purandara Vittala is beyond the grasp of clever minds. ||3||


🪔 Reflection:

Saint Purandaradasa, revered as the Pitamaha (grandfather) of Carnatic music, composed this bhajan to describe the spiritual “sweetness” (mithayi) of divine devotion. Here, the sweetness isn’t sugar or taste—it’s ananda, the bliss that comes when the heart delights in God’s name. Every stanza contrasts worldly pleasures—food, luxury, intellect—with the incomparable joy of remembering Govinda.

Purandaradasa’s poetry often transforms everyday metaphors into doorways to spiritual understanding. Food, sweetness, and taste here symbolize rasa—the essence of divine experience. The bhajan teaches that devotion, once tasted, makes every worldly flavor pale in comparison.

How does this apply to your daily life? When was the last time you savored the sweetness of silence, prayer, or gratitude? The world offers many mithayis—temporary, glittering, delicious—but only the remembrance of the Divine nourishes the soul eternally.

What are the learnings from this article? That spiritual joy is not earned through complex rituals or dry intellect; it blossoms naturally when love for the Divine fills one’s heart. This song reminds us to find sweetness not in what we consume—but in what we contemplate. Vittala’s name, sung with love, becomes life’s purest mithayi. 🍬🙏
