🌸 English Meaning

Pallavi
Govinda, You are the very embodiment of bliss.
All spiritual practices ultimately lead to Your divine joy.

Stanza 1
In every particle — from a tiny speck of dust to a blade of grass —
O Govinda, You alone exist in total completeness.
To remain in the purity of that truth is true joy.

Stanza 2
You are the cause of creation, preservation, and dissolution.
To understand even a trace of this vast glory
Is itself a profound experience of joy.

Stanza 3
The auspicious form of Purandara Vittala
Reveals joy by guiding His devotees without hesitation,
Lifting them with compassion and wisdom.


🪔 Reflection

Purandaradasa’s compositions often carry a rare balance — philosophical depth expressed through childlike simplicity. In this beautiful bhajan, he reminds us that ananda is not an emotion we chase, but the very fragrance of the Divine that permeates every particle of creation. By saying “from dust to grass, all is Govinda,” the saint gently dissolves the separation we imagine between the sacred and the ordinary. Govinda becomes the pulse running through creation, the witness behind change, and the joy beneath effort.

He also points toward a profound truth: understanding even a fraction of God’s glory fills the seeker with contentment. What if joy is not something to acquire but something to uncover? Which parts of our daily life already hold this hidden Govinda-ananda?

Purandaradasa closes with a tender assurance — that Vittala guides His devotees unstintingly. The moment we turn inward with sincerity, the Divine begins uplifting us in ways seen and unseen. This bhajan becomes a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the joy already present within.
