Lyrics:
1. Bandhana Bandhana Bandhana
Bandhana bandhana bandhana
Krandana krandana krandana
Spandana spandana spandana
Ranjana ranjana ranjana
Syandana syandana syandana
Mohana mohana mohana
Translation:
Bondage, bondage, bondage!
Cry, cry, cry!
Thrill, thrill, thrill!
Delight, delight, delight!
Chariot, chariot, chariot!
Charm, charm, charm!
Eternity’s charm, Infinity’s Lustre.
– Sri Chinmoy, ‘Garden of Love-Light, part 1’ songbook
