Thanks to my better half she brought that CD Vrija Dham Mahima. Listening to Radhe Radhe Radhe Sri Radhe Radhe Radhe in morning is such a bliss outside this world. Yersterday was listen to some Bhajans by non-hindi, non-bangla speaking devotees who sang some of the Bangla vaishna geet by Bhakti Vinoda Thakur. I read it from Vaishnava songbook while listening as it was difficult to understand. Also read the meaning. It makes the listening more enjoyable.
Many people have strict rule to listen to authentic Vaishnava song, to me anything which contains name of Radha or Krishna or Rama is Bhajan.
When I was kid my mother used to play 33 rpm LP of Hari Om Sharan and sometimes Om Jaya Jagdish Hare sung by Mahendra Kapoor early morning while we were in sleep. I still remember those blissful line Tera Ram Ji karenge Beda par, Aarti Kunj Bihari Ki, Govind Jaya Jaya Gopal Jaya Jaya, Radha Raman Hari Govind Jaya Jaya.
Somehow although this life is full of ups and down at least because of my inclination to music I am able to listen to names of Lord through Bhajans always.

Quotes
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's order in Chaitanya Caritamrita was everyone should practice Krishna Consciousness and give it to everyone. Take up Krishna Consciousness and distribute it to everyone we meet.
*********************************************
A person acting in the service of Krsna with body, mind, intelligence and words is a liberated person even within the material world, although he may be engaged in many so-called material activities. (Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.2.187)
*********************************************
Pure devotional service can be attained only when it is uncontaminated with jnana and karma.
*********************************************
anasaktasya visayan
yatharham upayunjatah
nirbandhah krsna-sambandhe
yuktah vairagyam ucyate
prapancikataya buddhya
hari-sambandhi-vastunah
mumuksubhih parityago
vairagyah phalgu kathyate
When one is not attached to anything but at the same time accepts everything in relation to Krsna, one is rightly situated above possessiveness. On the other hand, one who rejects everything without knowledge of its relationship to Krsna is not as complete in his renunciation.
