* For those who don't know - Sant TukArAm Maharaj was a 17th century saint from Maharashtra, India who made the nAma saNkirtan tradition resurface in the Varkaris - after DnyAneshwar and NAmdev. He composed numerous "abhangas" to Vitthal (KrushNa) and was influenced and blessed by Lord Chaitanya.

Hare KrushNa

The TukArAm of ISKCON - Loknath Maharaj, sings and explains an original Abhanga composed by TukArAm Maharaj : Govinda Govinda mana lAgaliyA chhanda
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3DD5qPYQDM&feature=related

The abhanga goes -
Govinda Govinda mana lAgaliyA chhanda - my mind is attracted/addicted to Govinda
Govinda dehaya bheda nahi kaya - no diff in KrushNa and His form
anandile mana preme pazarti lochana - my mind is filled with Anand and eyes with love, seeing His form...

Raag Bhairav - (to be sung early morning) Jago Mohan pyare
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNM392QwUaQ&feature=related

Wake up O beloved Mohan,
Whose dark complexioned face appeals to my mind
Waking up early at sunrise (bhAnu udaya bhaye),
The cowherd children (gwAl bAl) have come to the doorstep
Just for Your Darshan
Wake up NandaKishore ~
