Mama Mana Mandire

Lyrics: Mama Mana Mandire Raha Nisi-din

Author: Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Book Name: None

Language: Bengali

Raga: Pilu

This relatively well-known Bhaktivinoda Thakura bhajan sings about the temple installed in one’s heart. This is loosely based on Raga Pilu. This version is based off of the style Vaiyasaki prabhu sang in his 1994 album, “Charan Kamal.” While most styles of singing this song is very similar, there may be variations as to which of the following forms apply to which lines.

Please note, the second half of verse 4 “ha’be prema…” has the word ha’be starting off of FORM F where “eso” is italics. This means that “pre” syllable of “prema” will be on the first beat of FORM C.
