Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram Ram Naraynam Janaki Vallabham These are all the various names of Bhagwan Vishnu
Kaun Kehte Hai Bhagwan Aate Nahi
Tum/Hum Meera Ke Jaise Bulate Nahi
Achyutam Keshavam …
Who says that God (Bhagwan) isn't near us?
We don't call Him like Meera (Mirabais love and devotion are well known and Lord Krishna always visits the devotee when they call Him so lovingly and with such purity)
Kaun Kehte Hai Bhagwan Khate Nahi Ber Shabri Ke Jaise Khilate Nahi
Achyutam Keshavam …
Who says that God (Bhagwan) doesn't eat what we offer as prashad? We don't offer prashad like Shabri did (Shabri lived in the forest and would collect the best berries everyday in the hope that one day Lord Rama would visit)
Kaun Kehte Hai Bhagwan Sote Nahi Maa Yashodha Ke Jaise Sulate Nahi Achyutam Keshavam …
Who says that God does not sleep?
Is it because we don't rock him to sleep like Mother Yashoda
Kaun Kehte Hai Bhagwan Nachte Nahi Gopiyo ki Tarah hum Nachate Nahi Achyutam Keshavam …
Who says that God doesn't dance with joy?
We don't call him to dance like the loving Gopis
(Next bit is optional)
Naam Japate Chalo Kaam Karte Chalo Har Samay Krishna Ka Dhyaan Karte Chalo
While walking and working, at every moment keep chanting the Lord's name
