Hōgabēḍa Hariyē–Devotee’s Plea at the Moment of Separation. Sri Purandaradasa.

This deeply moving composition by Purandaradāsa captures the anguish of devotees at the moment Lord Krishna departs from Mathurā, leaving behind those bound to Him by love and remembrance. Speaking in the voice of the people of Gokula—and by extension, every devotee—the song pleads with Hari not to go, asking how the heart can endure the pain of separation if He leaves without return. Recalling Krishna’s childhood līlās, His protection of the helpless, and His boundless compassion, the poet appeals to Him as the eternal refuge who never abandons those who surrender. The song stands as a poignant expression of viraha-bhakti—devotion intensified through separation—where longing itself becomes prayer and remembrance becomes life’s only sustenance.
