मुझे चढ़ गया राधा रंग रंग, मुझे चढ़ गया राधा रंग।
श्री राधा नाम का रंग रंग, श्री राधा नाम का रंग रंग॥
ऐसी कृपा बरसाई है, मुझे नाम की मस्ती छाई है।
मैं हो गया राधा रानी का, वृन्दावन की महारानी का।
अब करो न कोई तंग, मुझे चढ़ गया राधा रंग॥
श्री राधा रानी के चरणों में जो तेरा प्यार हो जाता,
तो इस भाव सिंदु से तेरा ये बेडा पार हो जाता।
पकड़ लेता चरण गर तू श्री राधा रानी के,
तो पागल, तुझको मेरे श्याम का दीदार हो जाता॥
मैं छोड़ चुका दुनिया सारी, अब नहीं किसी से है यारी।
कोई कहता है दीवाना हूँ, पागल हूँ मैं मस्ताना हूँ।
मैं हो गया मस्त मलंग, मुझे चढ़ गया राधा रंग॥
जय राधे राधे, राधे राधे।
वृन्दावन में, राधे राधे।
यमुना तट पे, राधे राधे।
वंसी वट पे, राधे राधे।
कुञ्ज गली में, राधे राधे।
बांके बिहारी, राधे राधे।
हमारी प्यारी, राधे राधे।
सब की प्यारी, राधे राधे।
प्यारी प्यारी, राधे राधे।
जय राधे राधे, राधे राधे॥

Legend associated to Vat Savitri Vrat has been told in this way:-
In
ancient times, a king called Ashvapati was very honest and holy person.
He was abundant with health, wealth and all comforts in life. But only
pain was that he had no any child. He wants his child and for this
purpose he was advised about a fast to delight Devi Savitri who could
accomplish his wish. Acknowledging that, he did very hard austerities
(tapsya) till 18 years. Noticing his strong devotions Devi Savitri came,
praised his divine devotions, and blessed him a girl-baby with name
'Savitri'. When this girl-baby got younger and reached the age of
marriage she herself started searching an ideal groom for her. And
finally she found her boy named 'Satyavan. But unfortunately, Satyavan
was only about to live for one more year according with his horoscope
prediction. But Savitri was very courageous and faithful to her partner.
She devotionally prayed to Yamraj-the lord of death- to bestow life to
Satyavan. And finally Yamraj was convinced by her and offered life to
his husband. Satyavan gave up his life under the Banyan tree and was
gifted his life on the same tree. This way this day became momentous
with name 'Vat Savitri Vrat'.
Odisha is famous for its different bratas and opasas (ସାବିତ୍ରୀ ଓଷା or ସାବିତ୍ରୀ ବ୍ରତ). Savitri brata is a very ancient and popular fasting day that is observed and celebrated by all married Hindu Odia women whose husbands are alive. Falling during the hot and humid month of Jyestha on an Amavasya or no moon day this is observed by the married or the sadhaba ladies with hearts full of dedication, prayers, vows, fasting and love for the long life of their spouse. This day the wife prays to Savitri who brought back her husband Satyavan from the jaws of death by her witty questions to Yama the Lord of death. The auspicious ingredients turmeric, vermillion, alta and red bangles known as Sankha have to be used which symbolises marriage. After doing puja they read a small booklet known as savitri brata katha which is also heard by other women who are fasting. Some women offer puja to the Silapua or the grinding stone.The grinding stone is thoroughly cleaned to which finely ground raw turmeric is applied to the silapua. It is given the form of Savitri with a face and decorated with kajal, vermillion and adorned with gold earrings, necklace and covered with a new saree . After the reading of the book bhoga is offered.

श्री राधा हमारी गोरी गोरी नवल किशोरी कन्हैया तेरो कारो है
श्री राधा हमारी गोरी गोरी, के नवल किशोरी, कन्हैया तेरो कारो है।
यो तो कालो नहीं है मतवारो, जगत उज्यारो, श्री राधा जी को प्यारो है॥
श्री श्यामा किशोरी,
गोरे मुख पे तिल बनेओ, ताहि करूँ मैं प्रणाम।
मानो चन्द्र बिछाई के पौढ़े सालगराम॥
राधे तू बडभागिनी, कौन तपस्या कीन,
तीन लोक का रणतरण वो तेरे आधीन॥
कीर्ति सुता के पग पग में प्रयागराज,
केशव की केलकुंज कोटि कोटि काशी है।
यमुना में जगनाथ रेणुका में रामेश्वर,
थर थर पे पड़े रहें अयोध्या के वासी हैं।
गोपीन के द्वार द्वार हरिद्वार वसत यहाँ,
बद्री केदारनाथ फिरत दास दासी हैं।
सवर्ग अपवर्ग सुख लेकर हम करें कहाँ,
जानते नहीं हम वृन्दावन वासी हैं॥
योगी जन जान पाते है ना जिस का प्रभाव,
जिस की कला का पार शारदा न पाती है।
नारद आदि ब्रहम वादीओ ने भी न पाया तत्व,
दिव्य दिव्य शक्तियां भी नित्य गुण गातीं हैं।
शंकर समाधी में ढुंढते हैं जिसको,
श्रुतियां भी नेति नेति कह हार जातीं हैं।
वो नाना रूप धारी विष्णु मोहन मुरारी,
उस विष्व के मदारी को गोपियाँ नाचतीं हैं॥
श्याम तन श्याम मन श्याम ही हमारो धन,
आठों याम उधो हमें श्याम ही सो काम है।
श्याम हिये श्याम जीय श्याम बिनु नहीं पिय,
अंधे की सी लाकडी आधार श्याम नाम है।
श्याम गति श्याम मति श्याम ही है प्रानपति,
श्याम सुखधाम सो भलाई आठो याम है।
उधो तुम भये भोरे पाती ले के आये दोड़े,
योग कहाँ राखें यहाँ रोम रोम श्याम है॥
गवार से राजकुमार भये, जब भानु के द्वार लो आन लगें हैं।
बंसरी की उभरी है कला, जब किरिती किशोरी के गाने लगें हैं।
राधिका के संग फेरे पड़े, तब से कहना इतराने लगें हैं॥
हमरी राधा की कौन करे होड़,
सुनो रे प्यारे नन्द गईया।
राधा हमारी भोरी भारी,
यो तो छलिया माखन चोर।
देखो तेरे कनुआ की छतरी पुराणी,
वा की छतरी की कीमत करोड़।
चार टके की तेरी कारी कमरिया,
या की चुनरी की कीमत करोड़।
देखो तेरे कनुआ को मुकुट झुको है,
हमरी राधा के चरनन की और।
ब्रजमंडल के कण कण में बसी तेरी ठकुराई।
कालिंदी की लहर लहर ने, तेरी महिमा गाई॥
पुलकत हो तेरा यश गावे, श्री गोवर्धन गिरिराई।
ले ले नाम तेरो मुरली में नाचे कुवर कहनाई॥

Sri Swami Sivananda speaks on "Message of Geeta(sivananda.61)
https://youtu.be/zrNR2sDanPQ
The Atma is not born nor does He ever die. He is unborn, eternal,
changeless, ancient and inexhaustible. He is not killed when the body is
killed. He slays not, nor is he slain.
A Sthitaprajna or
Jivanmukta is free from desires, longings, fears, mineness, 'I-ness' and
attachment. He is satisfied in his own self. He is indifferent amidst
sensual pleasures. He is not elated by getting desirable objects. He has
a poised mind at all times and under all conditions. He is centred in
his own self.
Work incessantly without egoism and without
expectation of fruits. Have a balanced mind in success and failure. You
will not be bound by Karmas or actions.
The senses move among
sense-objects. Seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, going,
sleeping, breathing, speaking, sneezing, opening and closing the eyes
are the functions or Dharmas of the organs only. In reality thou art the
silent witness of the activities of the senses and the modifications of
the mind. Prakriti or Svabhava does everything. The Atma is actionless
(Nishkriya). In essence, thou-art the Atma.
With the mind harmonised in Yoga, he who sees the Self in all beings and all beings in the Self sees the same everywhere.
He
who hates no creature, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who is
free from attachment and egoism, balanced in pleasure and pain,
forgiving, ever-content, steady in meditation, self-controlled,
possessed of firm conviction with mind and intellect dedicated to the
Lord, who neither rejoices nor hates, neither grieves nor desires, who
is full of devotion, who is the same to a foe and a friend in honour and
dishonour, who is the same in cold and heat, in pleasure and pain, who
is balanced in censure and praise, is a great devotee or Gunatita. He is
very dear to the Lord.
Doubtless the mind is fleeting like the
air, impetuous and restless. It is hard to be controlled. But by
practice (Abhyasa) and dispassion (Vairagya) it can be controlled.
Fix
your mind on the Lord. Become His devotee. Sacrifice everything unto
the Lord. Bow down to Him. Surely you will attain Him. Abandon the
fruits of all works. Take refuge in the Lord alone. He will liberate you
from all sins.
Wherever is Krishna, the Lord of Yoga; wherever is Partha, the archer; there is prosperity, victory, happiness and sound policy.

Master Sivananda discourses on the Katha Upanishad, particularly on the
teaching regarding the paths of Shreyas ("The Good") and Preyas ("The
Pleasant"). In essence, the path of Shreyas leads to Moksha, liberation,
while the path of Preyas keeps one continuing on the cycle of birth and
death (samsara).
