Song of the week ending 7, Mar 2008

Jaya jaya aarathi rama tumhaari

We praise you O Rama and take your arathi

Peetha vasana vaijayanthi maala
Shyaama varna tanu naina vishaala

Wearing Yellow dress and beautiful necklace
Your body has blue complexion and big beautiful eyes

Sheera mukuta kara shaantha sohe
Seetha ramanaa raghu mana mohe
Naarada shaarada mangala gaave
Hari hari he guna raaja gambhira

You have a crown on your head and keeping your hands very calm (composed)
You are the one who lives in the heart of Sita, attracted Sita and are in the Raghu kula
Narada and others always sing your praises
Praise you O Hari who are the bold King with all auspicious qualities

Shatrughana ho jaya lakshmana bhaaratha
Aarathi kare kausalyaa maata
Sammukh charan khade hanu veera
Hari hari he guna raaja gambhira

Shatrughana, Lakshmana and Bharatha praise you
Kausalya mother takes your arathi
Standing nearby and falling at your feet is the brave Hanuman
Praise you O Hari who are the bold King with all auspicious qualities

Sri rama jaya rama jaya jaya rama
Jagadadi raama jagadeka raama jaanaki raama

We sing praises of you O Rama who are the Lord of the world, the only reality in the world and husband of Sita

This is a song set in Abheri Raga (also known as Bhimpalasi). It praises the great avatara of Vishnu, Sri Rama. Sarvam ramathe ithi Rama - one who attracts everyone is called Rama. The one thing that attracts everybody in the world is the Self (blissful Consciousness). Thus Rama signifies the Self. This song is sung beautifully by Swami Amritaatmaananda Puri (one of the senior sanyaasi disciples of AMMA). His singing is so beautiful and touching. :)My singing is nowhere near it yet this song is just an offering to the devotees of AMMA. The song has been recorded in my voice which can be found here. Please bear the noise, disturbance and awful singing as am not a singer.
