Vaishnav Jan To Tene Kahiye - Dedicated To Mahatma Gandhi



Sarla sings " Vaishnav Jan To Tene Kahiye" and dedicates the same to Mahatma Gandhi (Bapu) on his Birthday October 2nd.

The 15th century poet Narsi Mehta was from the community of Nagar Brahmin also known as Narsi Bhagat from Junagadh.

The well known bhajan "Vaishnav Jan To" was a favorite hymn of Mahatma Gandhi.

This bhajan was also used in Richard Attenborough's movie "Gandhi"

Mahtam Gandhi's full name was Mohandas Karmchand Gandhi.

Born in Porbandar in 1869, raised in Rajkot,

He did his primary to high school in Rajkot.

One of his ideal and guru was Shri Raichandbhai Ravjibhai Mehta.

He was born in 1867 A. D. at Vavania Taluka Morbi in Saurashtra.

Almost same age as Gandhi but he was tirthkar.

Raichandbhai was the person who gave deep knowledge of religion to Gandhi.

If there was no Shri Raichand Bhai,there would not have been Mahtama Gandhi and if there was no Bapu,India would not have been free.

His influence stayed with him for rest of his life.

Thanks Dee . I know i can always count on you for any Information for songs.You are simply Encyclopedia filled with knowledge.

THE BHAJAN IS IN GUJARATI WHICH MAY NOT BE UNDERSTOOD BY MANY AND THEREFORE I AM POSTING BELOW THE LYRICS OF THE SAME WITH THE MEANINGS. THE LYRICS ARE IN GUJARATI WITH ENGLISH EXPLANATIONS.


વૈષ્ણવ જન તો તેને કહિયે, જે પીડ પરાયી જાણે રે

WaishNawa jan to tene kahiye, je peed paraayee jaNe re

He is the true Waishnawa who knows and feels another's woes as his own.

પર દુખ્ખે ઉપકાર કરે તોયે, મન અભિમાન ના આણે રે

Par dukkhe upkar kare toye, man abhiman na aaNe re

While he serves those who are suffering, he does not entertain pride in his mind about it.

....................................2 .....................................

સકળ લોક માન સહુને વંદે, નિંદા ન કરે કેની રે

SakaL lok maan sahune vande, nindaa na kare keni re

He respects everyone, and denounce nobody.

વાચ કાછ મન નિશ્છળ રાખે ધન ધન જનની તેની રે

Waach-kaachch-man nischaL raakhe, dhan dhan janani teni re

He keeps his speech, deeds, and thoughts pure; blessed is his mother.

....................................3...­.................................

સમદૃષ્ટિ ને તૃષ્ળા ત્યાગી પરસ્ત્રી જેને માત રે

Sam-drushti ne trishNaa tyaagi, parastree jene maat re

Viewing all equally, he rids himself of covetousness, and reveres every woman as though she were his mother.

જિહ્વા થકે અસત્ય ન બોલે પરધન નવ ઝાલે હાથ રે

Jihwaa thake, asatya na bole, par-dhan nava jhaale haath re

His tongue would fail him if he were to attempt to speak an untruth. He does not covet another person's wealth.
....................................4...­.................................

મોહ માયા વ્યાપે નહિ જેને દૃઢ વૈરાગ્ય જેના મન મા રે

Moh-maayaa wyaape nahin jene, draDh wairagya jena manmaa re

Material attachments do not occupy his mind, it being deeply rooted in renunciation.

રામ નામ શુ તાળી રે લાગી સકળ તીરથ તેના તન માં રે
Raam-naam shu taaLE laagi, sakaL teerath tena tanmaa re

Every moment he is intent on reciting the name of Rama. All the holy places are ever present in his body.

....................................5...­.................................

વણ લોભી ને કપટ રહિત છે કામ ક્રોધ નિવાર્યા રે

WaNa lobhi ne kapat rahit chhe, kaam krodh nivaarya re

He has conquered greed, deceit, lust, and anger.

ભણે નરસૈયો તેનો દર્શન કરતા કુળ એકોતેર તાર્યા રે BhaNe Narsaiyyo teno darshan karata, kuL ekoter tarya re

Says Narasi, the sight of such a Waishnawa saves a family through seventy-one generations.

YouTube - Thari-lok Geet_2.flv



Listen a Song of Thar Palkar ( To day in Pakistan Sindh Area )

Thar - is the name of desert, and this desert created beacause of River Saraswathi dried up.  The area Thar is a paL (means desert ) covering Rajastan, Kutch and Sindh, Baluchistan  (both in pakistan). 

We migrants of Saurashtra called ourself as paLkar.  This " paLkar " word means people of desert and Rain shadow areas.

Our ancestors told us that we are lived in sorrounding places of Somnath / Prabhas patan.  Prabhas patan / Veraval is in Rain shadow area.  We can call this area as Starting point of desert ( paL = desert in Saurashtra language ) OR end point of Thar desert.  The people who belongs to this paL desert are called as paLkar.
This paL desert called as " Parkar " in Pak. region.

This Video belongs to Thar Parkar of Pakistan.

In this song, I cant mean much words, but I hope I overcome this (not sure).  But Dont miss the melody, & and  The Temple shown at very last of this Video and People of Thar.

Like Saurashtra Palkar people, the ' Sha ' community of India spreaded over many regions in India and Pakistan.  The Sha people's origin is Rajastan's Thar palkar.  They mentioned that their ancestrol probably begins from ' Sahasra Raja OR Sagar Raja ' Clan.  The spoken Dialect of ' Sha ' people is much resembles Sourashtra of South India.  A considerable population of ' Sha ' community existing in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.

Though they are considered as ' Kshatriya ' in olden days, but today generally they are also known as Weaving community like Sourashtra community of Tamil Nadu.  The Sourashtra community of Tamil Nadu is community of  ' Veenkar ' (weaver community ).  The Veenkaar community is called as in Gujarat as ' VaNkar '  ( Derived from Sanskrit term : Vayana kAra ).  We assume that Tamil Nadu Sourastra's are belongs to  Brahman and VaNkar / Veenkaar community; who are migrated from Saurashtra.

O... Lord Vishnu...

" You came to this world as Avatar for Sake of all. - A long way travel from your holy Vaikund makes your feet pain. So

During Rama avatar you made a hit a stone, the stone re-birthed as akalya.. so your feet feels pain.. -so
I swing your bed... to get sleep for you


During Kurma avatar you made churn the ocean... so your back feels pain - so
I swing your bed... to get sleep for you ''

Bajan- Choti Choti Gayian....

Saakaara (Varnam in Swarashtram)



Sweet and beautiful Varnam in the raga Swarashtram (Not Sowrashtram) composed by Dr.M.Balamuralikrishna sung by Prince Rama Varma and the students of Veenavadini School of music at Perla. Varmaji told me that when Dr.Balamuralikrishna sang this song for the first time more



than four decades ago, somebody accused him of singing wrong phrases in raga Sowrashtram.


Dr.Balamuralikrishna quipped that since it was the 25th anniversary of Independance of India at the time, he had named the raga "Swarashtram" which was slightly different from Sourashtram :-) This uses phrases


from Sourashtram, Chakravakam and Suryakanthi and the entire varnam is composed around the three notes, Sa, Pa and Sa. This recording was made by the cameramen of Bhakthi TV who are based in Hyderabad, who travelled for 24 hours all the way to Perla, which is a little village near Mangalore, to cover Varmaji's three day workshop there.


I admire their spirit, the spirit of the Perla kids and their guru Mr.Yogeesh Sharma and of Varmaji for the wonderful


job they are doing and I am happy to share at least these few videos with all of you. Though I had never heard this varnam before, I have already fallen in love with it with this one single recording :-)

सीळळ पनीम सिज्जूइगी भात ? ஸிள்ள பநீம் சிஜ்ஜோய் கீ3 பா4த்?

ஒரு கணவன் - மனைவிக்கு இடையே ஏற்படும் ஊடலை தீர்க்க, கணவன் மனைவியின் குறைகளை நேரடியாக சுட்டி காட்ட இயலாமல், அதே சமயம் அவளின் குறைகளை தமாஷாக சுட்டி காட்டி, தனது தேவைகளை அதே சமயத்தில் கூறுவது இந்த பாடல்.   மனைவியோ எதற்கு எடுத்தாலும் கோபித்துக் கொள்ளும் கோபக்காரி.  அவளின் கோபத்தை தூண்டாமல், அவளுக்கு சிரிப்பு வரவழைத்து சமாதனபடுதும், தன் தேவைகளை, எதிர்பார்ப்பை பாடலாக கூறுவதும் இது.
