Mera Murshidh Khelae Holi. May Our Values Please the Lord.
Vaishnava Janatho, the ones who sing the praise of God anywhere. Shafqat Amanat Ali sings MK Gandhi’s favorite bhajan goes global, Rabbis’ Style Not?
Vaishnav Janatho with Lyrics and Meaning in English One who is a true devotee of God (Vaishnava) Feels the pain of others helps those who are in misery but never lets ego or pride enter his mind. The one who respects the entire world does not belittle anyone. He keeps his words, actions and thoughts pure sees all equally, renounces greed and avarice and regards others as extensions of his family. Their tongue might get tired, but they will never speak falsehood. His hands would never touch the property of another, does not succumb to worldly attachments. Detached from worldly pleasures encompasses the absence of greed and deceit having renounced all types of lust and anger. The author of this poem (Narsi) would be grateful to meet such a soul. By whose virtues liberates entire lineages. This beautiful heart-felt song touches all people regardless of religion. The song defines who is a Vaishnav, It does not mention about religion, race, caste, food habits, spiritual, holy clothing’s, rituals, puja, mantras, homage, arathis, method of prayers, shraddas, devotion fasting etc. etc. etc. The song ends with the writer himself admitting that he cannot be such a person. But would rather seek to find a soul who has all these! It speaks of humility and the human limitation unable to meet such “ideals”. That does not mean we give up, but it challenges and makes us to strive to become a better person.
