BHAJA GOVINDAM

from MIRACLE by Mahadev OK

/

about

Another discover from the past, I had made this song in India four years prior to the production of the album. Thanks to Kanta, my wife, who liked this song enough to regularly ask why it was not yet recorded I thus went in the studio one morning after I had played it on the guitar and found it fit to feature. Despite a more electronic arrangement I sensed I had reached the goal with this adaptation of the book Bhaja Govindham featuring Advaita Vedanta founder Shankaracharya and translator Swami Chinmayananda.

lyrics

As a drop of rain meets uncertainty
Life is ever unstable
Our very world is sick and mad
There is no place comfortable
As long as you can earn and save
People will gather around you
As soon as you get old and deprive from health
Nobody will be there

Who are you, who are those you love?
How wonderful is the endless circle
Where are you from? You ought to figure that out
While you’re wandering around
From the company of the wise
You get to lose attachment
From non-attachment you get to freedom
Thus let’s cross the sea of change all together

Your body looks good and radiant
It attracts looks and forces respect
But what happens when it is but corpse
Even your wife will turn away from it
O fool be content and live simply
Use your body with no worshiping
O fool remember there is one quest only
Which prevails on any wandering

Bhaja Govindam, Bhaja Govindam, Bhaja Govindam

Har Har Har Har Bhaja Govindam, Har Har Har Har Bhaja Govindam,
