OM JAI JAGDISH HARE (The Universal Aarti)



This is beautiful. I've had the song for ages now; I downloaded it the first time I was browsing for spiritual songs of India. I loved how I felt whenever I listened to it, but my idea was fairly limited in regards to the deepness of what it's about. (It's in Hindi.) Enjoy reading a bit of the lyrics in English. (Thanks Henry!)

THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER
(an original `translation' by Dr. D. K. Bhanot)

Oh Lord of the whole Universe
Mighty Lord of the whole Universe
All Thy devotees' agonies
All Thy devotees' sorrows
Instantly Thou banisheth
Oh Lord of the whole Universe

He who's immersed in devotion
He reaps the fruits of Thy love
Lord, he reaps the fruits of Thy love
Floating in a cloud of comforts
Floating in a cloud of comforts
Free from all the worldly problems
Oh Lord of the whole Universe

Thou art Mother and Father
At Thy feet I seek eternal truth
Lord, at Thy feet I seek eternal truth
There's none other than Thee,
Lord There's none other than Thee,
Lord Guardian of all our hopes
Oh Lord of the whole Universe

Thou art Godly perfection
Omnipotent Master of all
Lord, omnipotent Master of all
My destiny's in Thy Hand
My destiny's in Thy Hand
Supreme Soul of all Creation
Oh Lord of the whole Universe
