Sant Kabir "I See Hari Everywhere" हरि को हर मे देखा

August 11, 2012

Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayanandaji sang a beautiful Kabīr bhajan at the Dharmasevak program in Chinmaya Gardens, Coimbatore recently. The same bhajan is also on a CD, राम नाम के हीरे मोती (Ram Naamke Heerey Moti) by Swami Advaitanandaji. I simply love this bhajan. It is beautiful and works both as an expression of the Lord's bhakta or as the direct experience of a gñāni, a man of wisdom.


हरि को हर मे देखा
साधो हरि को हर मे देखा ।
आप माल और आप खजाना आप हि खर्चनवाला ।
आप गलि मे भिक्षा मांगे हात मे लेके प्याला ।
साधो हरि को हर मे देखा ...

अापे नयना अापे शयना अाप हि कंबलकाला ।
अाप गोद मे अाप खिलावे अाप हि मोहन माला ।
साधो हरि को हर मे देखा ...

ठाकुर द्वारे ब्राह्मण बैठा मक्का मे दरवेसा ।
कहत कबीरा सुनो भाइ साधो हरि जैसे का तैसा ।
साधो हरि को हर मे देखा ...
hari ko har me dekhaa
saadho hari ko har me dekhaa.

aapa maala aura aapa khajaanaa aapa hi kharchanavaalaa.
aapa gali me bhikshaa maange haata me leke pyaalaa.
saadho hari ko har me dekhaa ...

aape nayana aape shayana aapa hi kambala kaala.
aapa goda me aap khilaave aap hi mohan maala.
saadho hari ko har me dekhaa ...

Thaakura dwaare braahmaN baiThaa makka me daravesaa
kahata kabiiraa suno bhai saadho
hari jaise ka taisaa
saadho hari ko har me dekhaa ...

This Bhajan is a beautiful illustration of Geeta 6-31.
सर्वभूतस्थितं यो मां भजत्येकत्वमास्थितः |
सर्वथा वर्तमानोऽपि स योगी मयि वर्तते ||६-३१||


sarvabhuutasthitaM yo maaM bhajatyekatvamaasthitaH .
sarvathaa vartamaano.api sa yogii mayi vartate .. 6-31..
He who, being established in unity, worships Me, dwelling in all beings, that YOGI abides in Me, whatever be his mode of living.


Hari Om and Namaskaar until the next post

Geeta Dhyānaṁ 2 - Vyāsā's Vast Intellect

January 7, 2013 Previously on Geeta Jayanti, I had posted on the eternal debt of gratitude to Mother Geeta that is the basis of Geeta Dhyānaṁ. I love Param Pujya Gurudev 's commentary on the Geeta Dhyānaṁ. Pujya Gurudev's commentary is after the introduction to the Bhagavad Geeta in the commentary on Chapters 1 & 2 published by the the Chinmaya Mission. I personally believe it should be a book by itself. After invoking Mother Geeta, we now pay tribute to the wise Vyāsa Rishi - the Guru whose Jayanti marks Guru Pūrnima every year. Pujya Gurudev starts His tribute to Veda Vyāsā in his commentary on the 1st verse of the Dhyānaṁ. Vyāsa, the father of the Vedās, who, first collected, edited and published the Veda texts and who thereafter, gave us the dialectics of Vedānta in his Brahma Sūtra, himself a great man of realization, was indeed well fitted for the job. The ancient seer had both the mastery of the theoretical science of religion - Hinduism and also the practical expe

In every field, let Dharma flourish - क्षेत्रे क्षेत्रे धर्म कुरु

August 9, 2012 Swamini Vimalanandaji has done a series of talks at the Ahmedabad Management Association (AMA) called "406 SMS – Sure Mantras for Success from Bhagwad Geeta" (item 406 at this AMA link ). In this she has a very interesting take on the 1st line of the Bhagavad Geeta. धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे  १-१ dharmakShetre kurukShetre 1-1 <i> on the holy plain of Kurukshetra... </i> Swamini turns that slightly and says,  क्षेत्रे  क्षेत्रे  धर्म कुरु -   kShetre  kShetre  dharma kuru. Swamini goes on to establish that we can use this mantra to make that: "In every aspect of society,  must be pervaded by Dharma" Hari Om and Namaskaar until the next post

Geeta in Literature - IF by Rudyard Kipling

September 12, 2011 I came across a nice YouTube video that is an animation of Rudyard Kipling reading his famous poem IF . The full text sourced from wikisource is below: If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same: If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And los
