Lyrics of Vaishnava Janato
vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je
pid parayi jane re
par-dukhkhe upakar kare toye
man abhiman na aane re
vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je
sakal lok maan sahune vande
niinda na kare kenii re
vach kachh man nishchal rakhe
dhan-dhan jananii tenii re
vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je
sam-drishhtii ne trishhna tyagii
par-strii jene maat re
jihva thakii asatya naa bole
par-dhan nav jhalii haath re
vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je
moh-maya vyape nahii jene
dridh vairagya jena man maan re
raam naam sun talii lagii
sakal tirath tena tan maan re
vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je
van-lobhii ne kapat-rahit chhe
kaam-krodh nivarya re
bhane narasaiyyo tenun darshan karta
kul ekoter taraya re
vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je
Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Vaishnava Janato
That Vaishnava, they say, is one who knows,
The suffering of others, a river that flows.
Who offers solace, a hand reaching out,
Yet in their own heart, no pride to sprout.
That Vaishnava, they say, is one.
They honor all beings, a universal embrace,
Never speak ill, in any time or place.
With thoughts pure and steady, a spirit so free,
Blessed is the mother who bore such as he.
That Vaishnava, they say, is one.
With even eyes, and desires cast aside,
To other women, a mother's loving tide.
Untruth does not pass, from their tongue's gentle grace,
And another's wealth, they never would chase.
That Vaishnava, they say, is one.
By worldly illusion, they are never ensnared,
Firm detachment, within their heart declared.
When the name of Ram, a song starts to play,
All sacred places, within them today.
That Vaishnava, they say, is one.
Without greed's shadow, or deceit's sharp sting,
Passion and anger, their spirits bring
To a place of peace. Narsaiyo sings,
Seeing such a soul, seventy generations springs
To salvation's shore.
That Vaishnava, they say, is one.

Comments for lyrics of song "Vaishnava Janato"
Galavya41 on Thursday, May 26, 2011 ..and do you think these people care about what the song teaches.I for
example am having great difficulty in believing that Remo Fernandez sees
his mother in all women except his wife( god knows even if he has a
wife)...please dont pretend guys, no matter how much you jump you can never
be like NarsidasJi and no you cant leave your old lifestyle and adopt the
Vaishnav way.
Akash Shah on Friday, May 27, 2011 @Galavya41 what makes you think this is a dance number? look at the names
of the people involved in this project: pt jasraj, kavita krishnamurthy,
hariharan, l subramaniam, ustad sultan khan...
MukeshT on Saturday, October 10, 2009 Wow ! When there is mention of God, it will always be divine, no matter
which or what faith. ! God bless even those with crooked tongue !
Anandaroop Bhattacharya on Saturday, June 26, 2010 Innovative attempt. But I believe these songs should be left alone. As one
of friends once said "Perfection cannot be bettered".
Dancing Devi on Monday, February 22, 2010 Of course the original was great, but this version is just a chance for all
of these artists to come together on 1 project.
