Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. A most heartfelt welcome to our Śrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī bhajan musical. We are overjoyed to have the opportunity to sing and play together with you. The next bhajan was written by Viśvagurujī, Paramahaṁsa Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī. As I recall, it was composed in 1983 in Serbia. In this bhajan, he writes, "I received the divine name from you to repeat it again and again." From that moment, it colored me with the hue of bhakti. You have protected me until now; please protect me also in the future. I may forget you, but please never forget me. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jaya. Satguru Svāmī Mādhavānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jaya. Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jaya. Satguru Svāmī Mādhavānandajī Gurudeva Kī, Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī, Jai Ho. The next bhajan is a very famous one in India, sung on many different occasions and in various ashrams. Its title is "Choṭā Se Choṭā Chagavo." The meaning, for your reference, is this: Please inflame the light in my heart. May your light dispel my darkness. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. Śaṅkarācārya Bhagavān Kī Jai. Hari Om. The following bhajan will be "Śrī Guru Ātmā, Paramātmā." It is about bowing down to the Guru, who is our highest Self. This realization is not possible without devotion to Gurudeva, to the self-realized saints who shower us with grace and mercy. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. Śrī Śivānandajī Kī Jai. Gurudeva Kī Jai. Om bole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. Śrī Śivānandajī Kī Jai. Gurudeva Kī Jai. The next bhajan will be, "Hua Gurudeva Kadarśana Milana, Ho To Esa Ho." I have met and received the darśana of Gurudeva. What a blessing. This is the highest attainment one can receive in life. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jaya. We will now close this festival with some kīrtan. It would be wonderful if everyone could sing along with us. This is a kīrtan for Śiva, for Mahādeva. I have brought some papers with the text. Perhaps we can speak it together first. I will say two words, and you can repeat them. Śiva, Śiva. Śiva, Śiva. Śambho Śaṅkara, Śambho Śaṅkara. Hara Hara, Hara Hara. Hara Mahādeva, Hara Mahādeva. Gaṅgā Dhara, Gaṅgā Dhara. Dhara Gaurī, Dhara Gaurī. Manohara, Manohara. Pārthasārathi, Pārthasārathi. Parameśvara, Parameśvara. The translation of this kīrtan is: Śiva, or Mahādeva—the auspicious, the beneficent, the bringer of prosperity and joy, the destroyer. The great lord Mahādeva, who holds the river Gaṅgā in the locks of his hair, who wins the heart of Gaurī (Pārvatī), the highest lord of the universe. Mahādeva Kī Jai. Devāśaṅkara Bhagavān Kī Jai. Siddhe Viśvar Mahādeva Kī Jai. Śrī Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai. Satguru Svāmī Mādhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jai. Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Maheśvarānanda Jigoḍeva Kī Jai. Oṁ.
