But the best part of the Janam Janam Janam song is by deleting one stanza and replacing the word Mohabbat with Ibaadat this song can be sung as a bhajan.

I have deleted one stanza and replaced the word Mohabbat with Ibaadat.

Janam janam janam sath chalna yunhi
Kasam tumhe kasam aake milna yahi
Ek jaan hai bhale do badan ho juda
Meri hoke hamesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna alvida


Meri subah ho tumhi
Aur tumhi sham ho
Tum dard ho tum hi aaram ho
Meri duaon se aati hai bas yeh sada
Meri hoke hamesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna alvida




Talab talab talab bas tere hai mujhe
Nashon mein tu nasha bann ke ghulna yoonhi
Meri Ibaadat ka karna tu hak ye adda
Meri hoke hamesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna alvida


Meri subah ho tumhi
Aur tumhi shaam ho
Tum dard ho tum hi aaram ho
Meri duaon se aati hai bas yeh sada
Meri hoke hamesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna alvida






The bhajan would sound very Advaitic yet with a touch of Dualism.

Where the devotee realizes that he is one with God..the same Atma in 2 bodies but yet he wants God to be by his side from life to life and promise never having to say good bye.


The devotee sees God in day and also in night.

The devotee feels God is in his pain and also in his comfort and..the only prayer that comes from him is for God never saying good bye to him.

He is only having the urge for God and no one else...God has dissolved in the (divine)intoxication in his veins....its God who has given him the right to pray to Him and want this never to ever end and never ever having to say goodbye.




Lets see if I get a chance to sing this song at a bhajan some day..people might wonder why I decided to sing a film song!LOL

Dear VR ji,

Each generation feels they are better than the next or the present generation..if there is truth in this that means only the Cavemen were the most well behaved!LOL


When I look at the present generation I also can't help noticing that they are very interesting.

Some of them have minds that work in all directions...I admire their ability.Well some are not to our liking but that is the law of the world..we have many types of people..even Ekam Sat is a Bahuda Vadanti situation so do we really expect all humans to be the same?

Not every one in the past was an angel and not everyone in the present is a devil..all humans have both the angel and the devil in them. In fact at times none of us really know what we might become the very next second!LOL

Sometimes I feel the line "Sab Ko San Mathi De Bhagavan"...should be changed to "Sab Ko Aur Mujhe Bhi San Mathi De Bhagavan" becos when we pray for well being of others we often forget to include ourselves.

Dear Renu,
May be cavemen were better behaved than the subsequent generations
and definitely Adam was the BEST behaved - until he listened to Eve! :)

Do you know that girls find villains more interesting than goody goody men!
Why else will they fall victims to so many crimes in so many varied manner!

We were interesting enough without dancing on the top of the running buses,
or waging armed war with our college mates and schoolmates.
or threatening the teachers with knifes or cutting to pieces
the college principal for using his authority.

Genius can be good or wicked and more often they are rather wicked than good.
'Sab' means everyone including oneself.

It is no harm saying "mujko our sab ko san mati de bhagavan!"

Dear Renu,
I bet this bhajan will become very popular both due to its content and due to the tune!
Bhakti is noting but intense love for someone and that someone happens to be God.
So all those who are intensely in love are all bahktas - some of God and the others of fellow human beings.
We have temples constructed for movie stars placing them at par with our Gods and Goddesses!
In these cases their intense love for the stars has become intense bhakti transforming them into gods and goddesses!

Why are you allergic to the word 'mohabat' to replace it?

There are not many young here who can be corrupted.

The old with umpteen health, economic issues do not jump with joy and clap their hands if the dreaded word is mentioned.

Dear Krish Ji,

Its me who replaced the word Mohabbat with Ibaadat cos I intend to sing this song as a bhajan...it was not VR ji who replaced the word.

OOPS sorry renukaji

You are too young to sing bhajans.

I assumed VRji had done that.

She would not post such thing she is young in spirit
Click to expand...

LOL!


I like to sing all type of songs.

I have been singing bhajans since the age of 8.

I started singing film songs only as an adult becos my dad did not prefer us to hear film songs when we were young.

Only bhajans used to be played in the house 24/7.
 
Dear Renu and Mr. krish,
Thank you for sorting out the confusion and saving me the trouble of explaining!
The bhajan is the creation of Dr. Renu and I will never ever dream of stealing the credit actually due to her. :nono:
Most of the classical songs are either praising the wonderful qualities of God or longing for his presence.
So LOVE aka Mohabet very much exists in our classical Carnatic music. :)
 
Interesting details and people in the Reception I attended yesterday evening:

1. The kutty fellow who was wishing each and every one of the guests "VaNakkam! VaNakkam!"

2. The aged grandparents of the bride whose faces appeared to be two lotus flowers in full bloom.

3. The slim, young bride whose name means 'fresh young leaves' was aptly dressed in a lovely green sari and matching jewels.

4. The groom from USA surprised the gathering by kneeling to the bride on the stage, while wearing the ring on her right ring finger and gently kissing her hands, drawing instant clapping.

5. The old mama who rushed to give the gift first and the serpentine queue which formed instantly.

6. I did not go on the stage (climbing 8 high steps up and then down, not to mention about waiting in the long queue) to bless the couple and pose for the video and photos.

7. The bride's mother wanted them to come down to take my blessings - to which I strongly objected, considering the length of the queue and the mixed response it will give rise to.

8. The Naadaswaram party who managed to locate me in the huge crowd since I keep the beats with out realizing it and also move my head perhaps. Thereafter they found new energy and interest and played all the popular songs.

9. The dinner had umpteen fried items and a chutney/ side dish to go with each of them. I must have consumed my one week's quota of salt yesterday. They don't serve the food after we sit. We sit after they have served everything on the plantain leaf - with the side dish poured on the main dish!

10. The two love birds whose moms are chums and whose dads are bosom friends and they themselves are well matched in age, height, weight, education and beauty. Both the the sets of parents ignored the way the yongsters were beaming and teasing each other!

11. The toothless watchman who promptly brought me a chair as we were waiting for the taxi. I tipped him Rs 10 secretly since Maanavathvam must flourish and continue in all the levels.

Dear VR ji,

All I did was replace one word and delete on stanza in the original song.

So its not really my creation at all..all credit should go to the song writer Amit Bhattarcharya who wrote such a lovely song that can even be used for a bhajan if suitably altered.
 
My grandfather was allergic of the word 'kAdhal' in carnatic songs. It is still fresh in my memory how he changed

the lyrics in one of the songs in NandhanAr Chariththiram. The word 'kAdhalOdu' was changed to 'AvalOdu' in the

line 'kAdhalOdu Thiruppunkur eesanaik kaNdu varuvOm endrAr'.

'ஆவலோடு (காதலோடு) திருபுன்கூர் ஈசனைக் கண்டு வருவோம் என்றார்'.

And following that trait, I too made a dancer's song as singer's song!

கால் மாறி ஆடிய கனகசபேசா - உன் மேல்
காதல் கொண்டேன் ஐயனே கன துய்யனே :love:

changed as

கால் மாறி ஆடிய கனகசபேசா - உன்தன்
தாள் பணிந்தேன் ஐயனே கன துய்யனே :hail:

Dear Renu,
The credit goes to you for suitably altering the original lyrics! :)
 
A fancy car developed some weird problem which no one could pinpoint.
The best mechanic in the city was called to attend to the problem.
He studied the vehicle at leisure, took out his hammer and gently tapped on a spot.
The car came to life immediately to the relief of its owner.
The fees was 100 $ and the owner complained to the mechanic,
"Are you charging 100$ just for gentle tap with your hammer?"
The mechanic smiled and said, "Sir! The tap is absolutely free.
The fees is for finding where to tap the car to set it right!"
Moral :
Finding the suitable 'anything' shows the cleverness of the person! :)
 
I forgot to tell you two important things regarding the reception!

Just as we got out of the taxi, the nadaswaram party rushed to the gate and started playing music.

We are very good friends of the bride's parents...yet welcoming with music??? :suspicious:

I found out that just as we arrived there, the groom and his party also arrived immediately after us.

The groom had come 20 minutes late for the reception and so both we and he got the royal

welcome with band baajaa! :)
 
The man who takes the video-graph is naughty as a rule
when he covers the people eating in the dining room.

He will spare none and take zoom shots of appropriate persons.

I was shocked to watch a girl dressed to kill eating with her mouth wide open like a hippopotamus.
I could literally see the 'eerEzhu pathinaalu lokams' in her mouth - as Yasoda did in Krishna's mouth!

She was least bothered when the video man gave her extra time and attention.
It is true that the way we eat and the noise we make while eating really give out our culture and etiquette.

Some people compete with Tasmanian devils when it comes to noisy eating! :rolleyes:
 
For additional reading on Tasmanian Devils!

150. Tasmanian Devil.





The Tasmanian devil is not a devil at all–as the name may suggest. It is the largest surviving carnivorous marsupial, in the Australian island state of Tasmania. Often it is simply called “The Devil”. It is the size of a small dog, but it is built stocky and muscular.

It has a large head and a tail which is about half the length of its body. The devil stores body fat in its tail. The famished and unhealthy devils often have thin tails.

Unlike the other marsupials, it has forelegs slightly longer than its hind legs. Devils can dash at the speed of 13 km per hour, over short distances. Their fur is usually black, but irregular white patches are quite common.

Males are usually larger than females, with an average head and body length of 25 inches, 10 inches long tail and weigh 8 kg. Females have an average head and body length of 22 inches, nine and half inches long tail, and weigh 6 kg.

The Tasmanian devil lives for six year in the wild, but longer in captivity. The devil has long whiskers on its face and in clumps on the top of the head. These help the devil locate prey when foraging in the dark and in detecting when other devils are close during feeding.

When agitated, the devil can emanate a strong stench, which will put a skunk to shame! Hearing is its dominant sense but it has an excellent sense of smell. Since devils hunt at night, their vision is excellent in black and white. They can detect moving objects readily, but have difficulty seeing stationary objects.

The devil has the strongest bite among all living mammals. The power of its jaw is due to its large head. A Tasmanian devil also has a set of teeth that keeps growing throughout its life.

Young devils can climb trees, but not when they grow larger and older. Devils can also swim. They are solitary animals and do not form packs like wolves. Devils eat small native mammals, domestic mammals, birds, fish, insects, frogs and reptiles.

Their diet is varied, depending on the food available. They eat about one-sixth of their body weight each day. They can become gluttonous gulpers of two-fifths of their body weight, in a short span of 30 minutes, if they get an opportunity to do so!

Tasmanian Devils devour the bones and fur in addition to the meat and internal organs of a carcass, leaving not even a trace of it! The farmers “Thank the Devils”, which prevent the spread of diseases, that might harm their livestock.

Eating is a social event for the Tasmanian devils. When 12 or more individuals gather to eat, the sound they produce can be heard several miles away! They usually establish dominance by using 11 different vocal sounds, 20 different physical postures and vicious yawns. Adult males are the most aggressive, and scarring is quite common from fighting over meats and mates.

The Tasmanian devil is best known as the inspiration for the Looney Tunes cartoon character The Tasmanian Devil, or “Taz”. Researchers have named a genetic-mutant mouse “The Tasmanian devil”. The mutant mouse is defective in the development of sensory-hair cells of the ear. Result is its abnormal behavior–including head-tossing and circling (more like the cartoon “Taz” than the actual Tasmanian devil).

During my recent visit to my physiotherapist to attend to my swollen ankles,
I was taught a few simple exercises. Curling the toes was one of them.

I remember how we are told to start curling the toes and rotating the ankle joints before we land - after hours of nonstop flying across the globe.

This looks and sounds so silly. But you will be surprised by the tremendous benefits it confer on us. The heel is kept pressed on the floor and only the toes are curled and stretched again.

If we have the choice, we can keep a towel under out feet and start to gather it with the movement of the curled toes and stretch it again with the movement of stretching of the toes.

Additional benefit :

The toe curling helps people to fall asleep faster by calming their mind.

So it makes us feel more stable when we are on our feet and helps us to fall asleep faster once we are not standing on our legs.

What more can we ask for?

The second one was the pedaling motion as on the sewing machine.
This too looks and sounds very simple but the spring attached to the foot
exerts enough resistance to make your feet stronger with practice.
Doing twenty or even ten times tires the weak foot and ankle joint.
 
Rolling a rolling pin with the sole of the feet was the third exercise.
This too sounds simple but is very effective in reducing the pain in the ankles.
Even a cylindrical ruler will serve the purpose equally well.
If we can get one of these fancy gadgets with grooves all over it,
it will be activate the feet even better using the acupressure techniques!
