Maiya mori, Mai nahin Maakhan Khayo!!

A friend of mine recently gifted me some bhajans..

and i have been listening to them all thru my weekend..

and one of them has surely touched my soul...

Oh maiya mori ...

oh maiya mori.......

mai nahin maakhan khayo!!

GOD has created so many beautiful relationships on this earth...

and one of the most auspicious n loveliest being the relationship between a mother and a son..

This Bhajan has been sung by many..and i have recently heard it in Anup Jalota's voice..

And i am all thrilled to hear his voice again and again...))

and this song is just so heart rending..

Had read Swami Vivekanad's teachings once, which emphasized that mother is the most sacred form of God and should be served with utmost respect and care.

This song depicts the beautiful relationship between Lord of the Lords, Lord Krishna in his childhood and his mother Maiya Yashoda!!

How naughty Bal Gopal is trying to hide that he has not consumed Maakhan..

Oh Maiya mori main nahin maakhan khaayo!!

Emotionally blackmailing his mother..telling her that you dont consider me ur part..and hence punishing me...Bringing tears in her eyes..and her maiya agreeing...

Oh Kanhaiya more, Tain nahin maakhan khaayo!!

and finally seeing..that mother is all set to forgive me..so accepts that He only ate Maakhan!!

Oh Maiya mori, mene hee maakhan khayo!!!

Maiya Mori Maein Nahin Maakhan Khayo
Kahat Sunat Mein Aakar Kaahe Jhootha Dosh Lagayo
Ri Maiya Mori Maein Nahin Maakhan Khayo

Yamuna Ke Tat Par Gwal Bal Sang Char Sahar Maein Khela
Gaiya Charavat Bansi Bajavat Sanj Ki Bela
Bhook Lagi To Daudat Daudat Seedha Maein Ghar Aayo
Maiya Mori...

Na Koi Maine Matki Phodi Na Koi Ki Hai Chori
Jaan Liya Kyon Mujhko Jhootha Toone Maiya Mori
Apne Ang Ko Kaise Samjha Toone Aaj Parayo
Maiya Mori...

Mein To Baba Nand Ke Lala Kaahe Chor Kahaun
Apne Ghar Mein Kaun Kami Jo Bahar Makhan Khaun

Baat Suni To Mata Yashoda Hanskar Kanth Lagayo
Phir Boli - Tu Nahin Makhan Khayo
Re Krishna More, Tu Nahin Makhan Khayo!!!!

The Princess who wanted the Moon

Was gazing at the sky yesterday night, when suddenly i caught hold of a rare n amazing glimpse!!

..

.

..

one moon n one star...

..

.

.

.

for stars are so rare here..

and i was quite happy to have that glimpse yest..

i captured it in my digi cam flash..

..

..

.

.

and then all of a sudden, i remembered the story of "The princess who wanted the Moon"..

I had read that in my English Gulmohar somewhere in i guess 4th or 5th Std..

and wanted to revisit it today again!

..

.

.

here are the links!!

.

.

The first part of the story signifies how worse can things turn up if the kids are grown in a pampered and uncontrolled manner..

.

.

and the second part of the story signifies how fruitful it can be when we think out of the box....

.

.

.

.

well, i need to work upon both of these lessons!!

.

.

I have been behaving quite impulsively and hurting others quite often...

.

&

.

Fruitful thinking often leads to better results, as there is no straight solution to most of the problems...

.

.

.

Hope, i keep on working on these 2 aspects!!

Ending with the beautiful prayer!!

.

.

.

.

Thank you God, for the world so sweet,
Thank you God, for the food we eat!!

Thank you God, for the birds that chirp,

Thank you God, for everything!!!!!
