Prabhujee dayaa karo


This is a line taken from a beautiful prayer by Ravi Shanker played invariably every morning at our home.  The lines are so beautiful ..


Prabhujee dayaa karo
Maname aana baso.
Tuma bina laage soonaa
Khaali ghatame prema bharo.
Tantra mantra poojaa nahi jaanu
Mai to kevala tumako hi maanu.
Sare jaga me dhundaa tumako
Aba to aakara baahan dharo


World seems to be a crazy place to live-in and we are like crazy people who are constantly trying to find one single thing - our peace of mind. Prabhujee dayaa karo.

What we want and what we have and what we finally get – the gap seems too wide to bear it all. Prabhujee dayaa karo.

The pain, the helplessness, the sorrow never seem to be go away and no one to help but to cry alone. Prabhujee dayaa karo.

We ask just one question to our self every morning – why this has to happen and why me? Prabhujee dayaa karo.

Why am I the only one fighting it out? I too have the full right to be happy. Prabhujee dayaa karo.

Why can’t we forget what we do not wish to remember and seems to coming back to us. Prabhujee dayaa karo.

Every moment seems to be an endless journey battling a lonely dark life between desires and lost bewildered mind. Prabhujee dayaa karo.

Please bring an end to this. Prabhujee dayaa karo.

Probably our prayers are the only form of expressions of our anxiety.  Empty emotions and dry tears rolling down every day and yet we suffer inside accepting what our fates has to offer in return. We are trying so hard to walk the fine line balancing our life daily, accepting the situation as they throw up and living a life surrounded by what society demands and not what you want. Paradox of life.


Yet no one asks you – tell me what I can do for you - to see the everlasting sparkle in your eyes and retain the joyous smile on your face.


The life one leads is always of a loner, the day you are born till you die it’s your own lonely battle which you have to fight within. I don’t wanna lose the reason to live a life. I wanna live a life.  



Prabhujee dayaa karo

Just incase you would like to listen to the prayer thought of adding it:

Anindya, I am with you in your thoughts. But as far as paradox of life is concerned, i feel here are the reasons what we have to fight and continue living. The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but
have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller
families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less
sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems,
more medicine, but less wellness.
