Ganga Jata Dhara Gauri Shankara

SaiRam

Sorry about not updating the blog with any new posts from past few days.  Everyone at home, fell sick and suffered a bout of cold and cough.  Though, I recovered from it, my voice still sounds very hoarse.  Kindly bear with me.

This is among the very early bhajans that I learnt almost 14 years ago.  It is a lovely song that I fell in love the first time I heard in the Sai baba movie.  Enjoy this in SPB's melodious voice.

Lyrics:
Ganga Jata Dhara Gauri Shankara Girija Mana Ramana
(Hara)Ganga Jata Dhara Gauri Shankara Girija Mana Ramana
Mrityumjaya Mahadeva Maheshwara Mangala Shubha Charana
(Jaya) Mrityumjaya Mahadeva Maheshwara Mangala Shubha Charana
Nandi Vahana Naga Bhushana
Nandi Vahana Naga Bhushana
Nirupama Guna Sadana
Nirupama Guna Sadana
Natana Manohara Neela Kanta Sai
Natana Manohara Neela Kanta Sai
Niraja Dala Nayana
(Sai) Niraja Dala Nayana

(Fast)
Ganga Jata Dhara Gauri Shankara Girija Mana Ramana
(Jaya) Mrityumjaya Mahadeva Maheshwara Mangala Shubha Charana
Nandi Vahana Naga Bhushana
Nirupama Guna Sadana
Natana Manohara Neela Kanta Sai
Niraja Dala Nayana
(Sai) Niraja Dala Nayana
(Slow Chorus)
Ganga Jata Dhara Gauri Shankara Girija Mana Ramana

Translation:
Glory to the One who bears river Ganges in His hair; Glory to the One who is the husband of Parvati; Glory to the One who is beyond death; Glory to the One whose Feet spell good for every one; Glory to the One who rides the Nandi. Glory to the One who has a cobra around His neck. Glory to the one who is the embodiment of unparalleled virtues; Hail the enchanting dancer, the blue throated Sai, Whose eyes are like the petals of a Lotus flower.
