PURNAVATAAR

This is one of my most favourite song from B R Chopra's Mahabharat . It is written by the great poet Surdas where he tells about the greatness of the Lord.  You can find the song by searching with the name of the song on YouTube. Here is the lyrics and English Translation:- Sabson (Sabse) unchi prem sagaai, Sabson (Sabse) unchi prem sagaai; Of all forms of worship of the Lord, love is the highest. (1) Duryodhan ke meva tyaage, Duryodhan ke meva tyaage; Saag Vidur ghar khaai, Lord Krishna renounced the delicacies that Duryodhana offered, and ate vegetables at Vidura’s house. Sabson unchi prem sagaai.... (2) Jhoothe phal Sabri ke khaaye, Jhoothe phal Sabri ke khaaye; Bahu vidhi swaad bataai, As Lord Ramchandra, He ate fruits which were already filled with love from Sabari.   Sabson unchi prem sagaai.... (3) Prem ke bas ripu seva kinhi, Prem ke bas ripu seva kinhi; Aap bane Hari naai (??), Love is indeed the best way to serve and pl...

Dear Friends, Continuing with the Janmashtami mood :), today I am posting the dohas which come around the birth of Shri Krishna, in B R Chopra's 'Mahabharat'.  The dohas are taken from Shivang's posts in India Forums website :) ( http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1251811&TPN=61 ) (In this page you can find all the dohas of Mahabharat) Watch the sequence here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjSONbbaJJ4 Krishna paksha ki ashtami, ardh raatri Budhvaar;   Karagruh me Kans ke, bhayo Krishna avtaar, bhayo Krishna avtaar. Sinh raashi ke Soorya hain, udit uchcha ke Chandra;   Devan dinhi dundubhi, taar madhya, swar mand, taar madhya swar mand. Megh nichhavar ho rahe, barse sau sau dhaar;   Damak damak daamini kahe, dekho mukh ek baar, dekho mukh ek baar. Chhatra banyo brijraaj hit, phan failaye naag;   Mathura tere tyaag se, jaage Brij ke bhaag, jaage Brij ke bhaag. Jaane Jamuna jag nahi, Shri Hari ko avtaar;  ...

Dear Friends, we all know how Rukmini, the Princess of Vidarbha, sent her message to Shri Krishna expressing her wish to marry him and to save her from getting married to Shishupal (acc to the wish of her brother Rukmi). The Lord accepted her wish, came and married her. Such a beautiful incident!! Today I am including the same sequence from B R Chopra's Mahabharat , Ramanand Saagar's Shri Krishna and a K M Munshi's Krishnavatara novel. First, I am taking up the scene from Mahabharat (first four pictures of this post). Here is the video of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVXcN0pWuc4 The Lyrics of the song, was originally posted by Shivang in Orkut. I have LOVED this song since my childhood. I remembered this song even when I was busy with studies during my student life and completely forgot about Mytho shows. The Lyrics as well as the Music- both are Wonderful!! And Nitishji was too good!! His acting while reading the letter is So Real!! Binati suniye.... Binati s...

Here I am posting a dialogue from my favourite Mahabharat where Krishna discusses about the reason and the implications of the name 'Rannchhod'. After completing Gurukul, Krishna and Balaram join Mathura in their war against Jarasandh. The following scene comes just after Krishna and Balaram triumph over Jarasandh. Mathura Raajsabhaa ( 'Krishna-Balaram ki Jay' - can be heard from the background) Ugrasen - Yadi Krishna aur Balaram thik samay par na aa gaye hote, to Mathura ka paraajay aaj nishchit tha. To Mathura par in dono ka ek aur rinn chadh gaya. Krishna – Kshama chaahta hoon Maharaaj, parantu maatrubhoomi kabhi rini nahi hoti. Aur yadi koi yeh soche ki usne ya uske parivaar ne maatrubhoomi par koi upkaar kiya hai, to yeh uski bhool hai. Maine jo kiya, wo mera kartavya tha. Aur aaj ke pashchaat mai jo kuchh karunga, wo keval kartavyapaalan hi ke liye karunga . Vijay ki is kshan me mai yeh kehna chaahta hoon ki Magadh Naresh Jarasandh phir aakramann karenge. Bala...
