Jyotirgamaya - Prayer Songs [Hindi]

Beet gaye din bhajan bina re, Krodh na chhora, jhooth na chhora, Naath manhe ab ki baar bachaao, Kar na fakiri phir kya dilgiri, Piya milan kaisay jayogi gori, Sakhi mere man ki kau janay, Sawaliya man bhaya re and Kachu lena na dena magan rehna. Sung by Ritika Sahni. ** A prayer does not change things for us. It simply changes us for things. In happiness, times of trouble, confusion or when one is looking for the right path, a prayer leads us to the ever-shining zone of light, the ultimate heaven, where one is always welcome as a human. I believe that this feeling is no different from the way a child, in its purest form feels, when it looks for refuge at the bosom of its mother. A prayer takes us to that place, where one is always welcome. Despite ones pretensions, sins or failures and is secured in the embrace of the Divine. l am fortunate enough to be able to create this album, which I have dedicated not only to my mother by to the ever-embracing divinity of motherhood at large. Besides as a compilation of some brilliant prayer songs this album is a pathfinder in terms of bringing cult figures such as Kabir, Meera, Yakrang, Narayan Swami, Khalas and Bhaiji together. The content of the songs have a universal appeal and will speak to all beyond the barriers of age and time.
