Had an Amazing celebration this navratri here in Jaipur with Swami Jyotirmaya ji. This was Astahmi when it was also d last satsang n i Sang this bhajan Alakh Niranjan Bhav Bhaya Bhanjan...Swami ji sang it too n its such a beautiful bhajan.
The meaning of this Mantra as: "Alakh means "that which is not seen" and niranjan means "without any stains.". It is implied that 'alakh' is a derivative of the Sanskrit word 'alakshya', the opposite of 'lakshya'. 'lakshya' is taken to mean 'target' or 'goal' but literally it could perhaps mean 'an object being seen'. 'Anjana' is a black stone (guess, with a high antimony content) and could also mean 'black spot' or 'stain'. So 'niranjana' could mean 'stainless', 'pure' that is.
So, the mantra could just be the join of two attributes of the divine: 'invisible' ('subtle'?) and 'pure'.
The most beautiful thing of all is this that Flower "Lotus" ,which also signifies being untouched n the purest is offered to the Divine,which represents the fullness.
Alakh Niranjan Bhav Bhaya Bhanjan Narayana, Narayana, Narayana,Hari Narayana.
