Alakh Niranjan


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.

A plunge into Oneness

While I gaze at the moon admiring it's beauty wondering how does one fall(rather how does one rise) for someone in love!! When one just doesn't know the 'why' n is clueless of the reason of them being in love with someone...  I feel.. it's only then love is so unadulterated genuine n true.. Love and loving is beyond the reasons, qualities, virtues.. And when the realization dawns of being in love, it is then the most beautiful thing  happens. Two people become so ready to take a plunge to hinge together n to surrender themselves to each other!! Ready to embark on a journey.. To respect the likes n dislikes of the consort.. To imbibe the best in each other n accommodating the worst..celebrating the differences.. To let each other be free yet be bonded n closely knit.. Being straightforward yet playful n candid.. Being totally immersed into each other yet being individual.. Respecting each other n their space yet being the closest n known to ...
