Amazing Kirtan (devotional music) sung by Anantvir Singh. All the shabads (hymns) sung in this video refer to high level of attachment to the worldly, illusory and temporary things that the mind is drowning in and how we must renounce these to find true inner peace. See below for the translation of the main lines sung in this video.
ਰੂਪ ਰੰਗ ਸੁਗੰਧ ਭੋਗ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਚਲੇ ਮਾਇਆ ਛਲੇ ਕਨਿਕ ਕਾਮਿਨੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
roop rang sugandh bhog tiaag chale maeaa chhale kanik kaaminee |1| rahaao ||
You must abandon your beauty, pleasures, fragrances and enjoyments; enchanted by gold and sexual desire, you must still leave Maya behind. Pause.
ਭੰਡਾਰ ਦਰਬ ਅਰਬ ਖਰਬ ਪੇਖਿ ਲੀਲਾ ਮਨੁ ਸਧਾਰੈ ॥
bhanddaar darab arab kharab pekh leelaa man sadhaarai |
You gaze upon billions and trillions of treasures and riches, which delight and comfort your mind,
ਨਹ ਸੰਗਿ ਗਾਮਨੀ ॥੧॥
neh sang gaamanee |1|
but these will not go along with you.
This video was recorded at Park Avenue Southall as part of the extended Katha & Kirtan darbar which took place in August 2018.
