Jai Thakur Om Thakur - Daniel Maharaj - 2018

Jai Thakur, Om Thakur - Swami Nirakarananda

July 24, 2018

Here Thakur is referring to Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.
We heard this melodious bhajan in waning light of the setting sun in the silent shrine of UK Vedanta Center in 1998 onwards.
Original account of the event is available at:

Jai Thakur, Om Thakur

O Thakur, grant us true dispassion

For the fleeting things of this world.

This mad game which seems to have no end

Can never satisfy the yearning of our hearts.

Jai Thakur, Om Thakur.

Lone we came, lone shall we depart.

Alas ! To whom shall we cry for help ?

You are our only friend, our only guide and solace,

We are your helpless children, we take refuge in You.

Jai Thakur, Om Thakur.

O Thakur, this is our prayer,

That we may have pure love for You,

May our thoughts dwell on You alone,

May all our deeds be offered up to You.

Jai Thakur, Om Thakur.
