Verse 3 of 5
Blessed Is the Home Where Love Was Born
ਧਨਿ ਧਨਿ ਤੂ ਮਾਤਾ ਦੇਵਕੀ ॥
Dhan Dhan too maataa dayvkee.
Blessed, blessed are you, O mother Dayvakee;
ਜਿਹ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਰਮਈਆ ਕਵਲਾਪਤੀ ॥੨॥
jih garih rama-ee-aa kavalaapatee. ||2||
into your home the Lord was born. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Blessed, blessed are you, dear mother,
in whose home the Beloved came into the world.
Blessed is any home where love is welcomed and born.
The litany reaches the mother (Dayvakee, in the Krishna story) whose home the Beloved was born into. Honoring the mother is honoring the vessel of love's arrival — and quietly, Namdev keeps lifting up figures the world might overlook. The blessedness spreads to everyone near the divine.
A Question to Sit With
