Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my mind, sing the Name with a rush of joy, day and night full of delight.
The One shows up even in the best-loved old stories — the flute-player among the cows, the gentle cowherds, the beautiful dark-skinned friend whose music charms everyone.
Even as a small child in those tales, it faces what looks overwhelming and comes through unharmed.
The Rahau — jap raam naam omaahaa — is joyful remembrance. The pauri then wears the beloved Krishna imagery: gopee (milkmaid) and Kaan (Krishna), the flute, the dark-blue beauty, the child who faces the maddened elephant Kuwalia-peer. The project's stance is evenhanded and respectful: the same One lives in these cherished Hindu stories too — that's the point, not a claim about them. The violence is abstracted to “facing what seems overwhelming.”
What's a story you love where someone small faces something huge and comes through?
