Jai SitaRam

Does anyone know the meaning to this? I would very much like to know what it means. What language is it?


Thumak chalat Ramchandra, baajat painjaniya...2

Kilaki kilaki uthhata dhaya, girata bhoomi latpataya
Dhaaya maatu goda leta, Dasharata ki raniya
Thumaka chalata ....

Anchal raj anga jhaari, vividha bhaanti so dulaare,
Tan man dhan wari wari, kahat mridu vachaniya
Thumaka chalata...

Vidrum so arun adhar, bolat mukh madhur
Subhag naasika main chaaru, latkat latkaniya
Thumaka chalata...

Tulsidaas ati aanand, dekh mukh-aarvind
Raghuvar chhavi ke samaan, Raghuvar chhavi baniyaan
Thumaka chalata...


Many thanks

Jai SiaRam

These words sound so familiar!

I think i heard them when watching a south indian film called Sita's Wedding. Has anyone seen it - it's BRILLIANT!

Anyway - the meaning i am not sure... there are some words that seem to "fit" but don't take my word for it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

thumaka (chalata) = (walks like) swan
dhaya = kindness
Dasharata ki raniya = Dasharata's wife(s)

but that;s all i know - sorry!

Are you talking about Seeta Rama Kalyanam- Telugu film with NT Rama Rao who makes an excellent Ravana (whereas usually He plays God... He's the best Krishna ever!)

Isn't it just beautiful? I think it's sometimes called Bal Kriya (but not too sure)

It's talking/describing Lord Rama as a baby.

Thumak Chalat Ramachandra, baajat painjaniya is litterally saying that as he walks the ankle bells around his feet chime (meaning metaphorically how sweet he is)

It's in Hindi, and very very popular. A fantastic rendition be lata mangeshkar can be found on her cd called Ram Ratan Dhan Payo

It suggests that it's been written by the saint Tulsidas (scriptor of the Ramayana)

Dear Friends, I have very little knowledge in Sanskrit, but i can expalin this to you all. Jai SitaRam means Sita RamChandra swamy Victory. There is Inner meaning in it. "Jai"means Victory, Sita means Bhudevi's Child, Rama means "Ra" means pleasure, and Ma means Manas, or dil or brain.Bhudevi means earth you know that very well, right? So, Complete meaning is "The Victory of everyone's peace of mind on the earth". Here, you can ask how come the meaning comes to this? Sita means child of earth, like anyone of us. Rama means mental pleasure or mental peace. Jai means Victory. So, are you agree with me?
In villages like in India people use to say Jai SitaRam, when one meets any other person.
They use to think "Sarvejna Sukhino bhavanthu" = All should be happy.
Jai SitaRam or Jai SiyaRam or Jai Ramjiki.
