to marci about MATA RANI

[Guest guest]

Dear marci ~ thank you so much. I am so touched by your thinking of me; it's

hard to find the words, except to say that it brought tears of release from

me. I would love to know more of this bhajan...would love to hear it. Does

anyone know which CD it might be on? :::bowing to Mother::: ~ Linda

....last night was listening to Amma Bhajans and when MATA RANI

came up thought about you. . . for you said it had been awhile since you

were

able to connect with Amma and wondered if you have heard about the

excitement

and love that so many have know with Mata Rani. . .a couple of years ago

Amma

started to sing it and it truly it is awesome. . ..does anyone know if there

is a link of U-Tube that would allow Linda to hear it?. . .Linda later on

today i will copy a bit of Swamiji's talk where he talks about the Bhajan

Mata

Rani.

Namah Shivaya,

 

Mata Rani is such a wonderful, joyous bhajan. Amma did not sing it

so much this summer as She did last year, but Big Swamiji sang it

near the end of both Devi Bhavas that I saw (San Ramon and Toronto).

It is on World Tour 2007, volume 2. Or you can get a DVD of Amma

singing it - see http://www.theammashop.org/dmrkj.html .

 

Jai Ma,

Pranada

Dear marci ~ thank you so much for sharing these words of Swamiji. I can

even " see " him telling the story, " hear " his voice, and it has been so long, but

like yesterday. Yes, often we pray as if we are lowly worms, but Mata Rani

sounds like a powerful affirmation, that just by singing it, by uttering these

divine words of grace, we become that fullness and wholeness we long for. My

heart is full. There is nothing to disastrous that Amma cannot heal. Jai Ma ~

Linda P.S. So glad you found the wonderful videos ... many are

by the late Anand Sagar.

thought i would post a bit of what Swamiji said about

Mata Rani. . .

 

" The song Mata Rani has become so popular among Amma's devotees. . .all

over the world . . .and even today it remains so fresh in our hearts. .

..even now when Amma sings Mata Rani the entire hall will dance. . .

 

The meaning of the songs. . .the language is Punjabi. . .this in fact is

a very special bhajan. . .it is special because it's meaning is entirely

different than most bhajans. . .most bhajans are full of longing. .

..with words like; " O Mother when will you come. . .this child is longing

.. . .without your grace. . .i am not. . .everything is sorrow. . .i am

waiting for you. . .i am such a mess. . .i will continue to be a mess " .

 

....But Mata Rani is entirely different. . .it talks about fullness. . .i

have gained everything...

The meaning of the chorus. . Mata Rani has shead her grace upon me. .

..all my wishes have come true. . .Mata Rani heard my prayers and all my

wishes have come true. . .there is nothing to gain. . .all have wishes

have come true. . .

 

So in Mata Rani. . .the song is not a celebration longed for. . .a song

of celebration that has already come true. . .or more correctly it is a

celebration that one's nature is immortal bliss. . .it is a shift in

understanding. . .the bhajan says, All my wishes have come true. . .
