Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maname aana baso.
Tuma bina laage soonaa
Khaali ghatame prema bharo.
Tantra mantra poojaa nahi jaanu
Mai to kevala tumako hi maanu.
Sare jaga me dhundaa tumako
Aba to aakara baahan dharo

Translation
Divine being, have mercy on me.
Come, reside in my heart.
Without you, I feel an emptiness.
Fill up my hollow entity with love.
I don't know the rituals, chants, and prayers.
I just know that I believe in you.
Searched the whole world for you.
Now, please come, take my hand and lead me.

I was born, and raised ? a ROMAN CATHOLIC ? ..whatever that means,
It means THAT was the start of my life path...I took many a fork in that road..then ? realised THAT was not my chosen road.
I'm from Liverpool. Like George. Im 60 years old now. I was also raised on The Beatles.
Where I am now ?
Travelled the world, done it all, had success, failed....yet never stopped laughing. I still laugh at most things.
George ? was everybody's 'last Beatle you got into'
When I did ? I never looked back.
This album ? saved me ...from being normal. Made me understand the future ? is NOT tomorrow....it is when we depart this material earth.
I have made my peace....with myself.
I hope one day to blow in the same breeze as Ravi and George...knowing.
Hare Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama x
THANK YOU RAVI - THANK YOU GEORGE
