Overall Meaning

The song "Phir Main Kaahe Mandir Jaun" by Sukhwinder Singh & Alka Yagnik speaks about the spiritual and divine essence within oneself. The lyrics emphasize the presence of different Hindu deities within the individual, such as Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, and Krishna. The repetition of these lines signifies the belief that divinity exists within every person.

The song also describes the awe-inspiring nature of the world, with its mountains, oceans, and skies. The lyrics suggest that even in witnessing the grandeur and beauty of nature, one can still find divinity within oneself. This idea is reinforced by the recurring phrase "Phir Main Kaahe Mandir Jaun," which translates to "Why should I go to the temple?"

The song delves deeper into the concept of self-realization and the acknowledgement that one's true identity is a divine being. It suggests that the entire creation is but a dream of the supreme consciousness, and each individual has a personal connection with the divine. The lyrics encourage the seeker to chant the garland of love and to live each breath and heartbeat as a song of love for the divine.

Overall, "Phir Main Kaahe Mandir Jaun" is a spiritual and introspective song that highlights the belief in the presence of God within oneself, rather than in external places of worship.

Mujh mein shiv hain mujh mein brahma
Mujh mein Vishnu mujh mein krishna

Aham Brahmasmi - 4

Yeh srishti uska sapna
Har vyakti uska apna
Yeh srishti uska sapna
Har vyakti uska apna
Bhagwaan ko jo paana hai
Prem ki hi mala japana
Saans saans har dhadkan dhadkan
Prem geet hi gaata jaaoon

Sun kar bansi ka lehra
Radha tode har pehra
Sun kar bansi ka lehra
Radha tode har pehra
Jamnaji ke paar chali
Roke laakh bhavar gehra
Radha ne jo roop liya tha
Aaj agar main woh apnaaoo
Phir main kahemandir jaaoon

Mujh mein shiv hain mujh mein brahma
Mujh mein Vishnu mujh mein krishna
Phir main kahe mandir jaaoon

Dharti ambar parbat sagar
Main jit dekhoon usko paaoon
Phir mein kaahe mandir jaaoon

The whole album of this movie was underrated and never get that appreciation this was masterpiece of Subhash Ghai after Taal movie. There is a English song in this movie was too good. A r Rahman , Ismail Darbar and Naveen the perfect combination it was.
