Jananiye jivalage | जननिये जिवलगे

📜 Original Script Section

जननिये जिवलगे येई वो पांडुरंगे ।

शिणलों भेटि दे गे एक वेळां ॥१॥

त्राहे त्राहे त्राहे कृपादृष्टीं पाहे ।

येऊनियां राहे ह्रदयामाजीं ॥२॥

वासनेच्या संगें शिणलें माझें चित्त ।

विषयाचे आघात पडती वरी ॥३॥

नामा म्हणे आई धांवें लवलाही ।

बुडतों चिंताडोहीं तारी मज ॥६॥

कृति: संत नामदेव महाराज

🌸 English Meaning

O Mother, my dear beloved Panduranga, please come to me.

I am exhausted and weary; please grant me Your vision just once. ||1||

Save me, save me, save me! Look upon me with Your eyes of grace.

Come now and make Your eternal home within my heart. ||2||

My mind is worn out from the constant company of worldly desires.

The blows of material attachments fall heavily upon me. ||3||

Nama (Namdev) says, "O Mother, run to me quickly!

I am drowning in a deep pool of worries; please rescue me." ||6||


🪔 Reflection

In this heart-wrenching abhang, Sant Namdev Maharaj reaches out to Lord Vitthal not as a distant God, but as a compassionate Mother (Mauli). The beauty of the Varkari tradition lies in this intimate bond, where the devotee can honestly admit their exhaustion to the Divine. Namdev confesses that he is "tired"—tired of the relentless pursuit of worldly desires (vasana) and the mental toll of material life. He describes his anxiety as a deep, dark pool (chintadohi) where he is losing his footing.

This song is a universal cry for help that resonates even today. We often find ourselves "bruised" by the pressures of modern life, much like Namdev felt the "blows" of worldly distractions. By calling Vitthal "Mother," Namdev reminds us that we don't need to be perfect to seek God; we only need to be sincere. He teaches us that surrender isn't about giving up, but about letting a higher grace take the lead.

As you listen to these verses, ask yourself: In moments of stress, do I allow myself to pause and call out for grace with the same simplicity as a child calling its mother? How would my day change if I invited that "Motherly Grace" to reside permanently in my heart?

Let this prayer be a reminder that no matter how deep the pool of worry feels, there is always a hand reaching down to pull us out. Just keep calling, just keep singing. 🙏
