100B - Asato Ma Sad Gamaya, Hindi & English explanations

Ram Ram, Namaste, Hare Krishna, Namaskaaram, Sai Ram, Bula, Salaam, Sat Shri Akaal, Hari Bol ! 

Guru Jan Ko Sadar Pranaam !! 

This little, but powerful, prayer sums up the essence of Diwali (for me).

असतो माँ सद गमया 

तमसो माँ ज्योतिर गमया 

मृत्योर माँ अमृतम गमया 

हे माता ! हे प्रभु !

हम को असत्य से बचा कर सत्य का  मार्ग दिखा !

हमारे अन्दर के अन्धकार और अज्ञानता को मिटा कर ज्योति और सच्चा ज्ञान प्रदान करो !

हम को ऐसे शुभ कर्म करने में समर्थ बना की हमारे संसार से जाने के बाद भी लोग इन कर्मो का फल सदियों तक लेते रहे। यही अमरता है (मेरे लिये ) !

Asato Ma Sad Gamaya

Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya

Mrityor Ma Amritam Gamaya

He Mata ! He Prabhu !

Hum ko asatye se bacha kar satye ka marg dikha.

Hamare andar ke andhkaar aur agyaanta ko mita kar jyoti aur saccha gyan pradaan karo.

Hum ko aise shubh karm karne mein Samarth bana ki hamare sansaar se jaane ke baad bhi log in karmo ka phal sadiyon tak lete rahe. Yahi Amarta hay !

Dear God:

Lead me away from fraud and deception to a life based on truthfulness.

Help me get rid of the darkness, the bad qualities within me that prevent me from associating with and appreciating the good values of my friends, families, neighbours and associates.

Guide and assist me to achieve great legacies that I could leave behind for future generations to enjoy. This is what immortality means (to me).

Prabhu aap ko, aap ke sundar pariwaar ko, is Diwali par khushi, anand aur man ka shanti pradaan kare !

Muskuraate Raho !
