Ajeet Kadkade’s Nighalo Gheun Dattachi Palakhi Lyrics Translation
Pravin Davne’s words frame the journey as a profound honor rather than a physical task. The role of a bearer is described as a reward earned from the good deeds of seven lifetimes. The song details sensory information, from the sandalwood-like breeze to the velvet furnishings.
Aadi Gurusi VandaveFirst, you must bow to the Guru.
Mag Sadhan SaadhaveThen, you can begin your spiritual practice.
Guru Mhanje Maay BaapThe Guru is your mother and father.
Naam Gheta Hartil PaapChanting their name washes away your sins.
Guru Mhanje Aahe KashiThe Guru is like the holy city of Kashi.
Saati Tirth Taya PashiAll seven sacred pilgrimages reside with them.
Tuka Mhane Aise GuruTuka says of such a Guru,
Charan Tyache Hridayi DharooLet’s hold their feet within our hearts.
