Suddala Ashok Teja illustrates divine impartiality through wind treating kings and paupers equally. The repeated line ‘Ee Chara Chera Jagati Srushtinchi Nadipinchu Okkade Devudu’ defines a single creator across all faith traditions.
Okkade Suryudu Okkade ChandruduThere is only one Sun and only one Moon.
Okkade Aa DevuduThere is only one God.
Ramude Devudani Kolichindi MeeruYou worshipped Rama as the Divine.
Yesu Ne Daivam Ani Talachindi MeeruYou believed that Jesus is the Lord.
Allah Ani Elugetti Pilichindi MeeruYou called out the name of Allah.
E Peru Tho Evaru PiluchukunnaNo matter the name you use to call Him,
E Teeruga Evaru Pujinchinano matter the way you choose to worship,
Ee Chara Chera Jagati Srushtinchi NadipinchuHe is the one who created and guides this entire universe.
Okkade Devudu Okkade DevuduThere is only one God, just one God.
Okkade Aa DevadevuduThere is only one God of Gods.
Okkade Aa DevadevuduThere is only one God of Gods.
Kashaya Dhwajamunetti Pranavaganga KalagalalanuRaising the saffron flag to the sacred chants of ‘Om’.
Hindu Matamannavu NeevuYou called it the Hindu faith.
Aaku Pacha Ketanam Chandra Vanka KalakalanuWith the green banner and the crescent moon’s glow.
Islam Annavu NeevuYou named it Islam.
Siluva Paina Yesu Raktha Kanneerlatho Edalu TadisiWith hearts soaked by the tears of Jesus on the cross.
Kraisthavamani Annavu NeevuYou called it Christianity.
Boudham Ani Jainam Ani Sikh AniWhether it’s Buddhism, Jainism, or Sikhism,
Mokkukune Palu Gundela Palu Pedala Palukedainawhatever prayer is spoken by different hearts and lips,
Ee Chara Chera Jagati Srushtinchi NadipinchuHe is the one who created and guides this entire universe.
Okkade Devudu Okkade DevuduThere is only one God, just one God.
Okkade Aa DevadevuduThere is only one God of Gods.
Okkade Aa DevadevuduThere is only one God of Gods.
Raju Peda Bedham Epudu Chupabondu GaliThe wind never shows a difference between a king and a pauper.
Adi Deva Devuni JaliThat is the mercy of the God of Gods.
Pasidi Medani Puri GudiseniWhether it’s a golden palace or a simple thatched hut,
Bedhamerigi Kuriyabondu Vaanathe rain never discriminates when it falls.
Adi Lokeshvareshwaruni KarunaThat is the compassion of the Lord of the World.
Sati Manavali Hrudaya Alayala KoluvudiriIn the temples of human hearts,
Unnadu Aa Swayambhuvuduthat Self-Manifested Lord resides.
Kulam Ani Matam Ani JatulanaiCaste, religion, and race;
Branti Veeduleave these illusions behind.
Prati Aduguna Tana Rupame PratibimbamugaHis form is reflected in every single step.
Prati Jivini Paramatmaku PratirupamugaEvery living being is a replica of the Supreme Soul.
