rainy cold day here :) I love the way lata mangeshkar sings this. it's a song by Narsi Mehta.
I was also requested by LordKrishnaMyHero to sing this one, thank you friend, for engaging me in the vaisnava's service. (I didn't do it very well, but like i always say- it was fun :-) Hare Krishna!
rough translation: One who is a vaishnav Knows the pain of others Does good to others, esp. to those ones who are in misery. Does not let pride enter his mind
A Vaishnav, Tolerates and praises the the entire world Does not say bad things about anyone Keeps his/her words, actions and thoughts pure O Vaishnav, your mother is blessed (dhanya-dhanya)
A Vaishnav sees everything equally, rejects greed and avarice. Considers some one else's wife/daughter as his mother. The toungue may get tired, but will never speak lies. Does not even touch someone else's property
A Vaishnav does not succumb to worldly attachments Who has devoted himself to stauch detachment to worldly pleasures. Who has been addicted to the elixir coming by the name of Ram For whom all the religious sites are in the mind
Who has no greed and deciet. Who has renounced lust of all types and anger. The poet Narsi will like to see such a person. By who's virtue, the entire family gets salvation
