Mhara re Giridhar Gopala is a Meera Bhajan close to my heart. I love the song due to the sheer magic of the words & the way its been composed by Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar ji in Miyan ki Malhar as far as I guess.
I got know Mr Rajiv Bhave through Muziboo platform through his uploads & his feed back on my uploads. I am really happy that Rajiv ji approched me to sing this song couple of weeks back. I think beside being a very good human being he also has a great taste of music as well. It is all my pleasure to know him through this song. The track & the mixing, all courtesy by him. Thank you Rajeev ji from the bottom of my heart:).
I will appreciate & welcome any feed backs from all of you.

Here is the write up from Mr Rajjev Bhave:
I have always been fond of this Meera Bhajan and asked Bijayshree to record it and offered to mix it. The track I had was not the greatest but I tweaked it to be presentable. Shree is extremely talented with a great understanding of Hindustani Classical Music. The lyrics and meaning are:Mhara re Girdhar Gopal dusara na koiyaa
(I have Girdhar Gopal and none else)
Sadha sakal lok joyaa dusraa naa koiyaa
(I have seen all the people, but there is no one else)
bhaya chadya bandha chadya chadya saaga soyaa
(My family and my relatives abandoned me)
Sadhu sang baith baith lok laaj khoyaa.
(Associating with saint and sages i lost my prestige in the eyes of people)
Mhara re Girdhar Gopal dusara na koi
Bhaghar dekhiyaa raaji hyaa lagat dekhyaa royaa
(Looking at devotees i felt happy, looking worldly people makes me sad)
dudh math ghrut kadh liya dar diya choyaa
(I churned the milk, saved the milk and discarded the remainder)
Rana vish ro pyaalaa bhejiyaa piy magan hoyaa
(Rana sent a bowlfull of poisen, i drank with devotion and felt one with God)
Meera ri lagan lagyaa hod hoj hoyaa
(Meera is attracted towards the divine krihsna, come what may)
Until next, keep the faith...
Shree
