Swami Vishwananda Arati - translation please

[Sirona]

Hare Krishna,

could somebody translate these lyrics for me and tell me what language it is? This is the arati song the followers of Swami Vishwananda use to worship their guru. I just understand single words I found the tune with variants of the lyrics online so I suppose it is derived from a traditional Hindu song. Thanks.


Ananda Mangala Karu Arati

Hari Guru Santa Ki Seva

Prema Dhari Mandira Para Avo

Sundara Sukunda Leva

Mere Angane Tulasi Ni Kiyaro

Saligram Ki Seva

Arasatha Tiratha Guruji Ke Charan Me

Mata Pita Ki Seva

Santa Mile To Maha Sukha Pave

Guriji Mile To Meva

Kaha Pritam Tere Bhaktajanoke

Hari Ke Jan Hari Seva

It's Gujrati if I'm not mistaken. I think. Basically venerating the Saints and singing their praises.

 

[Aupmanyav]

I can translate it, but I am against gurus and mushroom sects, so I would not do it. It is Hindi.

OK, I will do the translation for you but I would never surrender my individuality to any guru. I do not believe in "Gurur Brahma, gurur Vishno, gurur devo Maheshwarah ..".

I do blissful and auspicious worship
Sundar Sukund leva (?)
I have a Tulsi bed in my courtyard
Worship Saligrama
See my pilgrimage in the feet of the guru
Worship mother and father
Meeting good people gives great pleasure
If guru meets then no pleasure like it
Said, O Beloved, for your worshipers
If you serve God's people then you are serving God

Mundane, cliche ridden word salad.

Thank you very much!

 

[Aupmanyav]

Very nice, Satyamevajayanti.

 

[Satyamavejayanti]

Dhanyavad all, although in the Hindi version when i sing it in my head it makes more "Bhakti", sense but it is hard to translate to English.

 

[Shantanu]

I appreciate your concern. Thanks!

Without gurus, one is without knowledge, but the greatest guru is within one.
