If they knew the meaning, and sang it along with the meaning then there would have been problems. It is good that most of the people do not understand the meaning of the song. But sometimes a catchy tune like this will keep going on and on in your mind and it will affect you. See, I am not putting down any song, if you want to sing, it is okay to sing Kolaveri Di also no problem. Chant whichever one that you like with a feeling of devotion. Chant Om Namah Shivaya, or Omkar (Om) mantra. Is this is a good song, something which means that you feel like killing someone? That is why I say, just do naam smaran. Do you know what the meaning is? In Tamil, the expression ' Kolaveri di’ means ' I feel like killing someone.'

Many people do not even know the meaning of the song. There is a song called, ' Kolaveri di’ which seems to have become very popular. But there must be some songs that have come up recently that have no meaning at all. Now I have not heard any of the recent songs, as I have not gotten the time. Otherwise you keep singing all sorts of songs in your mind while having bath, or while eating food, like ‘ Dafliwaale Dafli Bajao ‘ (O drummer boy, play me the drums!) What else would a drummer boy play for you if not drums? Is this a song? You can say Narayana, or Jai Gurudev, or even Om Namah Shivaya. What is the difficulty in remembering the Divine before starting any new work? You can chant and remember the Divine by saying anything that you like. When you pray with love and faith that is when you blossom. I would say, don't do it out of fear, rather to do it out of love out of a deep sense of gratitude. If you are going to write an examination, you think of the Divine and pray that the questions in the examinations are easy, and that you are able to write the answers properly.Įveryone prays, whether kids, adults or old people all of them pray.

We all do this, is it not so? We do this even today.

If one buys something new, they must remember Narayana and then begin. So, whenever one opens a new shop, the first thing they must do is naam smaran (remember the name of God), and then they start the shop. The ancient people were very intelligent and they made it a custom. Remember him every night before sleeping while you take a shower even while eating your meals, remember him and thank him for the food you receive.īefore starting something new, remember Him to make it an auspicious beginning. That is why the ancient people have said, keep remembering God all the time by chanting His name ( Narayana). Now, usually your mind is so consumed with thoughts of something or the other, that at the time of death, you may not even remember to chant Narayana. If you observe, the first thought on your mind when you wake up in the morning will be same thought that you had before you went to sleep. So at this time, whatever impression one bears in the mind become the reason for the next birth. It is at the time of death that the mind separates from the body.
