It’s a heart-warming track that sees its focus being Christ on one hand; but then on another hand Sita too could not miss being mentioned for she also had great love adoration towards him so much so that people who do not understand Hindi language can well relate with this song since it speaks about universal love in general terms explaining divine feelings involved when two people are genuinely attracted to each other without forcing anything upon them whatsoever no matter what may happen thereafter even unto death itself though all will return home sooner or later. The wording itself goes beyond being literal to take an emotional form showing how Sita felt as she sang praises (bhajans) to her lover God Rama.
The Essence of the Bhajan
Janak Nandini is a bhajan in which Sita shows the deep feelings and respect she has for Lord Ram. A significant point at which Sita views Rama is hinted at by its very title. This state is as much about physical look as it is about spiritual connectivity and deep solemnity.
The words of the song portray the immense love in Sita’s heart as well as her complete trust in Ram. Yogis find in this hymn a perfect way to communicate their love for the godly couple, Ram and Sita.
The complete bhajan in original language
राम को देख कर श्री जनक नंदिनी,
बाग में जा खड़ी की खड़ी रह गयी,
राम देखे सिया माँ सिया राम को,
चारो अँखिआ लड़ी की लड़ी रह गयी….
थे जनकपुर गये देखने के लिए,
सारी सखियाँ झरोकान से झाँकन लगी,
देखते ही नजर मिल गयी दोनों की,
जो जहाँ थी खड़ी की खड़ी रह गयी….
बोली है एक सखी राम को देखकर,
रच दिए है विधाता ने जोड़ी सुघर,
पर धनुष कैसे तोड़ेंगे वारे कुंवर,
सब में शंका बनी की बनी रह गयी….
बोली दूजी सखी छोटन देखन में है,
पर चमत्कार इनका नहीं जानती,
एक ही बाण में ताड़िका राक्षसी,
उठ सकी ना पड़ी की पड़ी रह गयी….
राम को देख कर श्री जनक नंदिनी,
बाग में जा खड़ी की खड़ी रह गयी,
राम देखे सिया माँ सिया राम को,
चारो अँखिआ लड़ी की लड़ी रह गयी….
