Birthday song

Feb 7th, 2007 | By admin | Category: other

Do you want to wish someone on their birthday in a more meaningful way than the usual one? Here it is… sing it in sanskrit.

Janma dinamidam ayi priya sakhe
santanotu te sarvada mudam ||
prarthayamahe bhava satayusi
isvarassda tvam ca raksatu||
punya karmana kirtimarajaya
jivanam tava bhavatu sarthakam||

Meaning:
O! Friend, may this birthday of yours
Bring in auspiciousness and happiness.
We pray that you enjoy hundred beautiful years of life, and
May the Lord always protect you.
By your virtuous act, earn fame and
May your life be fulfilling.

Hmm~ This makes more sense than saying “Happy birthday to you…” in several different tunes. Sure this is more difficult to sing too. To make it easier for you, I will try to get a podcast for this.
