SoFlo Raas' 2024 - 2025 Competitive Mix

Asvaar, Tongue Tied & Greedy | RAS Album Concept

[Recording of Women Mandali singing Gujarati Aarti of Meher Baba. Traditional Indian Gujarati original tune as sung at Samadhi (pictured) every day (Chorus). Introduction by Eruch Jessawala.] Hear it on the official link here - https://trustmeher.org/meher-baba-places/meherabad/prayers-and-arti 
It is the aarti Baba Himself wrote and composed.
We follow it with an English translation of the  words set to a meditation on Baba's name using the music of the aarti. So the second part of the track is Baba's Gujarati words in English spoken by me and his tune sung  as a mantrum on His Name by Maz.
Boojaaway nar jallatni ay kar
koodratnay farmaa too,
Chhay laggi aash bhaktonay kay
bakshay nooray eema too.

Ayaa Moorshad Meher Baba charanpar
toojna dhariay sar,
Khoodaanaa zaatathi waakef thaee
betho Meherbaa too.

Too chhay maalik hakikatno too
aashek bhi ney aaref bhi,
Too chhay dariyaa-ay wahedat
maaray fatno, ho-ee toofaa too.

Hamo raharav nay aiy saalek bakhash
jay gnyaan Ezadnoo,
Kay too Parmaatmaa, gnyaani chhay
nay mookhtaaray irfaa too

Khoodaanaa Premno piaalo pilaavi mast
hamnay kar,
Chhay toojpar jaan sadkay saakiyaa
aapi day payamaa too.

Hamaari naav bhar dariay taraaway
tow, hamay tariay —
Hamaaraa naakhoodaa aiy Meher Baba
chhay neegabhaa too.

Hamaaraa naakhoodaa aiy Meher Baba
chhay neegabhaa too.

Women Mandali Gujurati Aarti followed by an English translation over His Name sung to the same tune.

It is the aarti Baba Himself wrote and composed.
In this version, we have dubbed an English spoken translation directly onto the recording of the women mandali singing. The picture is Baba's sister Manu.
