Ek vairaagi ek sansaari -devotional poem by Indian actor

 


I recently heard a poem (that also has been enacted in Indian traditional dance forms online) and was mesmerized by it. Later, I found that it was actually composed by the Indian actor (Saurabh Raj Jain) while he spent time in Vrindavan. Interestingly, he is well-known for playing the role of Lord Krishna in TV serial Mahabharata and hearing and watching him does make one believe that he is channeling the spirit of Krishna as he holds that aura himself... The recitation of the poem by the amazing actor can be heard here:

The words of the poem are as follows:

"ek vairaagi, 

dooja sansaari

ek damroo se hosh udaave

dooja bansuri ke sur se lubhave

ek kar tandav ahankaar mitave

dooja ungliyon par naach nachave

ek lagake bhasm ramjave

dooja morpankh mathey sajave

ek teesri aankh darave

dooja apni muskaan chalave

ek jataa ganga bahave

dooja yamuna shaant karave

ek maya ke haath na aave

dooja maya ko aap ghumave

ek yog mein dhyan lagave

dooja bhog ke ladoo khave

ek dhyaan main dooje ko sumire

dooja ek main khud khojave

ek vairagi

ek sansaari"
