Vedic Reflections - Shri VishnusahasranAmam (Stanza 44)

The 44th stanza pretty clearly points out to the life giving nature of His Highness Lord Vishnu, how He is the prAnah and prAnadah


vaikunthah purushah prAnah prAnadah pranavah prithuh
hiranyagarbhah shatrughnO vyAptO vAyuradhokshajah

वैकुंठः पुरुषः प्राणः प्राणदः प्रणवः पृथु: |
हिरण्यगर्भः शत्रुघ्नो व्याप्तो वायुरधोक्षजः ||

vaikunthah 
The One Who causes hindrance in the path (kunthah). This is in a positive manner for the hindrance is to those that tend to scatter easily, thus obstructing a negative effect

purushah 
The One Who is the Supreme Person
prAnah 
The One Who is the breath of life, thus, making each jiva breathe and pumps life to the soul
prAnadah 
The One Who puts an end to life at the time of pralayA, thus snatching prAna

The One with the Golden (hiranya) Womb (garbhah), from where Brahma took birth and in turn gave life to the whole universe

vyAptah
The One who permeates all causes (according to Sri P ShankaranArayanan)
vAyuh
The One Who blows as air, thus giving breath, enabling jivas to sustain life

Mere Bina (Lyrics, English Translation)

By
मेरे बिना (Mere Bina) CROOK OST Music - Pritam Singer - Nikhil D'Souza Lyrics - Kumaar MY RATING - 9/10 Reflections A very romantic western number by new comer Nikhil D'Souza. Pritam has crooned Pop hits by Darius and Enrqiue alike to create a magical ballad that hooks you to its smoothness the moment the song starts. Nikhil sounds like Atif at times, but nevertheless is a promsing find!   Lyrics (English Translation) Mere Bina Rehne laga hun Teri hawaon me Behne laga hun I have started living without you... I have started floating in the breeze that you are jaane main kaise tera hua hu mujhe to lagta hai main shayad tere dil ki dua hu Haan Tujhko jo paaya ahan To jeena aaya Ab ye lamha theher jaye tham jaye bas jaye hum Dono ke darmiyaaaaan I don't know how I have become yours I think I am the boon from your heart Yea! Now that I found you...I have learnt to live Now this moment may stop here at this very moment when the two of us are together...

By
Film - Adhwaitham Lyrics - Kaithapram Music - M.G Radhakrishnan Singer - M.G Sreekumar,K.S Chithra MY RATING - 9.9/10 Reflections Nostalgic is what I get to to feel, while listening to this track, I remember I was a little kid, the age of 3 or 4 when 9 year old girls from next door would sing this to me to make me feel happy. The Love ballad that touches the heart as it caresses the fluffy peacock feather of Shri Krishna unto the soul of the listener....Towards the end...you want to sing with the song...and in the end...your heart would crave "ONCE MORE" MG Sreekumar & KS Chitra render their honeytone to the lyrics of Kaithapram & the tune set by Late Shri MG Radhakrishnan. LOVE IT! Lyrics Ambalapuzhe unnikannanodu nee Enthu paribhavam melleyothi vannuvo Kalvilakkukal paathi minni nilkkave Enthu nalkuvaan enne kaathu ninnu nee Thriprasaadhavum mouna chumbanangalum Pankuvakkuvaan odi vannathaanu njaan Raaga chandanam ninte netiyil thodaan Gopa...
