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

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

Krishna Nee Begane Baaro - Kannada Lyrics & Translation

Unveiling the Depths of "Krishna Nee Begane Baaro" Krishna Nee Begane Baaro  (Oh Krishna, Please Come) transcends the realm of a simple  Kannada devotional song . Composed by the revered saint-poet  Vyasatirtha , it offers a powerful expression of devotion and yearning for the divine presence of Lord Krishna. A Melody Steeped in Tradition: The essence of  Krishna Nee Begane Baaro  lies in its music.

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...
