Guru Vara Banthamma

Guru   Vara  Banthamma

(Thursday  has  come)

Translated by 

P.R.Ramachander

(This is a famous song sung by  DR,Rajkumar and is greatly popular among devotees of Guru Raghavendra in  cinema called BHagyavatha  . I have taken the lyrics from  meerasubbarao.wordpress.   You can hear it sung by Dr. Rajakumar  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yLSJRivSqA )

guruvAra baMtamma gururAyara neneyamma
guruvAra baMtamma gururAyara neneyamma
smaraNe mAtradali klEsha kaLedu sadgatiya koDuvanamma

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya,

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya

Just   by  thought, he would remove our problems and  grant us salvation

vAra baMtamma guruvAra baMtamma
rAyara neneyamma gururAyara neneyamma

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya,

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya

That sage would come    and good would  come  ,

The  Ragavendra  Guru would come   and remove   the disease  of Samsara ,

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya,

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya

You wash your mind and place   there  the seat of  devotion,

If you call him    after meditation, he would come  and sit there,

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya,

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya

kOpa ariyanamma yAranu doora tallanamma

He does not know anger, and yhe would never push away anybody,

And he would see him   like a baby   coming attracted by words of love.

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya,

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya

hiMde baruvanamma rAyara neraLinaMte hanuma

Hanuman would come beg hind him like  the shadow of Rayar,

And through Hanuman from Rama   he would give you salvation,

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya,

The Thursday has come  . remember   the   great Guru Raya
