Message of Love Peace and Happiness

There a religion true to the feelings of human-HUMANITY. People should love each other irrespective of caste, creed, race, nationality or religion. Any path of belief should propagate peace, harmony and love. Young guy from Nepal (born 1982) also known to his followers by  His Holiness, Swami Baal Tapaswi Sat Guru Om Nanda, the Supreme Master Godangel  has been doing his best to propagate the concept of PEACE, LOVISM and HAPPINESS. He opined that: If people were focusing on their happiness more than focusing on other's unhappiness we can have paradise.

His message is very touchy in this song. Lyrics in Nepali and English summary is also followed.

संसारी माया विचित्र , मरेर के पो लान्छ र
नगर व्यर्थै लोभी मन , छोडेर जान्छ व्यर्थैको धन
आखेरी एक पेट खानु छ , हाँसी खुशी जीउँनु छ
अधर्म कहिल्यै नसोच्नु , सके पुण्य कमाउँनु ॥

Love is wonderful and no one is going to take after death.Therefore do not be greedy and therefore be good and feel good.

हरियाली रानी बन , सन्तोष राख्नु आफ़्नै मन
नराम्रो कहिल्यै नसोचौं , दु:खको बिउँलाई नछरौं
नराम्रो हुन्छ पापीको मन , नरमाउँनु व्यर्थै मन
लोभीको हुन्छ धेरै धन , हुँदैन सत्य उसको मन ॥

Be satisfied what you have now. Do not think bad and expand the seed of sorrow. 

मृत्युको चक्र छ लोकमा , जन्म मृत्यु यो लोकमा
अरुलाई आँखा नतर्नु , कु-बिचारले नहेर्नु
मायाले हेर्नु सबैलाई , शत्रु मित्र दुवैलाई
दुष्ट बिचार हटाउनु , ज्ञानी बनी मन जित्नु ॥

Avoid wicked feeling and win  hearts by good deeds.

हिँडौं शान्तिको बाटोमा , छोडी असत्य मार्गमा
उच्च राखौं आफ़्नो मन , सत्य गरौं आफ़्नो काम
नजलाउँनु हरियो बन , नरुवाउँनु अरुको मन
सके सबको भलो सोचौं , कुभलो कहिल्यै नसोचौं ॥

Follow the path of the peace. Always feel and think good of others.

बत्ती बालौं मन्दिरमा , पुण्य कमाउँने खातिरमा
शुद्ध मनले ध्यान गरौं , सत्यको बाटोमा मन डोरयौं
बाटोमा काँढा हटावो , सुन्दर फ़ूल फ़ुलावो
मान्छेमा भेद भाव नगरौं , कु बिचारलाई सुधारौं ॥

Light lamps in temple, do mediation and never discriminate people.

वैगुणीलाई गुण गर्नु , रिस राग फ़ाल्दिनु 
नदिनु दु:ख कसैलाई , धनि गरिब दुवैलाई
बिचार ठूलो लिएर , सबलाई माया गरेर
अमुल्य बन्छ जीवन यो , राम्रो काम गरेर ॥

By having great feeling, helping and loving life will became jewel.

हिरा मोती भन्दा महंगो यो , अमुल्य छ है जीवन यो
संसार छ है बिचित्र , राम्रो सोचौं मन भित्र
मनमा धर्म भरेर , हिडौं धर्म गरेर
गरौं मनलाई फ़ूल जस्तो , पूर्णीमाको जून जस्तो ॥

Life is priceless so with the heart with compassion/ dharma.Make yourself like a shining full moon.

शरिर पापले भरेता , जादैन सागर तरेर
सङ्लो राख्नु जल जस्तो , नपार्नु धमिलो हिलो जस्तो
सोच्नु हुन्न अधर्म , मनमा राख्नु सत्कर्म 
धर्मले गर्छ सबको हित , ईश्वर सित लाउँनु मित ॥

Do not pollute the environment. Love God as compassion will do good to all.

पञ्च त्वत्वले बनेको , खै कस्तो मान्छेको शरिर यो
कुन दिन मर्छ थहा छैन , मरेर जन्मिने हो की हैन
यस्तो मान्छेको चोलामा , मनलाई राखौं धर्ममा
शरिर त एक दिन मर्नु छ , ढुँगा माटोमा मिल्नु छ ॥ 

Life is made of 5 elements and no one knows the death.Therefore put your thinking to dharma/compassion.

आत्मा त उडेर गई जान्छ , पाप लोक भएरै रहन्छ
उडेर जाने यो आत्मा , पुगिन्छ कुनी कुन ठाउँमा
शरिर त आगोले खाईजान्छ , खरानी पो भईजान्छ
धर्म गरे स्वर्गमा , पाप गरे नर्कमा ॥

Soul will leave body after death and only our deeds are here to remain. Do good and be kind to go to heaven and loved by all.
