jai guru deva ohm

hay, hindi pa rin ako recovered. hindi pa rin ako maka-focus sa dapat kong gagawin kaya ako andito ngayon sa dlrc, which is gumawa ng paper.

dahil doon, naisipan kong magpalit ng blog title. from hitchin' a ride, ginawa kong jai guru deva, from the beatles' song across the universe. buti na lang at natanong ko kung anong ibig sabihin nito. kaya off to search sa trusty wikipedia.org at eto ang nakita ko:

Jai Guru Deva Om is a mantra mostly known for being recited in the song Across the Universe by the Beatles, released in 1970 and covered by many artists since.

yup, alam na natin ito. mantra pala so parang galing sa buddhist or hindu beliefs. the beatles did spend some time in india, i believe.

Jai means "I give hope", or "thanks to" and can also mean "victory" or "salutations". "Guru" means teacher, and "Dev" means "god" or "heavenly one". The "a" on the end of the word "Dev" in the song appears to have been added by John Lennon, so "Guru Deva" is actually "Guru Dev". "Guru Dev" was mentioned in the song as he was supposed to have been the teacher of Maharishi. "Om" or "Ohm" is the sound of the balance of the universe. Its purpose in the song is to establish contact with the universe.

hmmm... ayos lang naman. so "giving thanks to the teacher". sige idadagdag ko na rin iyong "ohm." yeba!

yehey, buti naisipan kong mag-post nito. hindi na ko ganoon kalungkot. hehe :)
