Ēlō Ēlō Jīvātma: Rejoice in Hari's Name ✨

In this powerful kriti, Sri Purandara Dasa addresses the wandering human mind, questioning its needless worries and distractions. Through vivid metaphors—chewing dry cane when sweetness is at hand, fearing darkness while the sun shines, or seeking other gods when Hari is present—he exposes the futility of worldly pursuits. The song urges purity of heart, surrender to the Supreme Lord, and constant remembrance of Purandara Vittala, the only true source of peace, protection, and eternal joy.
