Colonial Discourse and the Suffering of Indian American Children Book Cover.webp
We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage.

AAaa ghar mere Mayya

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

Aaja maa ghar mere aaja maa ghar mere
Maan le mera kahana maiya
Wari jau tere aaja maa ghar mere
Aaja maa ghar mere

Please agree to my words mother, I would sacrifice myself to you.
Oh mother please come to my house, Oh mother lease come to my house,
Please agree to my words, mother.
I would sacrifice myself to you.Please come to my house mother,
Oh mother please come to my home.

Tera pujari mera sara parivar maa
Tere shub charno se humko bada pyar maa
Tere dularo ko hai tera intzaar maa
Aaja ek baar maa hoga bada upkar maa
Jot mere ghar me jalti hai teri shaam sabere
Aaja maa ghar mere aaja maa ghar mere
Maan le mera kahana maiya wari jau tere
Aaja maa ghar mere aaja maa ghar mere

My entire family are your priests, oh mother,
WE have great love to your auspicious feet mother,
Your darlings are eagely waiting for you mother,
Oh Mother today for once, it would become a great help,
The lamp in my house is burning during your evening and morn,
Please come to my house oh mother, Please come to my house oh mother,
Please listen to my words oh mother, I would sacrifice myself to you,
Please come to my home, Please come to my home.

Hatho mein teri mehandi pyar se rachayenge
Foolo se tera darbaar maa sajayenge
Chandan ki chauki pe tujhe ham bithayenge
Saari saari rat maiya bhete sunayenge
Sanso ki ektara maiya tere naam ki mala fere
Aaja maa ghar mere aaja maa ghar mere
Maan le mera kahana maiya wari jau tere
Aaja maa ghar mere aaja maa ghar mere

With love we will decorate our hands with your mehandhi,
With flowers I will decorate your sanctum, Oh mother,
I would make you sit in the temple made of sandalwood,
And the entire night mother, I would sit and make you listen,
With the lyre of my breath, I would rotate the rosary of your names,
Please come to my house oh mother, Please come to my house oh mother,
Please listen to my words oh mother, I would sacrifice myself to you,
Please come to my home, Please come to my home.

Tu hai vishvaas maiya tu hi meri astha
Der naa lagana tujhe mamata ka wasta
Teri gufa se meri kutiya ka rasta
Lamba nahi hai daati tujhako bhi hai pata
Ek jhalak dekhu teri to man ke mite andhere
Aaja maa ghar mere aaja maa ghar mere
Maan le mera kahana maiya wari jau tere
Aaja maa ghar mere aaja maa ghar mere

You are my belief oh mother, you are my wealth,
Please do not delay further, for the sake of love towards me,
From your cave starts the my path to my shelter,
And is s not very far off and this only you know,
If I am able to take a glance at you, the darkness of mind would vanish,
Please come to my house mother, Please come to my house mother,
Please listen to my words oh mother, I would sacrifice myself to you,
Please come to my home, Please come to my home
