Ekdin Maile Prabhu Sanga
by Bhakta Raj Acharya
"Ekdin Maile Prabhu Sanga Sodhe" is a profoundly philosophical Nepali devotional song composed and performed by the revered "Bhajan Shiromani," Bhakta Raj Acharya, with evocative lyrics written by Laxman Lohani. Released on July 14, 1993, under the iconic label Music Nepal as a standout track on the spiritual album Samarpan-2, the bhajan structure is designed as an intimate conversation between a devotee and the divine. The title translates to "One day I asked the Lord," establishing a narrative premise where the singer seeks the ultimate truth about human existence, righteousness, and spiritual liberation (mukti). Acharya’s hauntingly beautiful, classical vocal delivery paired with traditional acoustic instrumentation shapes a meditative atmosphere that continues to captivate listeners on major streaming networks such as Spotify and Shazam.
Lyrically, the song operates as a step-by-step guide to achieving inner peace and enlightenment. It explicitly emphasizes that true peace cannot exist without a stable mind, stability cannot be achieved without contentment, contentment requires a pure heart, and a pure heart is only built upon righteous deeds (satkarma). Lohani's verses outline the destructive nature of human vices, warning that as long as greed, attachment (moha), and anger (krodha) govern the mind, true knowledge and devotion are impossible. The climax of the song delivers a powerful ethical message: the God dwelling within our own hearts cannot rejoice if we cause harm to others. Through this poetic chain of spiritual cause and effect, the track transcends simple ritualistic worship, urging the listener toward deep moral introspection and self-realization.
एकदिन दिन मैले प्रभुसङ्ग सोधेँ कसरी शान्ति मिल्छ
एकदिन दिन मैले प्रभुसङ्ग सोधेँ कसरी शान्ति मिल्छ
कस्तो कस्तो कर्म गरे पछी
कस्तो कस्तो कर्म गरे पछी
प्रभुको दर्शन मुक्ति मिल्छ
प्रभुको दर्शन मुक्ति मिल्छ
एकदिन दिन मैले प्रभुसङ्ग सोधेँ
सत्कर्म नभै चित्त शुद्ध हुदैन चित्त शुद्ध नभै सन्तोष हुदैन
सन्तोष नभै मन स्थिर हुदैन मन स्थिर नभैकन शान्ति हुदैन
एकदिन दिन मैले प्रभुसङ्ग सोधेँ
मोह बासना क्रोध नगैकन कर्म ज्ञान र भक्ती हुदैन
महाज्ञानको तेस्रो आँखा
महाज्ञानको तेस्रो आँखा
नखुली जिवको मुक्ति हुदैन
एकदिन दिन मैले प्रभुसङ्ग सोधेँ
अरुको घातमा माथ घुमाए मन मनको इश्वर हाँस्दैन
अरुको घातमा माथ घुमाए मन मनको इश्वर हाँस्दैन
छ्म छम इश्वर भित्र ननाची
छ्म छम इश्वर भित्र ननाची
शब्दब्रम्हको नाद हुदैन
एकदिन दिन मैले प्रभुसङ्ग सोधेँ
शब्दब्रम्ह्को नाद नभैकन ज्ञान बुद्धिको मेल हुदैन
ज्ञान बुद्धिको मेल नभैकन
ज्ञान बुद्धिको मेल नभैकन
महाज्ञानको उदए हुदैन
एकदिन दिन मैले प्रभुसङ्ग सोधेँ
