Dhamma Ahe Bhimrao Maza

Dhamma Ahe Bhimarao Maza is a musical rendition of our views about the true legacy of Dr. Ambedkar and the right way of leveraging it to uplift ourselves from the our individual, social and environmental misery. This song was written by me and my wife (Pratap Tambay and Prerna Tambay) while stuck in a car on western express highway during the rains of 26th July 2005. Somehow it reflects the sublime mental state we were in despite the surroundings - thereby making it most special for us.

Marathi Lyrics

Dhamma ahe bhimrao maza, Marg tyacha sukh shanticha
Sheel samadhi pradnya karuna, Dhamma dharan kar re taruna
Bhimrao tar gele aata, Dhammach ahe apula trata
Dhamma jyota apuli lava, Vadalat tevat theva
Swtah sathi marg shodha, Deep stambh hovun Teva...
Shikshanachi dhara kaas, Babancha he updesh khas
Durun Kaho baghata saare, Sangh apula saamil vha re
Adhi Sangharsh swatahshi, Mag dusrya samajanshi
Dhamma madhye Bhimrao ahe, Baki kashyat Bhimrao nahi
Dhamma ahe Bhimrao maza...


English Meaning

For me Dhamma is Bhimrao himself, his path is full of peace and tranquility
Purity concentration, discernment love, O young man practice this dhamma
Bhimrao is now gone, Dhamma alone is our savior
Light your dhamma lamp, keep it lighted in the storm
Find your own road to liberation and be an inspiration to others and show them the road
Set your attention on education, this was baba's prime advice
Why are you seeing from far, this is your sangha, join up
First struggle and win your self, then struggle against others
Dhamma alone has Bhimrao, Nothing else has Bhimrao.

How to say and live Jai Bhim

Jai Bhim the salutation used by Ambedkarites has become a mere social identifier. In this song, I lay our my views on how and when to utter it and how one needs to go beyond its utterance to skill building in dhamma and technology for organising ventures capable of ridding the community of its poverty and misery.




Marathi Lyrics
Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Jai Bhim Maza Shikanaryana, Jai Bhim Shikun Ladnaryana
Jai Bhim Nahi Adanayna, Jai Bhim Nahi Niskarmyana

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Shikanaryano, Kashta Kara Re, Kastakaryano Shikshan Ghya Re
Baban Sarakhe Thode Vha Re, Nantar Jai Bhim Mhana Re

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Kaushalya He Buddha Dnyan, Tantradnyan Dhamma Dnyan,
Sanghatana Hi Tumchi Shakti, Sangharsha Ne Deil Mukti

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

English Lyrics
Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

My Jai Bhim is to those getting educated, My Jai Bhim is to those agitating after getting educated
My Jai Bhim is not for those who choose to remain ignorant, My Jai Bhim is not for those who choose to remain non-working

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Those getting educated, please work hard. Those working hard, please get educated
Become a bit like Baba (Dr. Ambedkar), then say Jai Bhim with pride

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Skill is knowledge of Buddha, Technology is knowledge of Dhamma
Organisating these is your power, Through struggle/agitation, it will give you your freedom

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Jai Bhim Version of We Will, We Will, Rock You

Folks, I have merely translated the original lyrics of the famous rock song "We Will, We Will, Rock you" by Queen. It naturally translated into an anthem for the dalit movement. Not sure of Queen's right on the translation. There are some interesting reference to Bramha in the original which gives me the impression that Queen won't mind dalit movement using the song




We Will Rock You lyrics (Original English)We will we will rock you

We will we will rock you
Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place

We will

Buddy you're a young man,hard man
