Ber Chalya Mera Bhai by Mahesha Ram

O wise one, I was the first to be born • Then my elder brother • With great fanfare my father was born • In the end my mother • All things seem possible in the upside-down world of Kabir! An ant carries an elephant for her dowry; the baby in the womb speaks but not the child that is born. What does it all mean? We, who are ever seeking for meanings, and perhaps ever failing, are baffled by the ‘ulatbaansi’ form, which takes great delight in confounding our quests for meaning. Perhaps it is we, not Kabir, who are looking at the world upside-down, the wrong way round. • *** • Find lyrics/translation of this song at • http://ajabshahar.com/songs/details/8... • Discover a universe of Bhakti, Sufi, Baul poetry and music at http://www.ajabshahar.org. • *** • This poem springs to life in a song embodied in the voice of a young and handsome Mahesha Ram ji in the year 2006, when we recorded with him in Pugal, Rajasthan. That Mahesha Ram ji derives the utmost rasa from his music, that he tastes and savours its nectar, is amply evident when he sings. He belongs to Chhatangadh village near Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, and represents the folk style of the Meghwal community, who are the traditional carriers of the poetry of many bhakti poets including Kabir, keeping it alive through a powerful oral tradition.
