Sarvam Brahma mayam (Lyrics in the description)- Dr Manikantan's version

(See lyrics below)
This bhajan has been sung in The Art of Living satsangs for over 2 decades with only the first line repeated several times as follows:-
'Sarvam Brahma Mayam Re...Sarvam Brahma Mayam...
Sarvam Brahma Mayam Re...Sarvam Brahma Mayam...'

The tune of this song just 'happened' to me, as an expression of my feelings in the moments of a 'lost state' (a state that you all can relate to, based on your personal experience in life) one day, a couple of years ago!! 🌷

Lyrics courtesy to : Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Smt. Urmila Bowman who gave it the form of the lyrics as sung by me in this video. 🙏🙏

Needless to say, the song became an 'instant hit' in the first #satsang that I sang it, obviously in the physical presence of Gurudev !! I got my 'award' and reward when Gurudev said, 'The song is beautiful' as He was walking to 'Ganga' (NOT the river Ganges) at the International Art of Living Ashram Campus, Bangalore. 😊😍😇

POOR AUDIO-VIDEO QUALITY REGRETTED !

सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं रे… सर्वं ब्रह्ममयम्…
सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं रे… सर्वं ब्रह्ममयम्…

जीवन खेल है सगुण ब्रह्म का, निर्गुण उसका रूप
नाम-रूप-विषयों से परे वो, सबका सत्यस्वरूप

सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं रे… सर्वं ब्रह्ममयम्…
सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं रे… सर्वं ब्रह्ममयम्…

जाति-गोत्र-कुल-देश-काल से परे वो तत्वविचार
देह-बुद्धि गुण-दोष परे, उस परम को प्रीति निहार

सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं रे… सर्वं ब्रह्ममयम्…
सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं रे… सर्वं ब्रह्ममयम्…

जगत है माया का सपना, तू ने एकता इससे मानी
तेरा मेरा करत रोता जाग ज़रा अज्ञानी

सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं रे… सर्वं ब्रह्ममयम्…
सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं रे… सर्वं ब्रह्ममयम्…
