Vaishnav Janato with Lyrics and Meaning in English
One who is a true devotee of God (Vaishnava)
Feels the pain of others
Helps those who are in misery
But never lets ego or pride enter his mind
Respects the entire world
He does not belittle anyone
He keeps his words, actions and thoughts pure
sees all equally, renounces greed and avarice
Views others as extensions of his family
Their tongue might get tired, but he will never speak falsehood
His hands would never touch the property of another
does not succumb to worldly attachments
Detached from worldly pleasures
encompasses the absence of greed and deceit
Renounced all types of lust and anger
The author of this poem (Narsi) would be grateful to meet such a soul
Who, by his virtue, liberates their entire lineage.
