Joy Jagannath Lyrics
আদি হতে যে আলোর
চলাচল নীলাচলে,
মন চলো সেই ধামে
ত্রাতা যাকে লোকে বলে।
আদি হতে যে আলোর
চলাচল নীলাচলে,
মন চলো সেই ধামে
ত্রাতা যাকে লোকে বলে।
বিশ্বপালক হরি মাটিতে এলেন নেমে
জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী, ভবতু মে।
জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী, ভবতু মে ..
পরম ব্রহ্ম যিনি
দারুক ব্রহ্মে তিনি,
এলেন আপন মনে সাগরজলে।
অপূর্ণ মুরতিতে
পূর্ণতা ভক্তিতে,
করেন দৈবখেলা লীলাচ্ছলে।
তাঁর মন্দিরদ্বারে যমরাজও যায় থেমে
জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী, ভবতু মে।
জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী, ভবতু মে ..
মনের বাসনা যত
সে চরণে সমাহিত,
ঘুচে যায় শোকতাপ পেলে দরশন।
জগতের নাথ তুমি
যেখানেই ভুলে ভ্রমী,
তুমি জীবন্ত সত্যনারায়ণ।
তুমিই জাগাও প্রভু যদি থাকি ঘুমে
জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী, ভবতু মে।
আদি হতে যে আলোর
চলাচল নীলাচলে,
মন চলো সেই ধামে
ত্রাতা যাকে লোকে বলে।
বিশ্বপালক হরি মাটিতে এলেন নেমে
জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী, ভবতু মে।
জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী, ভবতু মে ..
Meaning of Joy Jagannath Lyrics
From the very beginning of creation, a divine light, eternal and infinite, has been flowing toward নীলাচল, the sacred land of Lord Jagannath. This is what the poet refers to in the line “আদি হতে যে আলোর চলাচল নীলাচলে”, symbolizing that the divine presence has always been anchored there. The soul is gently urged in the joy jagannath lyrics line “মন চলো সেই ধামে ত্রাতা যাকে লোকে বলে” to turn its focus toward that sacred abode, where the one whom the world knows as the saviour resides. This is not a physical destination. Rather, it is an inward spiritual movement, a call to return to the source.
Jagannath is no ordinary deity. As described in the phrase “বিশ্বপালক হরি মাটিতে এলেন নেমে”, He is the protector of the universe who descended onto Earth. His presence is both cosmic and personal. He is called “জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী”, which means the one who walks the path of the eyes. In other words, His essence can be experienced simply through দর্শন (sacred viewing), where the eyes become a medium for connecting with the divine. When the joy jagannath lyrics says “জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী, ভবতু মে”, it becomes a heartfelt prayer: “May this Lord, who moves along the path of my vision, become mine and dwell within me.”

At a deeper spiritual level, the poet refers to Jagannath as “পরম ব্রহ্ম যিনি”, the Supreme Absolute who chooses to appear in a tangible form. This is expressed in the phrase “দারুক ব্রহ্মে তিনি”, meaning divinity manifested in wood. This highlights the unique belief that the infinite God willingly takes on a finite, carved form out of love and compassion. The line “এলেন আপন মনে সাগরজলে” indicates that His arrival in this world was not compelled by rituals or human intervention. Instead, it was a voluntary and mysterious crossing over the cosmic ocean.
Although His form may seem incomplete, which the poet captures with “অপূর্ণ মুরতিতে”, the faith of the devotee perceives it as whole. Through “পূর্ণতা ভক্তিতে”, the imperfection is transformed into spiritual perfection. His divine play, or দৈবখেলা লীলাচ্ছলে, unfolds beyond the grasp of human reasoning. Such is the sanctity of His presence that even যমরাজ, the god of death, must pause at the door of His temple. This is expressed in the line “তাঁর মন্দিরদ্বারে যমরাজও যায় থেমে”.

joy jagannath lyrics then focus shifts inward, toward the heart of the devotee. In the joy jagannath lyrics line “মনের বাসনা যত সে চরণে সমাহিত”, the poet acknowledges that all worldly desires find rest at the Lord’s feet. His presence brings peace and emotional relief. The line “ঘুচে যায় শোকতাপ পেলে দরশন” means sorrow and suffering are dispelled upon seeing Him. Even when the devotee is lost or wandering, as mentioned in “যেখানেই ভুলে ভ্রমী”, the Lord remains the জীবন্ত সত্যনারায়ণ, the living embodiment of truth.
Finally, there is a humble admission of human weakness in the line “তুমিই জাগাও প্রভু যদি থাকি ঘুমে”. It is a sincere plea that even if I fall asleep in forgetfulness or delusion, O Lord, may You be the one to awaken me. Joy jagannath lyrics reflects a deep yearning. No matter how lost the soul becomes, the divine should remain close and compassionate. As the refrain returns, “জগন্নাথস্বামী নয়নপথগামী, ভবতু মে”, it echoes with both devotion and longing. The devotee prays that the Lord, who moves along the path of their vision, always remain theirs.
