ai Guru Deva Om – - You might hear these words followed by ‘Nothings going to change my world….’ and that is because Jai Guru Deva Om is part of a song that made it to the minds and hearts of millions of people around the world as far as India in Asia.
The whole idea behind the song is somewhat vague yet in a way clear about the way that the Beatles try to explain the workings of this human existence in this world. The chorus of the song is very catchy indeed and all you hear the Beatles sing in it is Jai Guru Deva Om, it’s almost like a chant. In fact I think it was inspired by one of the chants that the Beatles chanced upon on their trip to the sub-continent where thousands appeared at the concert hall where they would play.
When it comes to the literal meaning of Jai Guru Deva Om, your guess would be as good as mine – if not better. For that one would have to learn the language of Hindi as it three of the four words in the phrase are
from that very language. This song also came in the movie which was titled after the name of the song: “Across The Universe” and it was indeed a sad song to be playing with an accompanying sad shot of the movie.
There have been a few cover performances of the song as well but while some have sung it slower and some with more beat I personally think that nothing can compare to the original Beatle song which left the world in a state of wonder.
