Music, when the lyrics describe some purposeful emotion or thought. These posts are in a mix of English/Hindi or English/Kannada pairs. With the advent of Google's transliteration, it is unnecessary to have inconsistent and misleading hand-crafted English transliterations of originals, for Hindi and Kannada in this blog's case. [If a transliteration is required, it can always be produced by software]. Hindustani ragas are shown in Devanagari, e.g., ♫देश; Carnatic, in Kannada, e.g., ♫ಖರಹರಪ್ರಿಯ.

वैष्णव जन तो ...
No collection of songs would be complete if the most favorite bhajan of Mahatma Gandhi were not included. October 2 is Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. The song goes on to define what a Vaishnav, i.e., a liberated one, is by elaborating on various characteristics of such an individual.
Since the original lyrics were composed in Gujarati, I won't give the lyrics here, but refer you instead to other web pages through the buttons below.

La Isla Bonita
The lilting music of this song is a delight for the ears. Madonna reminisces about an island that she once visited (either for real or in imagination).
