Jaag Uthe Damrudhari Lyrics – Nikhar Juneja | Bhakti Bhajan

Jaag Uthe Damrudhari Song Description

This song "Jaag Uthe Damrudhari" is a powerful devotional and awakening hymn. It is sung, composed, and written by Nikhar Juneja, who is also the founder of the Wagheshwari Mata Mandir. He handled the song's Music Production, Mixing, and Mastering, and the Music Label is also Nikhar Juneja.

The song begins with a profound message: "Ab Na Tu Sakal Kaamna Kar, Naash Ye Atal Hai", meaning abandon all desires because destruction is certain. The song depicts the power of Lord Shiva's wrath and justice, where every sin will be struck and the moment of total annihilation will arrive. Lines like "Prayaas Saare Karmakaand, Dusht Kyon Vikal Hai?" reveal that all rituals and efforts fail in the face of evil, for Lord Shiva's third eye has opened and repentance will no longer suffice.

The song features lines like "Dhadhak Rahi Chita Ki Agni, Jag-Prakaash Ho", which describe the fire that illuminates the world, and prays to Lord Shiva for "Tripura-Vinaash" (the destruction of the three cities of evil). It repeatedly chants the declaration "Jaag Uthe Damrudhari" with the rallying cry "Bam Bam Bam", signifying that the Damru-bearing Lord Shiva has awoken and will illuminate the entire world with his power. Lines like "Hua Bhasm Raman Naad Bhaari" show the terrible power of Shiva's sound and destruction. The song states that the effect of sins and the journey of the Kali Yuga (the current age of strife) are ongoing, and greedy people keep their eye on the first reward, while even those who take God's name are fearful.

In later sections, the song shows Shiva in his dual forms, both fearsome and compassionate, as Mahakaal. Lines like "Karuna Vo Kaal Bhi, Mahesh Mahakaal Bhi" tell that Shiva is both merciful and wrathful; he is the benevolent one of heaven and also the one who manages hell. The song ends with emphatic mentions of "Tripura-Vinaash" and "Sarva-Naash" (total annihilation), signaling the destruction of evil and the victory of righteousness. Overall, this song is a powerful fusion of devotion, awakening, and justice, glorifying Shiva and invoking the destruction of evil.
