What is Jai Guru Deva Om?
1.
It was said in the beatles song "Across the Universe". Most simple translation is:
"I give thanks to Guru Dev (heavenly teacher) om"
Om is just a sound. However a more detailed translation is:
"Jai" means "O Hail" or "Victory to"
"Guru" means "Teacher"
"Deva" means "God/Lord/Demi-God"
"om" some say is the source of all existence that comes from vibration
Note Guru Dev was a Maharishi's teacher
Jai guru deva om
Nothing gonna change my world
Nothing gonna change my world
Nothing gonna change my world
Nothing gonna change my world
2.
From the ancient Saskrit language.
It means "Victory to God Devine", most accurately. "OM" is the vibration of the universe, with which one who meditates desires to be in tune.
Most popularly:
Jai guru deva OM
nothing's gonna change my world
