MUKTI DILAAYE YESHU NAAM

MUKTI DILAAYE YESHU NAAM

The song Mukti Dilaaye Yeshu Naam (Salvation is through the name of Yeshu) is a favorite of most Yeshu bhaktas. It is definitely a "in-your-face" Yeshu song. Therefore, for anyone who is not a Yeshu follower, and likes this song it is considered to be odd. This is the oddity that strikes me about Lux. Lux is Naniji's youngest son. He would never consider himself to be a Yeshu follower yet on Sunday night, again he requested that we sing Mukti Dilaaye. You may remember that I did a blog post recently that he requested we sing Mukti Dilaaye at a satsang and both he and Anju sang openly and loudly. On Sunday night at first we were only three, Kiran, Arjun and me. Arjun left after the 1st hour and for the next hour it was only Kiran and I. For the last hour Lux joined us and for the final song he requested Mukti Dilaaye. 

I cannot but ask myself what is it that attracts him about the song. He knows exactly what he is singing and its not like he doesn't know any other songs. So why Mukti Dilaaye? Is it his way of expressing he desires this mukti? 

Like I said it's not one of your "covert" songs but one that is overtly Yeshu and speaks about the exclusivity of Yeshu - salvation is found through the name of Yeshu. This exclusivity is what most people in the world can't handle, leave alone here in India.

I  remember when I came to visit India for three weeks during June-July of 1997 I learnt Mukti Dilaaye and Kushi, kushi manao in the two weeks I was in Varanasi. The third week I spent in S India in Karnataka. To share Yeshu to those who don't know him I used to sing these two songs - the whole Gospel message is found in these two songs combined. That is a clear indication of it's overtness.

I pray that God may use this song to bring Lux out of darkness into the Light and into eternal life to become a disciple of Yeshu like his mother and sister.
