The Bolo Hari Craze: Dance of Shakti to Dakini Lounge
Remixers are crazy over mixing the famous Bolo Hari track from Dance of Shakti. In my post on this album, I made a few reference to this track and its remixes. Now that, Mido, I ‘m to explore this craze-creating track here. The lyric (in Hindi Language) is just two line:
“Govinda Bolo Hari Gopala Bolo
Radha Ramana Hari Gopala Bolo”
It means, in simple translation, “enchant Hare Gopala (one of the many names of the Lord Vishnu) the dear one of Radha.”
Shall I proceed with this info? If I do, I’m missing the crux of the craze: Radha. It’s the mention of her name that creates the craze and the beauty to this song. Who is she? Radha is one of the many lovers of Lord Krishna (don’t be confused, Mido, these names Krishna, Gopala, Govinda and many others refer one and the same.) She is said to be the foremost of all 18,000 cowherd-girls with whom Krishna had a nice time in his childhood. What a boon!
I dream I were….
THE GREAT GOSSIP: If you’re a full time reader on celebrity gossip that hangs out everywhere in the internet, there are plenty of chances that you’re bored of this trivial gossip. Nevertheless the habit of gossiping alone still remains. Don’t annoy at yourself; you are not alone. People down the ages have gossiped since the mythological times. Radha for that matter is surrounded by plenty of gossips, her love affair with Krishna and her marriage. Typical classic version of the contemporary gossips “Dates with whom and finally marries whom?” You can read them here and there.
Oops! I never thought I was such a gossiper!
Gossips aside, Radha symbolizes many virtues. Among them all, Devotion Through Love, mAdhura-bhakti, stands as the most prominent. Radha-Krishna pair symbolizes many positive energies: love, play, enjoyment, devotion, peacefulness…. A little reading on her would greatly help you feel the pulse of Bolo Hari which is otherwise taken just for its outer beauty. So it’s these that add glamor to Bolo Hari track than the Gossips that I unknowingly gossiped (like every gossiper!).
The Bolo Hari track comes in four flavors:
Bolo Hari Classic — the original composition of Prem Joshua
Bolo Hari Bombay Lounge Remix — Manish de Moor
Bolo Hari Instant Pudding Mix — Dharma Dogz
Bolo Hari The Blue God Comes to Town Remix — Niraj Chag
More about these individual tracks follow, stay tuned Mido.
