brOchEvArevaru rA – khamAs – chaturasra tripuTa

In this popular song, Mysore Vasudevacharya entreats Rama not to be indifferent to protect him. He expresses that Rama’s virtues and merciful nature are beyond any description by him.

P	బ్రోచే వారెవరురా నిను వినా రఘు వరా నీ చరనాంబుజ మును నేవిడజాల కరుణాల వాల ||	Who is there other than you to protect me, oh the most esteemed one of the Raghu dynasty? I can never leave your lotus feet, oh embodiment of mercy. ||
AP	ఓ చతురాననాది వందిత నీకు పరాకేల నయ్య నీ చరితము పొగడ లేను నా చింత తీర్చి వరములిచ్చి వేగమె||	Oh lord that is bowed by Brahma and other Gods, why is this indifference towards me? Your life and nature are beyond my description (praise). You please assuage my agony. Bestow me your grace soon. ||
C	సీతాపతే నా పై నీ కభిమానము లేదా వాతాత్మజా ర్చిత పాద నా మొరలను విన రాదా	Oh lord of Sita, have you no interest in me? Anjaneya, the son of the wind God, worships your feet. Why don’t you pay heed to my lamentation? ||
C	ఆతురముగ కరి రాజుని బ్రోచిన వాసు దేవుడె నీవు కదా నా పాతక మెల్ల పోగొట్టి గట్టిగ నా చేయి బట్టి విడువక ||	Are you not the same Vasudeva who rescued the king of elephants expeditiously? Kindly dispel all my sins and hold my hand firmly. ||

The Pangea Day - May 10th

The Pangea Day Mission & Purpose

Pangea Day (Pan= Entire; Gea= Earth) is a global event bringing the world together through film.

Why? In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that – to help people see themselves in others – through the power of film.

The Pangea Day Event

Starting at 18:00 GMT on May 10, 2008, locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers. The entire program will be broadcast – in seven languages – to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones.

The 24 short films to be featured have been selected from an international competition that generated more than 2,500 submissions from over one hundred countries. The films were chosen based on their ability to inspire, transform, and allow us see the world through another person's eyes. Details on the Pangea Day films can be viewed here.

The program will also include a number of exceptional speakers and musical performers. Queen Noor of Jordan, CNN's Christiane Amanpour, musician/activist Bob Geldof, and Iranian rock phenom Hypernova are among those taking part.

What Will Happen After Pangea Day

People inspired by Pangea Day will have the opportunity to participate in community-building activities around the world. Through the live program, the Pangea Day web site, and self-organized local events, everyday people will be connected with extraordinary activists and organizations.

Many of the films and performances seen on Pangea Day will be made available on the Web and via mobile phone, alongside open forums for discussion and ideas for how to take social action.

A Pangea Day documentary will be created to catalyze future activities, and dozens of talented filmmakers will make strides in their careers.

History

In 2006, filmmaker Jehane Noujaim won the TED Prize, an annual award granted at the TED Conference. She was granted $100,000, and more important, a wish to change the world. Her wish was to create a day in which the world came together through film. Pangea Day grew out of that wish. Watch Jehane Noujaim’s 2006 acceptance speech now.
