Entertaining Sales Pitch Songs – 8
—————————————————–
दुनिया के बाज़ार में सब कुछ बिकता है, भगवान भी ।
(In this marketplace of the world, everything sells, even God.)
Here we have a small child who is selling God. Well, not exactly. He is selling small clay figurines of various Hindu Gods. This scenario is not unique to our country or this religion. In every society across the globe, wherever there is a worship of a personal God with a form, one can witness such vendors who sell the prevalent and the accepted images of the Almighty. Even in religions and faiths where the worship is of a formless God, and it is not possible to create images of Him, we have an abstract representation in form of words and scripts that replace the image. The concept and this need of the human mind to relate to a God like entity is and has been a powerful driving force for people across the ages and across the continents. Whatever may be the belief system, one will always find symbols or tokens or images or words, available to be purchased, for a price, at centers of worship and pilgrimage.
In our Bhakti tradition, it is said that the Almighty is so benevolent, that He will do anything for His devotees. He is even ready to be sold at the hands of His devotees in the marketplace, if that means happiness and benefit for the devotee. That is, as they say, is the power of love. Of course, it means livelihood for many people. It also means big business for some.
And yes, of course, with the film songs promising to sell anything and everything, how could this song not have been written. And this is not a solitary example. There are at least two more similar songs that I have heard. One is “Dus Paise Mein Ram Le Lo” from the 1968 film ‘Ek Phool Ek Bhool’; the second one I am unable to readily recall.
This song is from the film ‘Naag Mohini’ from 1963. On screen, the song is performed by Master Babloo. In the scene, we see him accompanying a lady, (Vijaya Chaudhry on screen) probably his mother in the film. The film is directed by Shantilal Soni for the production banner Dimple Films, Bombay. The lyrics of this song are written by Bharat Vyas and the music is by Sardar Malik. Besides the two performers named above, the cast of actors includes Mahipal, Rajan Haksar, Indra Bansal, Rajrani, Khurshid, Sundar, Umadutt, and Sood. The singing voice in this song is that of Suman Kalyanpur.
Now coming close to the end of this series the way I had planned it, two more very interesting sales pitch song are to be posted. This series is just a sampler, of some of the more obscure sales pitch songs. The next episode is going to be a very unique and one of its kind sales pitch, one that you may not expect to see played out as a song. But before that, let us see today’s song about the images of God being sold.
Listen and enjoy.
Song – Ram Bechne Aaya Hoon Hanuman Bechne Aaya Hoon (Naag Mohini) (1963) Singer – Suman Kalyanpur, Lyrics – Bharat Vyas, MD – Sardar Malik
jise dhoondhte thak gayi duniya
usey pakad kar laaya hoon
hum sab ko jo ghade
aaj main usey hi ghad kar laaya hoon
ram bechne aaya hoon
hanuman bechne aaya hoon
pet ki khaatir main apna
bhagwan bechne aaya hoon
ram bechne aaya hoon
hanuman bechne aaya hoon
pet ki khaatir main apna
bhagwan bechne aaya hoon
koi ram bhakt bolo
hanuman bhakt bolo
bhagwan bhakt bolo
main ram bechne aaya hoon
hanuman bechne aaya hoon
pet ki khaatir main apna
bhagwan bechne aaya hoon
ye hain apne kishan muraari
bansi jinko pyaari hai
ye hain apne kishan muraari
bansi jinko pyaari hai
ye hai gori gori radha
mohan ki matwaari hai
soond hilaate gajaanand ye
soond hilaate gajaanand ye
jinki shobha nyaari hai
gapaa gapp khaate laddu
choohe ki karen sawaari hai
do paise main arjun sa
balwaan bechne aaya hoon
pet ki khaatir main apna
bhagwan bechne aaya hoon
pet ki khaatir main apna
bhagwan bechne aaya hoon
ye hai apni lachhmi maata
chhan chhan jo bhandaar bhare
ye hai apni lachhmi maata
chhan chhan jo bhandaar bhare
ye hai gusse waali chandi
jo dushman par waar karey
ye hai apna naarad baaba
naaraayan naaraayan
ye hai apna naarad baaba
baaten do ki chaar karey
ye hai bhola bhaala shambhu
sabka bedaa paar karey
sabhi devtaaon ka main
vardaan bechne aaya hoon
pet ki khaatir main apna
bhagwan bechne aaya hoon
koi ram bhakt bolo
hanuman bhakt bolo
bhagwan bhakt bolo
main ram bechne aaya hoon
hanuman bechne aaya hoon
pet ki khaatir main apna
bhagwan bechne aaya hoon
pet ki khaatir main apna
bhagwan bechne aaya hoon
pet ki khaatir main apna
bhagwan bechne aaya hoon

जिसे ढूंढते थक गई दुनिया
उसे पकड़ कर लाया हूँ
हम सबको जो घड़े
आज मैं उसे ही घड़ कर लाया हूँ
राम बेचने आया हूँ
हनुमान बेचने आया हूँ
पेट की खातिर मैं अपना
भगवान बेचने आया हूँ
राम बेचने आया हूँ
हनुमान बेचने आया हूँ
पेट की खातिर मैं अपना
भगवान बेचने आया हूँ
कोई राम भक्त बोलो
हनुमान भक्त बोलो
भगवान भक्त बोलो
मैं राम बेचने आया हूँ
हनुमान बेचने आया हूँ
पेट की खातिर मैं अपना
भगवान बेचने आया हूँ
ये हैं अपने किशन मुरारी
बंसी जिनको प्यारी है
ये हैं अपने किशन मुरारी
बंसी जिनको प्यारी है
ये है गोरी गोरी राधा
मोहन की मतवारी है
सूंड हिलाते गजानन्द ये
सूंड हिलाते गजानन्द ये
जिनकी शोभा न्यारी है
गपा गप्प खाते लड्डू
चूहे की करें सवारी है
दो पैसे में अर्जुन सा
बलवान बेचने आया हूँ
पेट की खातिर मैं अपना
भगवान बेचने आया हूँ
पेट की खातिर मैं अपना
भगवान बेचने आया हूँ
ये है अपनी लछमी माता
छन छन जो भंडार भरे
ये है अपनी लछमी माता
छन छन जो भंडार भरे
ये है गुस्से वाली चंडी
जो दुश्मन पर वार करे
ये है अपना नारद बाबा
नारायण नारायण
ये है अपना नारद बाबा
बातें दो की चार करे
ये है भोला भाला शंभू
सबका बेड़ा पार करे
सभी देवताओं का मैं
वरदान बेचने आया हूँ
पेट की खातिर मैं अपना
भगवान बेचने आया हूँ
कोई राम भक्त बोलो
हनुमान भक्त बोलो
भगवान भक्त बोलो
मैं राम बेचने आया हूँ
हनुमान बेचने आया हूँ
पेट की खातिर मैं अपना
भगवान बेचने आया हूँ
पेट की खातिर मैं अपना
भगवान बेचने आया हूँ
पेट की खातिर मैं अपना
भगवान बेचने आया हूँ
