~"NOTHINGS GOING TO CHANGE MY WORLD"-"JAI GURU DEV A OHM"~
FROM YAHOO ANSWERS- WHAT DOES 'JAI GURU DEV A OHM' MEAN
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
Guru Deva, actually it is Guru Dev, is incited in the song because he was the Maharishi's teacher. He is an actual person, and they invoked him in their meditation every day. The name actually has meaning in itself. A Guru is a teacher, or spiritual leader of sorts. Dev, according to some other sites I went to, means god or heavenly one. As stated, Maharishi's actual teacher's name was Guru Dev. John Lennon appeared to take the liberty adding the "a"on the end. Jai means, and there are several meanings I have for this, "I give hope, or thanks to", this I was told, but some sites say it means, "victory" or "salutations". Om, is probaby the easiest part to explain. Om is believed to be the natural vibration of the universe. Hence, when many meditate, they make the "ooohhhmmmm" sound. They are trying to bring in that vibration of the universe. ACROSS THE UNIVERSE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS,BUT SOMETIMES JUST THE CHANT ALONG CAN BRING ME PEACEALTHOUGH i SHOULD AMEND THE GURU DEV PRT SINCE i DON'T KNOW THE TEACHINGS OF DEV OR EVEN THE MAHARISHNI!!I'M FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO INTEGRATE MULTIPLE FAITHS THUS SPOKE THE REV.STRANGE /ALEXAVIER
