[eggnoy]

[8beatlesfan]

Y do ppl get on here and argue about what John Lennon was thinking when he wrote his songs like the saying jai guru deva I'm sure if he wanted ppl to know what it meant then he would have just came out and said it or maybe he just doesn't want anyone to know maybe it was something personal no one will ever know what was going through this great musician and song writers head when he wrote any of his songs who cares they have meaning only in where u inturpret the lyrics not what he was saying so

[ancientgreeks12]

what language is it when he says "Jai duru deva om" beautiful song btw

[Incredisuper]

@ancientgreeks12 Sanskrit... it's a hindu prayer.

[shamanqueen14]

Acid. It's kinda like this.

[gdogvibes1]

Hey guys i don't listen to the beatles but i'm trying to give them a try. can someone give me a good song to listen to, because i haven't really liked anything so far...

[AmyJoeRamone]

@gdogvibes1 I'm not a Beatles fan too (actually, I listen to Punk music so...) , but I really like "When I'm sixty-four" from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

[Izdigger5]

@AmyJoeRamone

Don't ever make the mistake of missing out on great music because you think you only have to like one genre. ;)

[AmyJoeRamone]

@Izdigger5 In fact I'm starting to listen to Beatles now, and Aerosmith too :) It was just to say that I usually listen to a very different kind of music and that it's a bit difficult to change radically genre like I'm doing

[maree1993]

@AmyJoeRamone those two are the best!

[SirQuaks]

this song makes me cry as well, it makes me remember certain moments of my life that were just great

[TheDarrier]

Shut up and enjoy:) ok?

[solukhumbu911]

for everyone asking jai guru deva om means hail the supreme teacher Om, Om is just like a mantra that u add, its a symbol of spirituality in hinduism. now can i have a thumbs up?

[sexbobombman]

what  does jai guru deva mean?

[breelo94]

@sexbobombman

Praise to lord...Or something like hail the one who teaches you. 

[pennylanebloom]

@sexbobombman It means "Thank you, guru deva" It was the guru The Beatles met in India :)

[hutton4eva]

[TheMonster1503]

Pretty much Jai Guru Deva means thank the universe...maybe why the song is named Across the Universe.... OnE LuV



[Yvette60]

jai guru deva om is Sanskrit, it's a mantra :)

[BeatlesMusicRock]

I love the Beatles, they are the best band of all time, without a doubt.

[LelaQ]

@BeatlesMusicRock I always love then but They were the bests one in their time...Like Elvia, quen, and so far.....

[AbbyandAlice13]

I honestly dont care what language it is,if its the Beatles it rocks,and because its the Beatles its universal,it shouldnt matter if we are all here enjoying it!

[yelloweyedone]

I like Ryan Ross's cover too. ;D

I love this song.

My favorite by The Beatles.

[midnightwallflower]

The best version.

[tim20091966]

IT IS NOT LATIN!!! I think, if anything it is John Lennon-ese. He loves to turn us on you know :)

[Pukithepanda]

@tim20091966 DUDE I TOTALLY LOL'D AT "John Lennon-ese" XD

[salisbury664]

@tim20091966 translated it is latin you cannot denie that

[ZahraaMuhammad]

for sure bad people more than good people in this planet, so nothing's gonna change my world!

[999JellyBeans]

@runawewe14 John Lennon 'changed' my 'world' you mean?

[CertifiedShipper97]

Nothing makes me smile more than the fact that out of the 20 thousand people who heard this, only 1 person disliked it....the world isn't completely evil

[meluvmusic2010]

song for the soul :)

[afsahlicious]

this song makes me smile...<3

[Noale354]

I Cry While i sing this song

[urumexification]

sounds like reggae in some parts of the lyrics and the music =)

[theeBeatlesareMylife]

I swear I have such problems.I stay up at night thinking way too much, usually about The Beatles, so if I cant "calm my mind" (yeah I know it sounds akward) then I put this or Golden Slumbers on and I pass out. ;D

[BiteMeBatchOfHallie]

It's a really pretty song.

[generalsamfisher]

I feel like making an unofficial music video of this song; it starts with a shot of someone lip-syncing the song but there are a lot of crazy camera effects like it looks like I'm walking in a circle loop (ie walking on a small planet shot and in an infinite loop) and it the camera pans out seeing that it's just a simple trick using a hamster wheel and a camera taped to the hamster wheel. It continues by flipping around aimlessly in Space. And you see brilliant colors as you watch the world End.

[BlueTrickle]

NOTHING'S GONNA CHANGE OUR FRAGILE WORLD . . .

*Magdalina

[shadowfox2321]

for some reason this song reminds me of the movie The Lovely Bones that was a very nice movie loved it it was very beautiful and a heart tug :)

[stevekennethdouglas]

need to change the word EXCITING to INCITING

[MegaPashaw]

Nothing's gonna change MY world!

[missrocknroller1]

this kicks new pop ya hear on the radio, 

[nowhereboy18]

"Jai guru deva" in sanskrit (ancient indian language)

means "hail my god"(in this phrase god is perceived as the spiritual guide that resides inside every human)

[MyQuestForFame]

This song sounds like Heaven.

[AmonCOCO]

Apperantly everyone is confused. "Jai Guru Deva Om" is indian.

[m1is2for3mad]

It's 'words are flowing out' not flying out

[mischmafflesman]

@nutterbudder it sounds like Latin

[khaza1wolfgurl]

this song touches me on such a deep level...I cry when I hear it, though I'm not exactly sad, just overwhelmed in a good way <3

[littlefox246]

@khaza1wolfgurl same here! and i get chills too :')

[TheEagleEnigma]

My favorite Beatles song ever. So amazing.

[TANNERGRN]

BETTER THAN (c)RAP & POP

[applebottomjeans333]

my theme song.

[JamesNandhu]

its Sanskrit a anciet language which every other indian language was derived from.....so basically it's Indian....and IT MEANS: "Hail my Mentor"

[camilopone]

the correct spelling is jai guru dev om..... is the name of maharishi mahes yogi who was the and will be a guru master in transcendental meditation which is a wonderful technique that the beattles took and the song is dedicated to this two masters, the both name are in Sanskrit and coming from the ancient Veda knowledge.

[camilopone]

just one correction, jai guru dev is the master of maharishi

[mvar97]

what does jai guru deva om mean?

[GeiserAlexis]

@mvar97 Guru just is a teacher. I am not sure about the rest tho. Lol

[SpychoSpy]

lyrics are wrong... some

[pinknoses101]

@xXshmowzowXx no...idk what it was called I think saskitch or something like that idk

[DJninjanick]

the language is saskritt

[spider486]

Amazing <3 :)

[mantheman12345]

so much better then rap

[ARTUROCK15]

I really like the song and the lyrcis posted, I am trying to learn the lyrics :)

[beatlesfan5001]

I first heard this song when I watched the movie Across the Universe. The Beatles ROCK!!!

[nathan900130]

that's our westview marching band first movement of our 2010 music pieces "Somewhere"

[whomad132]

It simply means "Long live Guru Dev". It's a religous chant guys. Nothing more. It's certainly not bloody French. 

[stellinalennon]

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF THE BEATLES...I LOVE THEM <3

[goven101]

jai, guru, dave, om are the gods of hindus....

[ravikdaus]

@goven101 They are not gods of hindus and it's not dave.

its a religious chant

[goven101]

@ravikdaus what ever... but this song is awesome..!

[whomad132]

@goven101 The Om is their sacred sybmol. Not a god.

[icntthkofasn23]

this song is amazing. me and my buddies light up to the beatles all the time, they're aweaome!

[MeeraKitty]

this song is so Hypnotizing! i ere it i must sing it and my eyes styart being vacant

[xlexbabiix]

>:| Im aware I was just trying to make a joke.....

[xlexbabiix]

I learn different languages with the beatles.Michelle and across the universe soon I will be able to speak fluent french.

[cupcakelover245]

@xlexbabiix are you really that stupid? "Jai guru deva om" is clearly not in french. it doesn't sound like french at all. those words are in some indian or hindu language...

[nutterbudder3000]

@xlexbabiix ill have to agree with @cupcakelover245 "jai guru deva om" isnt french.

[wolf1234link]

@nutterbudder3000 yeah cupcake lover is right its actually sanskrit mantra with many meanings

[gmr428]

@nutterbudder3000 Of course not, it's hindi...... but what does it mean?? :/

[MrKG1020]

@nutterbudder3000 wat is it then

[EVERYTHANG6]

@MrKG1020 "jai guru deva om" is hindi not french, it means "I give thanks to Guru Dev (heavenly teacher) om"

i kno a bit of hindi cuz im brown, and the rest i googled it :P

[rochabeatlesfan]

@nutterbudder3000 actually j'ai in french means I have but the rest isn't.

[TheKelseyFace]

@nutterbudder3000 It means..." thank you Guru deva Om", Their guru dude from when they went to india i'm guessing.

[salisbury664]

@nutterbudder3000 it's latin

[rayitouchiha]

@nutterbudder3000 is the name of one people :D

[predatorinstincts]

@nutterbudder3000 Im Indian and 'Jai Guru Deva' means Giving Thanks to the Lord Above in Hindi/Sanskrit and this was introduced the beatles when George harrison embraced Indian spiritualism eventually John followed and wrote this song. They actually visited Rishikesh and Himalayas in India but Paul and Ringo Abandonded the faith and Left to England. George and john are the only one who embraced them till the end. It is a fact.

[cocoamcclure]

@predatorinstincts You are absolutely correct! It's nice to read that somebody knows his stuff. After hearing this song for years, and loving the words, and the melody, I looked up what those words meant, and found exactly your definition. I am currently reading a book called Lennon Revealed and just read about his journey to Rishikesh. Fasinating!

[sakshi021]

@nutterbudder3000 it is hindi / sanskrit. :) It is an expression paying respect to your teacher/ guru

[pinknoses101]

@xlexbabiix this language is, I used to remember what it was, something that starts with an S! NOT SPANISH :)) hahaa

[EVERYTHANG6]

@xlexbabiix "jai guru deva om" is hindi not french, it means "I give thanks to Guru Dev (heavenly teacher) om"

i kno a bit of hindi cuz im brown, and the rest i googled it :P

[salisbury664]

@xlexbabiix it's latin
