[vjsingh3]

Sainyaa literally means lover. Here, in this context, he is addressing god as his love. 

[strzebowiska]

Is anybody out there who understands Pandit Ajoy's language?

Tell at least whom is he praising in his song?

[akinderreality]

@macanckor I don't speak the language either, but a Bhajan is usually a song of praise for Krishna or one of the other major Hindu deities. --- Sorry, wish i could help out more :)
