Note by Harini Rao :

The first time i heard this, I had tears. Such purity and such beauty in simplicity.

This was over 10 years back in Chinmaya Naad Bindu. Here's Anirudh Sharma and I sharing our joy for this cute birthday song penned

by Swami Tejomayananda (Chinmaya Mission). We've followed it up with a quick tutorial so that next time it's a dear one's birthday,

you'll be able to sing this joyous birthday song for them!

जन्मदिन गानम्
जन्मदिनमिदम् अयि प्रिय सखे
शंतनो तु ते सर्वदा मुदम् ।

प्रार्थयामहे भव शतायुषी 
ईश्वरः सदा त्वाम् च रक्षतु ।

पुण्य कर्मणा कीर्तिमर्जय
जीवनम् तव भवतु सार्थकम्

O Dear friend, may this birthday bring you auspiciousness and joy forever.
