The Concept and Meaning of Do Jahaan or Two Worlds

In Hindi songs we often hear the phrase 'do jahaan', which literally translates to 'two worlds'. This is something of a religious concept from the point of view where one thinks that there is a world other than this world too, where we live after death. So the 'two worlds' are nothing but one world that we live in, and another world that is expected after we are no more in this world.

Mostly the phrase 'do jahaan' is used to signify eternity, in which one includes time after one's death as well.

The concept can be seen used in the song 'wo mere do jahaan saath le gaya' from Haider, and Be-intehaa from Race 2, in the line 'baahon mein teri aa ke jahaan do yoon simatne lage'.

Ramleela/ Ram Leela Meaning

Ramleela is a Hindi word, short for Ram ki Leela, that is Ram's play, or to be more clear, a play about Ram's life.

Ramleela is a common street play that is organized in many Indian villages, towns and cities every year for a few days before the Hindu festival of Dussera. The play essentially depicts the life of Lord Rama till he killed Ravana.

Hosanna Meaning (Ek Deewana Tha)

In Christianity, 'Hosanna' is the cry of praise or adoration shouted in recognition of the Messiahship of Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem, Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! It is used in the same way in Christian praise.

Overall, it seems that "Hosanna" is a cry for salvation; while at the same time is a declaration of praise. Therefore, it may be derived that this plea for help is out of an agreeably positive connotation.

The word comes from Hebrew, and means "Save, now!" In Jewish liturgy, the word is applied specifically to the Hoshana Service, a cycle of prayers from which a selection is sung each morning during Sukkot, the Feast of Booths or Tabernacles.

In Ek Deewana Tha, Hosanna is the title of a song sung by Leon D'Souza and Suzanne D'Mello.
