Fun Facts

The song is deeply philosophical, drawing directly from the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. The Sanskrit verse “Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana” (Chapter 2, Verse 47) is one of its most famous and widely quoted lines from the Bhagavad Gita and emphasizes performing one’s duty without attachment to the results.

The film revolves around a devout Hindu man, Ram (played by Manoj Kumar), who renounces worldly pleasures and lives a life of celibacy and spiritual discipline.

The song is used to reinforce the film’s central theme of dharma (righteous duty) and the battle between good and evil.

It is picturized in a dramatic setting where spiritual truths are being revealed, often contrasting the hypocrisy of fake saints and the purity of true devotion.

The song is filmed in Haridwar in the state of Uttarakhand and other spiritual locales, adding authenticity and visual depth to its devotional tone.
