Some history I found
Here's what I found in Wikipedia -
"The legend goes that, the Kaveri river was held in a Kamandalu (a container of sacred water) by Sage Agasthya. Vinaayaka (Lord Ganesha) took the form of a crow and perched on the kamandalu of Agasthya when Agasthya was meditating. When Agasthya realised this, he shooed away the crow. But the Divine Crow tipped the kamandalu and toppled it. Out poured Kaveri which started flowing. The crow disappeared and in its place stood a small boy. Agasthya thought that the boy was playing some prank and clenching both his fists, went to pound the head of the small boy. But the boy escaped and Agasthya gave chase. Finally the boy vanished and Lord Ganesha showed Himself to Agasthya. Agasthya was aghast at the realisation that he had just tried to knock the head of Ganesha Himself. As atonement, he knocked his own head with both of his clenched fists."...

Jeevan, the meaning of this
Jeevan, the meaning of this song which is actually the Gayatri Mantra is given alongside the video that you are referring to. I'm not sure when this was composed but I have read somewhere that this originated during the creation of the 'Vedas' during 1500 BC - 2000 BC. Appreciate your visiting Go Dakshin. Thanks!
