Oh The Night

Mama Youve Been On My Mind

In 2018 I spent a year studying Hatha Yoga in the birthplace of the ancient form of mindfulness.

My afternoons were filled with wonder at the world famous 'Parmath Niketan' ashram where a beautifully talented young instructor named Preeti unwittingly taught me everything I was looking for.

In this recording you can hear her soulful voice echo across the yoga hall as it filled me with divine thoughts and images.

During Shavasana she would sing these mantras, that would send my dislocated mind out to the astral plains. Sometimes with very little hope of returning in time to vacate the yoga hall and allow her to lock the door and attend the evening's fire puja.

I thank you Preeti, from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to you my life has changed for the better and I eagerly anticipate spending more time in my life as one of your many grateful students.

Preety Chants Satsang Hall Oct 18

One foot in the past and one in the future; this is a rather 'boombastic' as well as medieval approach to the Hare Krishna mantra.

This particular jam, which took place just outside Parmath Niketan as a kind of sound check early one evening ended up in a full scale ecstatic dance.

Once you stand up and surrender your will to Krishna it becomes very hard to sit down again.

They say you can't go looking for your Guru....that if the universe allows to be, then your Guru will come to you.
Like many before me I came to India in search of my mantra. I had almost completely forgotten about that pursuit too, when Sarah came out of the ether.

Thankyou Guru Ji, for everything you've taught me so far and everything the universe will teach me from here on out.
Meeting you and learning your mantra has been a complete blessing. 

This recording was a taster session with Sarah recorded in November 2018 in which she, as always, was trying to spread the mantra further and encourage new participants.

Put your headphones in and try it out for yourself. There are no rules to this thing, but we generally chose to sat somewhere nice and close our eyes.

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo

This particular take on the Hare Krisna mantra originates out in the desert lands of India.
The talented young singers of Anand Prakash ashram in Rishikesh performed this song in November of 2019.
Its intoxicating melodies refer to Krishna as 'Gopal', which is the infant version of the deity who intoxicated the cow-herd maidens with the divine sound of his flute.
Historically Gopal is believed to be one of the earliest forms of worshipping the God.
