Call and Response Ep 80 He Knew Everything, There's Only One Life

“Mother of the Universe” is a devotional mantra in the Bhakti tradition – inspired by Indian saint Shri Siddhi Ma and the presence of the Divine Mother. A heartfelt chant in the spirit of my treacher Krishna Das, inviting stillness and love.“

LYRICS

Baby I can’t shake you
You got me all tied up
Baby I just wanna move on
But it seems I can’t give you up

When your mind goes quiet  
Do you cry for me?
And when you go to sleep at night
Is it love that you see? cause 

Real love doesn’t knock at my door and
Real love doesn’t come 'round anymore 
x2

Love hasn’t paid me a visit for some time 
Or maybe the distant one is me
Will you just pick up and go 
Cause I don’t want your name round here 

And here I am six years later 
Sitting here wondering why 
When you stop and look back
Did we miss our time? cause 

Real love doesn’t knock at my door and
Real love doesn’t come round anymore 
x2

Well the summer's been a bit tough 
My assumptions have been all wrong 
And I’ve been looking for a little love 
Cause that lonely feeling is feeling long

And when you look back to us
Do you cry for me?
And when you think of it all
Is it love you see? … Cause

Real love doesn’t knock at my door and
Real love doesn’t come round anymore 
x2

Real love, real love, real love baby... (fade)

Real Love

Dheera Das’ journey began when he found everything he was seeking, yet the key to the heart was missing. Grace led him to chanting and to his teacher Krishna Das, where he felt at home. 
Rooted in devotion to Neem Karoli Baba, a great saint from India, Dheera Das blends original songs with traditional chants, carried by the soulful sound of harmonium and voice, inviting listeners into love, reflection, and self-discovery.

"The practice of chanting is a means to remember who we are—not a belief to follow, but an experience to embody through practice."

Mother of the Universe
