From the album, 'Servants of Love' by Jaya Lakshmi, released April 2020.

Servants of Love

Bountiful Beautiful

Kirtan Kriya

Lyrics:

"Back in the Neighborhood"

Back in the neighborhood
Oh, what a street
Back in the neighborhood
Like I’ve only been gone a week

It’s not that I hate it here
It’s not even you
But so much has happened here
And everything’s brand new

And then a week goes by
And I could never leave
And I could swear to god
It’s just like it’s been a week

"Bloody Footprints on the Carpet"

Don’t be afraid of a slow start
Don’t try to fight against that steady march
‘Cause all the light will slowly fade to dark
No matter how fast you get anywhere

Marlene drives her husband to the hospital
Bloody footprints on the carpet
“Thought this knife was dull”
“Well, that’s just fuckin’ fabulous”
“Marlene, just take me to the hospital”
Marlene can’t think of anything but how he could
Be dumb enough to cut off his whole fuckin’ thumb
“Can I not trust you alone for ten minutes?”

Apologizes to the intake nurse who meets them
That they weren’t there five minutes earlier
She had to put the thumb on ice
She wants to love him but she’s too smart
In the waiting room there’s a vending machine
Opens up a cola and a fashion magazine
They look so fabulous
That cola rush is fabulous
Marlene’s just trying not to spill it on the floor
Marlene’s been chewin’ on a black pearl
Pretended she wasn’t waitin’ for this breakdown

“Don’t be afraid, it’s just the slow start
There’s so much still, though, left to fall apart”
Says an over-friendly stranger
Who’s bleeding on the magazines
“They need those forms, though.
Take it one page at a time”

In outpatient care, she holds his sewn-up hand
“Hey, remember all the boring shit we planned?
Just slow it down some
Need you and all ten fuckin’ fingers, man

‘Cause I wanna build something that stretches to the sea
I want to be the most divine version of me
And that comes slow
And often not at all

Finding the one, that was the low part
Who knew it all was just the slow start?

Pełni Moja Pełni

Gobinde Mukande

Dame la flauta y canta,
pues el canto es el secreto de la existencia
y el murmullo de la flauta permanece
después de que se extinga la existencia.
¿Has tomado al bosque como casa,
al igual que yo, dejando los alcázares,
y has seguido las acequias
y trepado a las peñas?

¿Te has bañado en perfume
y secado con la luz?
¿Has bebido el vino de la aurora
en copas de éter?

Dame la flauta y canta,
pues el canto es el secreto de la existencia
y el murmullo de la flauta permanece
después de que se extinga la existencia.

¿Te has sentado, como yo, por la tarde
entre los parrales
cargados de racimos
como Pléyades doradas?

¿Te has tumbado sobre la hierba por la noche
con el cielo como manto,
despreocupándote del futuro
y olvidando el pasado?

Dame la flauta y canta,
pues el canto es la rectitud de los corazones
y el murmullo de la flauta permanece
después de que se extingan los pecados.

Dame la flauta y canta
y olvida males y remedios.
La gente son líneas
escritas, pero con agua.

GIBRAN KHALIL GIBRAN (1883-1931)
Libro de Poemas La Procesión.

At the end of our Apprenticeship program in 2019, We had a marathon ceremony to sing the whole book from beginning to end. It was an incredible experience that took 37 hours and many cups...

We recorded it all for the sake of learning the songs and connecting to SOL spirit. The sounds of the forest are singing with us.

09 - AQUI EU RECEBI

Aqui eu recebi 
Para mim distribuir 
É o Santo Daime 
Para com meu Pai seguir 
 
Se meus irmãos soubessem 
O que é que vem fazer 
Saíam bem limpinhos 
Pois o meu Pai tem poder 
 
Este é o Poder 
Esta é a Verdade 
Quem não ama com firmeza 
Sempre carrega a maldade 
 
Eu gosto de dizer 
Também gosto de mostrar 
Ta.......Tum 
Veja aonde está 
 
Quem não souber o que é 
Puxe pela consciência 
Quem ama com lealdade 
Sempre rende obediência 

HERE I AM RECEIVING 

Here I receive 
For me to distribute 
It’s the holy Daime 
With which my Father leads me 

If my brothers and sisters knew 
What they are coming to do 
They would leave well cleansed 
Because of my Father’s power 

This is the Power 
This is the Truth 
Who doesn’t love with firmness 
Always carries wickedness 

I like to say 
And I also like to show Ta-DAH! 
Behold – there it is! 

Who doesn’t know what it is 
Make use of your conscience 
Who loves with loyalty 
Will stay obedient
