Guru Brahma (from Return to Shiva Station)

This track is from my Bliss of Kirtan album and is available for purchase on my website at this link: https://nateshkirtan.com/store.

Much has also been written about this mantra, known as the Mahamantra (Great Mantra) to devotees of Lord Krishna and Vaishnavites (devotees of Lord Vishnu) generally.  It dates back to the Kali-Santarana Upanishad, which is associated with the Krishna Yajurveda, and was popularized as part of the bhakti movement started by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the late 15th century, and more recently in the West by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

This composition for the mantra has two melodic parts, and the track opens with a bansuri intro by Steve Gorn.  The track features Prajna Vieira joining Natesh on call and response vocals.  In addition to Steve Gorn on bansuri, the track instrumentally features Benj Clarke on acoustic upright bass, Daniel Paul on tabla, Ben Leinbach on drums and hand percussion, and Natesh on guitar, drums and hand percussion.

The lyrics are:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krisha Hare Hare
  Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Meaning:

As I understand it is interpreted in Swami Prabhupad's 'Hare Krishna' movement, "Hare" is a form of Harā, a name of Rādhā, Krishna's beloved, and none other than Shakti. Thus Harā refers to "the energy of God" while Krishna and Rama refer to God himself, and mean "He who is All-Attractive" and "He who is the Source of All Pleasure," respectively.

Hare Krishna Mantra (Enchanting)

Evening, Wednesday, Black Rock City 2014. Led by Paavo and Tony of Above and Beyond, bathing in the lavender sunset, we practiced an hour of yoga with Elena Brower. We gathered, strengthened, listened and received the gift of quiet. We landed at home in our own hearts. This class reminds us that we are never alone, and that no matter where we are, we are on the path, and right at home.

Sriman Narayaneeyam - Bhagvata

몽글히 모여있는 구름을 볼때면
꿈꾸던 순간을 기대했어요
바다를 팔레트 삼아 찍힌 빛들은
제멋대로 반짝이다 사라졌네요
외롭게 괴롭히던 생각들은
정처없이 날 떠돌게했고
끊임없이 붙잡았죠
별을 품었던 기억이 떠오를때
네게 헤엄쳐서 갈게요
시간에 멈춘 어린 마음도
이젠 따라갈수 있어요
손잡고 걷던 우리의 추억은 
어떤 마음으로 남아있나요
고개를 기울이고 보았던 세상은
천진난만한 나를 반겨줬어요 
사진속의 모습을 되감고싶어서
그때의 시간들을 품에 안았어요
덧 없는 꿈들을 간직했을때도 
사랑해주던 너에게
별을 품었던 기억이 떠오를때
네게 헤엄쳐서 갈게요
시간에 멈춘 어린 마음도
이젠 따라갈수 있어요
손잡고 걷던 우리의 추억은 
어떤 마음으로 남아있나요
함께 뛰어놀던 조그만 그림자는
어딜 향해 우리를 이끌어줄까요
그대의 넓은 품 안에 있을땐
꿈꿔온 순간으로 날아올라요

07 Maha Mantra

A fresh and inspiring version of this ancient Mantra in an East West fusion style - featuring all acoustic instruments . 
Nylon string guitar - 12 string guitar- Bass - Stevin McNamara.
Glorious vocals by the renowned Indian classical vocalist,Mala Ganguly - Drums and percussion by Christo Pellani. 

Gayatri Devi is an incarnation of Saraswati Devi, consort of Lord Brahma, symbolising the "shakti" (strength) and "dev" (quality) of Knowledge, Purity and Virtue. Saraswati Devi is held to be the patronness of the Arts, being a poet and musician, as well as skillful composer. In the form of Gayatri Devi, with the blessings of Lord Brahma, she is believed to have given the four Vedas to mankind.
Mantra:

Aum Bhur Bhuvah Swah, Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi, Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat
ॐ भूर्भुव: स्व: तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं । भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि, धीयो यो न: प्रचोदयात् ।।
A basic translation can be given as...
Oh God, the Protector, the basis of all life, Who is self-existent, Who is free from all pains and Whose contact frees the soul from all troubles, Who pervades the Universe and sustains all, the Creator and Energizer of the whole Universe, the Giver of happiness, Who is worthy of acceptance, the most excellent, Who is Pure and the Purifier of all, let us embrace that very God, so that He may direct our mental faculties in the right direction.
The Gayatri mantra is one of the oldest and most powerful of Sanskrit mantras. It is believed that by chanting the Gayatri mantra and firmly establishing it in the mind, if you carry on your life and do the work that is ordained for you, your life will be full of happiness.
The word "Gayatri" itself explains the reason for the existence of this mantra. It has its origin in the Sanskrit phrase Gayantam Triyate iti, and refers to that mantra which rescues the chanter from all adverse situations that may lead to mortality.

Goddess Gayatri is also called "Veda-Mata" or the Mother of the Vedas - Rig, Yajur, Saam and Atharva - because it is the very basis of the Vedas. It is the basis, the reality behind the experienced and the cognized universe.
The Gayatri mantra is composed of a metre consisting of 24 syllables - generally arranged in a triplet of eight syllables each. Therefore, this particular meter (tripadhi) is also known as the Gayatri Meter or "Gayatri Chhanda."

CSM Gayatri Mantra ( Embracing the Divine)- FT Mala Ganguly - Christo Pellani

Philip Glass turns 75, and I’d like to share my solo piano performance of his masterpiece written about 35 years ago: the main theme from Einstein on the Beach. Our intellect refuses to accept the shocking simplicity of the Absolute. We keep searching for something "really serious" and elaborate. By playing this music today I want to say that ultimate wisdom is very simple. Happy birthday Philip!
