"Politics and people will let you down and life can be very disappointing. At such a time, when you hear Krishna's flute... how can you resist?" - Cheb I Sabbah. 

"Live at Rudra Mandir" is the Kirtaniyas's first live album recorded on February 02/15/2013 at Rudra Mandir in Berkeley, California. 

The project was produced by the late Cheb I Sabbah who mixed and supervised mastering of the recording and was his last musical project. 

Kirtaniyas are ever grateful for the opportunity to sing the glorious names of the Divine in a traditional form, using melodies and rhythms taken from the ancient Bhakti lands such as Vrindavan, India and Navadipa, Mayapura, India.

This is for "Maria" My Raven Beauty.


I have looked on you from afar,
Shining like an ancient star,
You must be an old soul,
Because I found you,
Don't ask how I know this,
But it helped my eyes see you.

I know.
Oh yes I know,
Oh yes I do.

I see you as beautiful,
As rich as gold through and through,
So many other's think you are so plain,
But I cannot say the same.
They do not see your inner beauty,
No, not the real you.

I do,
I don't know why yet,
But I know I do.

Long flowing jet black hair,
Piercing eyes,
some might say a cold stare.
Going nowhere but deep into my soul.
That I know.

I never can forget you,
So glad I ever met you,
You made me happy this day,
Please don't ever go away.

I pray my Raven beauty will stay,
That she will never go away,
Yet I know she will in time,
As she exists only in my mind,
She will haunt me and taunt me through time,
I don't care though because she is mine.

I know,
Her beauty is so captivating
and so devastatingly grows,
I know, I can never let her go.

My Raven Beauty

“Tome of Stars” is a 100 sonnet journey, equal parts art, therapy journal, and exorcism, both a celebration and an elegy, a single narrative arc tracing the birth and death of a relationship. All poetry by Stargazer. The verse and accompanying synthetic art and music are public domain, CC0, with no restrictions on use. Nothing is monetized. See below for links on how to access the print, PDF, audio, ePub, video, and music files. Website: tomeofstars.net

The opening section of “Tome of Stars”, titled “Item 1: Anthesis”, comprises 21 poems that chronicle the emergence and flowering of a romantic relationship, structured around the botanical metaphor of anthesis, the period during which a flower blooms. 

“Leaves of Stars” gathers moments from personal memory, mythology, and literature to create a layered tribute to the beloved, using the motif of sacred trees as a unifying image. The sonnet moves between real places (a tree outside her dormitory, a banyan on a volcanic island), and mythic landscapes, such as Tolkien’s Valinor. These trees serve both as physical settings for intimacy and as metaphors for enduring love, spiritual connection, and cosmic beauty. By drawing connections between natural beauty, shared memory, and mythic narrative, the beloved is constructed not just as a person remembered, but as a presence who is woven into the spiritual and symbolic structure of the cosmos itself. The final couplet unites these threads into a vision of transfigured union, immortalized in writing and through the celestial symbolism of “leaves of stars.”.

***********
Lyrics

A verdant campus row of London planes
Stands sentinel to frame a tree apart.
You watched it glow outside your windowpane—
A beacon, haven for our hidden hearts.

Across the seas, where molten mountains sleep,
The banyan’s curtained chamber clasped us tight.
With gentle winds, in tender moments reaped,
We kissed—your locks of midnight dancing bright.

In Valinor, by trunks of silver-gold,
She blessed the gems that caught their holy light;
And Varda’s hand took dewdrops to unfold,
The stellar dance that glorifies the night.

Our radiance merged as those jewels divine:
Ten thousand leaves of stars, sweet breath entwined.

Kishori Mohan das & Sudevi Dasi - Hare Krishna Mahamantra

Om Purnamadah Purnamidam The Invocation from Sri Isopanishad is performed by Karanamrta Devi Dasi.

SRI ISOPANISAD
By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada:

INVOCATION

oṁ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ
pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate
pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya
pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate

TRANSLATION

The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Om Purnamadah Purnamidam ~ Karanamrta Devi Dasi:

Gopi Gita by Krsna Dvaipayana Vyasa performed by Karanamrta Devi Dasi.

GOPI GITAM
by Krsna Dvaipayana Vyasa
14 verses of 17:

(1) The gopīs said: O beloved, Your birth in the land of Vraja has made it exceedingly glorious, and thus Indirā, the goddess of fortune, always resides here. It is only for Your sake that we, Your devoted servants, maintain our lives. We have been searching everywhere for You, so please show Yourself to us.>



(2) O Lord of love, in beauty Your glance excels the whorl of the finest, most perfectly formed lotus within the autumn pond. O bestower of benedictions, You are killing the maidservants who have given themselves to You freely, without any price. Isn't this murder?

(3) O greatest of personalities, You have repeatedly saved us from all kinds of danger from poisoned water, from the terrible man-eater Agha, from the great rains, from the wind demon, from the fiery thunderbolt of Indra, from the bull demon and from the son of Maya Dānava.

(4) You are not actually the son of the gopī Yaśodā, O friend, but rather the indwelling witness in the hearts of all embodied souls. Because Lord Brahmā prayed for You to come and protect the universe, You have now appeared in the Sātvata dynasty.

(5) O best of the Vṛṣṇis, Your lotuslike hand, which holds the hand of the goddess of fortune, grants fearlessness to those who approach Your feet out of fear of material existence. O lover, please place that wish-fulfilling lotus hand on our heads.

(6) O You who destroy the suffering of Vraja's people, O hero of all women, Your smile shatters the false pride of Your devotees. Please, dear friend, accept us as Your maidservants and show us Your beautiful lotus face.

(7) Your lotus feet destroy the past sins of all embodied souls who surrender to them. Those feet follow after the cows in the pastures and are the eternal abode of the goddess of fortune. Since You once put those feet on the hoods of the great serpent Kāliya, please place them upon our breasts and tear away the lust in our hearts.

(8) O lotus-eyed one, Your sweet voice and charming words, which attract the minds of the intelligent, are bewildering us more and more. Our dear hero, please revive Your maidservants with the nectar of Your lips.

(9) The nectar of Your words and the descriptions of Your activities are the life and soul of those suffering in this material world. These narrations, transmitted by learned sages, eradicate one's sinful reactions and bestow good fortune upon whoever hears them. These narrations are broadcast all over the world and are filled with spiritual power. Certainly those who spread the message of Godhead are most munificent.

(10) Your smiles, Your sweet, loving glances, the intimate pastimes and confidential talks we enjoyed with You all these are auspicious to meditate upon, and they touch our hearts. But at the same time, O deceiver, they very much agitate our minds.

(11) Dear master, dear lover, when You leave the cowherd village to herd the cows, our minds are disturbed with the thought that Your feet, more beautiful than a lotus, will be pricked by the spiked husks of grain and the rough grass and plants.

(12) At the end of the day You repeatedly show us Your lotus face, covered with dark blue locks ofhair and thickly powdered with dust. Thus, O hero, You arouse lusty desires in our minds.

(13) Your lotus feet, which are worshiped by Lord Brahmā, fulfill the desires of all who bow down to them. They are the ornament of the earth, they give the highest satisfaction, and in times of danger they are the appropriate object of meditation. O lover, O destroyer of anxiety, please put those lotus feet upon our breasts.

(14) O hero, kindly distribute to us the nectar of Your lips, which enhances conjugal pleasure and vanquishes grief. That nectar is thoroughly relished by Your vibrating flute and makes people forget any other attachment.
