Waltzing My Krishna (SC Clip)

What We Think We Are

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

Entire treatises are written about this ancient and powerful mantra and its meaning(s).  I've read that it originated from Shri Rudram, which in turn comes from the Yajurveda.  I show a very simple meaning following the lyrics.  It is known as the Great Redeeming Mantra and also as Panchakshara (the 5-Syllable mantra, which doesn't count the 'Om') amongst devotees of Lord Shiva, and there are also associations between those 5 syllables and the five elements.  I invite you to do your own research for more about this mantra.

This is the only track on the Bliss of Kirtan album where I sing all of the 'calls' of the call and response format.  The response "chorus" is comprised of Ben Leinbach, Monnie Ramsell, Prajna Vieira, Yvette Om and myself.  The chant has a very trance-like quality as it continually shifts back and forth between 2 different chords and the two lyric variations of the mantra.  

Instrumentally, the track features Steve Oda on sarod, Monnie Ramsell on esraj, Ben Leinbach on electric guitar, keyboard bass, drums and percussion, and myself on guitar, drums and percussion.  I recorded the sound of the thunderstorm that opens the track one night when the noise of the storm was preventing me from doing some other preliminary recording for the album.

The lyrics are:

Om Namah Shivaaya Om Namah Shivaaya

Shivaaya Namaha Om Namah Shivaaya

Meaning (simple):  

Salutations to Shiva

Shivaya Namaha Om Namah Shivaya

Water Doesn't Come From A Stone

This track is from the album Mystic Poets Of India and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/chinmayadunsterandsandee

02 - RAMANA RAMANA

Krishna Das is one of the most popular singers of Indian devotional music in the world. Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga's "rock star." With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling western chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda’ (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.  He released a string of well-received albums including "PILGRIM HEART", "BREATH OF THE HEART" and "DOOR OF FAITH," the former featuring the vocals of KD fan Sting, and the latter two both produced by Rick Rubin and utilizing, at the producer's request, a palette of traditional Indian instrumentation. KD is clear that he is first and foremost a devotee, with the sharing of his practice a profound act of his faith. Nevertheless, KD has become an iconic music presence, drawing in other artists, including Sting, Madonna, Mike D, Steely Dan’s Walter Becker, and Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, some of whom are yoga devotees, while others are simply moved by the power of the music.
