Metta Karuna Mudita Upeka (The Four Immeasurables)

The words inspired by the late Zen Buddhist master, Founder of Plum Village, Thich Nhat Hanh, from his book 'Love Letters to the Earth'. The tune is my own.

With each step I come home to the Earth
 With each step I return to my Source 
With each step I take refuge in Mother Earth
 With each step I am home

Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava)
Also known as the Vajra Guru mantra. For courage, protection, and strength.
Legend tells of Guru Rinpoche flying on the back of a tiger.  In this track the music 'takes off' and the tigress flies at 4 minutes in!

You can find this track on our Bharati and Dinesh YouTube channel.

Guru Rinpoche Mantra (Flight of the tigress)

This is the improved and extended version of one I did previously.
I wanted a simple piece of meditative music to breath to a count of six, and as the mantra of compassion (Chenrezig), Om Mani Peme Hung, is 6 syllables is seemed I started singing the mantra with this tune. 

It is becoming more and more recognised today that the majority of us 'over breathe'  to the detriment of our physical health and emotional and spiritual well being. Taking a few minutes to focus o slowing the breath inevitably slows and relaxes our busy bodies and minds and helps bring us to a state of peace.

Om Shanti, shanti, shanti!

Om Mani Peme Hung (Breath of Six)

The Bodhisattva Vajrapani is the' holder of the Diamond Thunderbolt'.

In Vajrayana Buddhism there are three main Bodhisattvas who represent the essential characteristics of all the Buddhas: Manjushri associated with wisdom, Avalokiteshvara with compassion and Vajrapani with power.

Vajrapani is the “indestructible power of the Buddha” — helping us overcome the delusions, poisons and attachments that prevent our progress. He represents the power of the Awakened state.

Om Vajrapani Hum

Thich Nhat Hanh (11/10/26 - 22/1/22)

This is a poem by Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh, 11/10/26 - 22/1/22).
I put the words to music, in gratitude to this living embodiment of wisdom and compassion.

Peace is every step
The shining red sun is my heart
Each flower smiles with me
How green, how fresh, all that grows
How cool the wind does blow
Peace is Every step    
It turns the endless path to Joy

                 Thich Nhat Hanh

May we all walk in peace.

Peace is Every Step (Christmas Edition 2023)

I wrote this a few years back for my wife and thought it was now time to for us to do a proper recording and share it with the rest of the world in time for Valentines Day

May Love and Peace prevail.

Time For a Love Song

t is said that the teachings of the Heart Sutra, or Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, are condensed into this one powerful mantra. Chanting and understanding this mantra helps to lead us across the ocean of suffering, the delusion of separation, to our true home, this one precious present moment, where all division and discrimination ceases. This is True Peace.

Gone, gone, utterly gone, 
Gone to the other shore beyond. 
O what an Awakening!

Heart Sutra Mantra (Gaté Gaté Paragaté Parasam Gaté Bodhi Svaha)

Lets sing the Compassionate Revolution into Reality together!
Why Irresistible?  - because the Compassionate Revolution is about saying 'YES to LIFE' and saying 'NO' to all that goes against life. 
“A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight.” Henry David Thoreau

Here are the lyrics:
You say we’ve got problems   
I say we’ve got solutions
The Power of the People
Compassionate Revolution.......
You say we‘re all on our own
I say drops make the ocean
This rising tide you cannot turn 
Compassionate Revolution........

Irresistible, Irresistible 
Together we’re Irresistible
Irresistible, Irresistible, 
Let’s say ‘Yes’ to Life,
Let’s say ‘Yes’ to Life

You say ‘collateral damage’
I say sons & daughters, brothers, sisters,
relatives, Compassionate Revolution.......
You say ‘this belongs to me’
I say Earth’s prosperity
For sharing and cherishing
Compassionate Revolution       Chorus.......

You say ‘let’s take more and more’
I say end this 3rd World War
Time for fossil fuels to go
Compassionate Revolution........
You say we’ve got problems
I say we’ve got solutions
Caring for each other
Wealth redistribution..... Chorus

One Heart, One Voice
Constrained no more by the fiction walls
One Heart, One Voice, cosumed
no more by the shopping malls
One Heart, One Voice,
Beating to the rhythm of the 
Freedom drum, the freedom drum....Chorus

Compassionate Revolution (Irresistible)
