Reality of Love - Adyashanti

Taken from a workshop at Princeton University, Krishna Das recounts the events and experiences that originally brought him to chanting. Though his path was paved with personal struggle and self-doubt, the love of his guru kept his devotion alive, and he eventually began to find peace in the practice itself. Through chanting he was able to deepen his awareness of the presence of love.

Above & Beyond - Blue Sky Action (EDX's Indian Summer Remix) is releasing this month.

A Pete Tong endorsed anthem and immediate festival favourite, Above & Beyond's "Blue Sky Action" (feat. Alex Vargas) has been turning heads globally throughout the summer of 2014. Emotive and atmospheric in typically epic proportions, "Blue Sky Action" now sees a re-imagining by long-time friend of the Anjuna family Maurizio Colella, aka EDX. 

Equally adept at creating peak-time anthems or contemporary progressive deep house, Maurizio has long been admired by Above & Beyond for his dexterity of sound and memorable melodies. Taking a deeper approach reminiscent of recent hits "Cool You Off", "Air For Life" and "Reckless Ardor", EDX's "Blue Sky Action" remix is an unflinching dance floor mover. A resolute bassline and tight groove give way to a melancholic chord heavy breakdown, with Alex Vargas emotive vocal carrying throughout the track - before falling back to the ear-grabbing bass heavy riff.

Meditations on the Gita combines readings from the Bhagavad Gita by Ram Dass with musical accompaniments by John McDowell, Steve Gorn and Gardner Cole. Chants by Ram Dass, Diana Rogers and Shyamdas further elevate and inspire this essential meditation experience.

The Bhagavad Gita is a jewel of Hindu spiritual literature. It represents the essence of the Hindu path to union with God and it presents us with a profound vision of the goal of the mystic's journey. It has been read and revered by spiritual teachers ranging from Mahatma Gandhi to Annie Besant.

Song is an appropriate image for the presentation of the Gita on this recording. Ram Dass' readings and verses from the Gita are set against an underlying wave of music which carries from verse to verse and allows for the contemplation of the words and the ultimate meditative space to unfold. The last three tracks segue into various meditative chants that include Ram Dass, Diana Rogers and Shyamdas. Meditations on the Gita is a unique presentation of Ram Dass' resonance with the teachings of the Gita.

Ram Dass - Meditations on the Gita - Meditation #1

Krishna Das explains that simple peace of mind is often underrated in our culture, and that thinking about peace is not the same thing as being peaceful. We seek enlightenment or bliss, not realizing that a calm and present mind is equally profound. Peace of mind is the middle ground from which we can choose what we want to hold in our thoughts. We have to allow it to arise from within through practice. How we live today is how we will live tomorrow, and our practice gives us the strength to let go of what is no longer serving us.

- How do we move beyond our desire to perpetuate experiences into a place where we can be free to enjoy the present moment?
​- How do we recognize moments of awakening and move into a place of identifying with the soul?
- How do we learn to embrace simplicity and spaciousness and move into harmony in a way that benefits those around us?
How do we learn to honor our incarnations while remaining free of attachment?

From tragedy to elation, moments of awakening come in many forms. When we recognize that we were born in order to work through attachments in ourselves that keep us bonded to our separateness, the meaning our of lives change. We see the potential for our souls to awaken to their true nature. From then on, everything in our life becomes a vehicle for awakening and we are free to open ourselves to all forms of the universe...

These are all quotes from a discussion given by McKenna called "Dream Awake".

"Technology or the historical momentum of things is creating such a bewildering social milieu, that the monkey mind cannot find a simple story, a simple creation myth or redemption myth to lay over the crazy contradictory patchwork of profane techno consumerist, post-McLuhanist electronic pre-apocalyptic existence."  -Terence McKenna
"We are like hardware; the human animal is a piece of biological wetware / hardware." --Terence McKenna
"Love is some kind of output which messes with the entropic tendencies toward probabilistic behaviors in nature." --Terence McKenna
"The global destiny of the species is somehow unfolding with the logic of a dream." --Terence McKenna

Got inspired by a speech of Alan Watts and I felt the need to combine it with a sweet melody. Found the perfect tune in Small Moments...

This meditation is drawn from Theravada (Southern Buddhism) called "Anapana" - just bringing you to right here, and it's done through the breath. Out of all of our individual differences, what is common to us is we are all breathing in, breathing out. 


Ram Dass Breathing Meditation

Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
