Sounds of Isha

This is one of the powerful mantra of lord Ganesha. If recited soulfully it can bestow peace and harmony in one's life.

Shree Ganapati Atharvashirsha

Ya Devi

Sung at the end of Sadhguru's dharshan on Republic Day

Vande Mataram

The feminine has always been worshipped in Indian culture in various forms. This wonderful song by the great Tamil poet, Mahakavi Bharathiyar is in praise of the goddess and his experience of her. The song by Sounds of Isha is set to a tune as an offering to Linga Bhairavi Devi.

Linga Bhairavi is the most exuberant expression of the Divine Feminine, residing in a triangular-shaped abode at the Velliangiri Foothills. Unique in her manifestation in the form of a linga, Devi was consecrated by Sadhguru as a powerful energy form with a solidified mercury core. Representing the creative and nurturing aspects of the universe, she is the ultimate manifestation of the Mother Goddess – powerful and all-encompassing.

Thunbam illadha nilaiye shakthi

“Those who aspire for knowledge, knowing, and transcending the limitations of the mortal body, will aspire for that aspect of the feminine which is referred to as sattva – Saraswati is the representative of that – or the Moon.”

In this song of Adi Sankara, rendered by Sounds of Isha, Adi Sankara praises the Devi as the one who sits on the lotus and is the Goddess of words and language. This is also the time when, traditionally, there is a ritualistic worship of all implements of learning and working as these are the tools with which one understands and works with life.

Pratha sthuve Bhairavi

While words have their intellectual appeal, instrumental music can sometimes create an openness that language cannot. Among the many instrumental pieces Sounds of Isha has created to manifest different ambiences, Madhyamavathi is one of the more beautiful ones. The name reflects the raga on which the song is based. 

We have also had the fortune of some part-time volunteers, who have contributed to our music. We could use this opportunity to say how Sounds of Isha is not just some small group of people in the ashram but consists of so many meditators all over India and the world, all contributing to the music and connected with the common bond of Sadhguru's Grace. 

The flute melody for this piece was composed by one of our meditators. He wanted to offer it to sadhguru and as we worked with it to create a song, we had the fortune of roping in a few more contributors from amongst our volunteers. The result is what you hear. 

We had no particular plan as to what ambience to manifest through this song. However, from our experience, we find that it can be soulful, meditative or relaxing–soothing and settling. 

Let us know how you experience it!


Madhyamavathi

Mahashivarathri 2015 is almost here and here's a song to get you in the spirit of the season. Listen in and let the effortless jive sway you away.

Shiva Shiva

“Devotion is a dimension that will allow you to sail across even if you do not know the way.”– Sadhguru

“Eppadi Thaan…” was written by OothukaduVenkataSubbaiyar, and looks at life from the perspective of a devotee (of Krishna, in this song).
The song describes how once a person is devout, all they see is sweetness around them. The buzzing of bees becomes a song, Krishna’s mischief become endearing pranks, and his many heroics become awe-inspiring legends. Such is the sweetness of devotion that it transform’s the devotees experience of life in powerful ways.
Devotion has been an important part of spiritual processes in India. Stories of Radhe Krishna, Mira Bhai, and the Nayanmaars have been told and retold for centuries, and many devotees are seen as no differentthan the Divine. 

Sadhguru say, “Devotion is not an act; it is not directed towards something or the other; the object of devotion is immaterial. It is just that with devotion, you have dissolved all the resistance in you so that the divine can transpire like breath. The divine is not an entity sitting up there; it is a living force in every moment of your life.”


Eppadithan En Ullam

“The fundamental strength of India is that we are a land of seekers – seekers of truth and liberation. This spiritual thread is what keeps us together as a Nation.” – Sadhguru

‘Wholeness’ was a 90-Day program conducted by Sadhguru in 1994, with a small band of seekers. Many years later, with the Isha Yoga Center more established, ‘Wholeness’ became the name of a 7-Day introductory program, also conducted by Sadhguru.

One of our early attempts at instrumental music, this song, ‘Wholeness’, was intended as an ambience to start the program on the first day – a way for the participants to settle into Sadhguru’s presence and be open to the process.The name ‘Wholeness’ has managed to stick all these years, thanks to the program, but the music has undergone various transformations and permutations. We have also been fortunate to have several professional artists come and contribute their expertise, enhancing the overall musicality of the piece. Here is the latest rendering – a live recording in the presence of Sadhguru.

Wholeness

Shiv Dhun / Pt. Jasraj

Devi, the ultimate manifestation of the Mother Goddess, represents the creative and nurturing aspects of the universe. She is powerful and all-encompassing, the ultimate Giver.

An invocation to Devi Bhairavi, this song is a plea for Devi to come awake in one's heart and to take one across the ocean of life. It expresses the longing of the devotee to surrender at her feet. 

Come awake, O Bhairavi!
Come awake in my heart.
The wind is blowing, 
The water is rough.
O mother, 
Hold my hand and take me across..
I am,
But an ignorant child of yours. 
I have no knowledge.
I know no devotion.
I surrender to you,
All that I am. 
That you may simply
Allow me to sit at your feet.

Shiv Kailasho ke wasi

Bilwashtakam Lyrics - Shiva Bilwa Ashtakam Stotra Meaning
 
Bilwa Ashtakam, also spelled Bilwashtakam, Vilvashtakam, or Bilvashtakam, is the asthakam (ashtak) addressed to Lord Shiva. Bilwa Ashtakam is a highly powerful Sanskrit Shiva stotra which are the eight hymns chanted while offering Bilwa (Vilva) leaves to Lord Shiva. The Bilwa (Aegle Marmelos) leaves are one of the main offering to Lord Shiv and by offering Bilva leaves (Koovalam in Malayalam) a devotee can easily please Lord Shiva.

Chanting Bilwa Ashtakam especially on Maha Shivaratri is considered auspicious. Here is Lyrics of Bilwashtakam with English meaning. Bilwa Ashtakam devotional video song is provided after the Bilwashtakam Lyrics. Vilvashtakam translated in to English by P. R. Ramachander

Bilwa Ashtakam Lyrics - Prayer to Lord Shiva while offering Bilwa Leaf 

Tridalam Trigunakaaram Trinethram Cha Triyayusham,
Trijanma Papa Samharam Eka Bilwam Shivarpanam 1

I offer one leaf of Bilwa to Lord Shiva,
Which has three leaves,
Which causes three qualities,
Which are like the three eyes of Shiva,
Which is like the triad of weapons,
And which destroys sins of three births.

Trishakhai Bilwapathraischa Hyachidrai Komalai Shubai,
Shiva Poojam Karishyami, Eka Bilwam Shivarpanam 2

I offer one leaf of Bilwa to Lord Shiva,
Which has three shoots,
Which do not have holes,
Which are good and pretty,
And worship Lord Shiva.

Aganda Bilwa Pathrena Poojithe Nandikeshware,
Shudhyanthi Sarva Papebhyo, Eka Bilwam Shivarpanam 3

I offer one leaf of Bilwa to Lord Shiva,
For if an uncut leaf is offered,
To his steed the god Nandi,
We get cleaned of all our sins.

Salagrama Shilamekaam Vipranam Jatha Cha Arpayeth,
Soma Yagna Maha Punyam, Eka Bilwam Shivarpanam 4

I offer one leaf of Bilwa to Lord Shiva,
For it is equal to, offering a saligrama to a Brahmin,
Or the great blessing got out of performing Soma Yaga,

Dandi Koti Sahasrani Vajapeya Sathani Cha,
Koti Kanya Maha Danam, Eka Bilwam Shivarpanam 5

I offer one leaf of Bilwa to Lord Shiva,
For it is equal to gifting thousand elephants,
Or the performing of hundred fire sacrifices,
Or giving away billions of girls.

Lakshmyasthanutha Uthpannam Mahadevasya Cha Priyam,
Bilwa Vruksham Prayachami, Eka Bilwam Shivarpanam 6

I offer one leaf of Bilwa to Lord Shiva,
For it is equal to giving a tree of Bilwa,
Which was born from the breast of Lakshmi,
And which is very dear to the Lord Shiva.

Darshanam Bilwa Vrukshasya, Sparsanam Papa Nasanam,
Aghora Papa Samharam, Eka Bilwam Shivarpanam 7

I offer one leaf of Bilwa to Lord Shiva,
As seeing and touching of a tree of Bilwa,
Washes away ones sins and also very great sins.

Kasi Kshethra Nivasam Cha Kala Bhairava Darshanam,
Prayaga Madhavam Drushtwa, Eka Bilwam Shivarpanam 8

I offer one leaf of Bilwa to Lord Shiva,
After living in the city of Kasi,
Seeing the Kala Bhairawa,
And also visiting the temple
Of Madhawa in Allahabad.

Moolatho Brahma Roopaya, Madhyatho Vishnu Roopine
Agratha Shiva Roopaya, Eka Bilwam Shivarpanam 9

I offer one leaf of Bilwa to Lord Shiva,
As Brahma resides at its bottom,
Lord Vishnu lives in its middle,
And Lord Shiva lives in its tip.

Bilwashtakam Idham Punyaam, Padeth Shiva Sannidhou,
Sarva Papa Nirmuktha Shiva Loka Maapnuyath 10

Reading this holy octet of Bilwa,
In the presence of Lord Shiva,
Would save one from all sins,
And in the end take him to the world of Shiva.

Lyrics: 
 
Aadi kaal se jo hai aaya 
shoonya sthaan mein vo hai samayaa     
anant nabh pe jo hai chhaya
anahad naad jisne sunaya       
 
Jal vayu dharti agni
aakash anant har raag rang
Damaru naad se srishti banayi
racha divya aur bhavya prasang
 
Ghunghro kaa shor, Damaru kaa zor
nas nas mein ab raha goonj goonj
is divya naad par, brahma taal par
tandav nritya kare vo ghor
 
Yahan vahan jahan tahan, nahi kahan, Mahadev
jhoom jhoom magan bhaye, Mahadev 
sthir vo achal Yogi, Dhyani, Gyani, Mahadev
Yogi Shiv Mahadev
 
Poorna anant naa adi na ant
jo paap punya se pare rahe
jo soch ki hadon tak phaila
aur soch se pare bhi rahe
 
Sanyasi tapasvi bairagi
bhogi vo grihasth sansari
jhoom jhoom ke nritya rachaya
agale hi pal nishchal saya
 
Adiyogi ne rah batayi 
yog gyan ki bhent chadhayi
yog panth ki neenv rakhi aur
yog kraanti ki aas jagayi
 
Yahan vahan jahan tahan, nahi kahan, Mahadev
Jhoom jhoom magan bhaye, Mahadev 
sthir vo achal Yogi, Dhyani, Gyani, Mahadev
Yogi Shiv Mahadev
 
 
Meaning: 
 
One who exists since time immemorial
Has become one with nothingness
Has spread over the boundless space
The one who hit the unstruck sound 
 
One has created water, air, earth, fire
Infinite space, and every sound and color 
Has created the universe with the sound of the Damaru
Has crafted this grand context
 
Noise of ankle bells, power of the Damaru
Now reverberates in every nerve
On this divine sound, and Brahma's rhythm
He dances wild and performs the tandava 
 
Everywhere and nowhere – Mahadev
Lost in dance – Mahadev
The still one, the yogi, meditative
And enlightened – Mahadev
 
Absolute, infinite, without beginning or end
The one who is beyond sin and virtue
The one who is in every thought
And the one beyond the thought process
 
The one who is an ascetic
The one who is also a grihastha – the worldly one
The one who can dance with full exuberance
And in the next moment is capable of being still
 
This first yogi has paved the way
Has gifted the science of yoga
Has laid the foundation for the path of yoga
Kindled the longing for the ultimate
 
Everywhere and nowhere – Mahadev
Lost in dance – Mahadev
The still one, the yogi, meditative
And enlightened – Mahadev
