Alaap - Songs from Darshan Vol.2

Isha

sadhguru

shri krishna

A live recording of the Nada Aradhana - an offering of sound - performed at the Dhyanalinga as part of the Consecration Day celebrations.

Nada in Sanskrit means “sound” and Aradhana signifies “devotional offering”. Nada Aradhana is an intuitive synthesis of vocals and instruments performed twice daily in the Dhyanalinga at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore.

An enchanting mix of singing bowls and assorted natural musical instruments in conjunction with voices, Nada Aradhana is a live offering that enables listeners to slip effortlessly into a receptive mode, making them available to the energies and Grace of the Dhyanalinga, and allowing them to experience deep states of meditation.

This instrumental rendition of the Yogeshwaraya chant is by bansuri maestro Rakesh Chaurasia. Playing mesmerizingly, he gives a surreal feel to this ancient chant.

In the Indian tradition, Shiva, the Adiyogi has many forms, each of which represents a powerful possibility for inner evolution. Yogeshwaraya - meaning the lord of Yoga - is a musical offering to Adiyogi by Sounds of Isha, Pandit Jasraj and Rakesh Chaurasia.

In the yogic tradition, Shiva is not worshiped as a God. He is the Adiyogi, the first Yogi, and Adi Guru, the First Guru from whom the yogic sciences originated. Guru Purnima is celebrated as the day when Adiyogi began the transmission of these sciences to the Saptarishis, his first seven disciples. So this Guru purnima, this is our musical garland. An offering of different renditions of the Yogeshwaraya chant to the Adiyogi.

Lyrics and Meaning:

Yogeshwaraya Mahadevaya
The Lord of Yoga, the great one

Trayambakaya Tripurantakaya
Three-eyed one, destroyer of the Tripura

Trikagni Kalaya Kalagni Rudraya
He who like fire, devours the past, present and future within himself

Neelakantaya Mrityunjayaya
Blue-throated one, who has conquered death

Sarveshwaraya Sadashivaya 
Lord of everything, the eternal one

Mahadevaya Namaha
Oh great one, we bow down to you

Yogeshwaraya - The Source Of Yoga

Yogeshwaraya Mahadevaya Instrumental - Rakesh Chaurasia | Bansuri | Shiva stotram

What does it mean to be a devotee? For one whose very being is drenched constantly in the grace of the Guru, what is his or her experience of life? Ahista is one such expression of a devotee’s life.

Lyrics and Meaning: 

Har sans jo main loon
Badhata hai tumhara nasha 
Ahista ahista ahista ahista 
Badhata hai tumhara nasha

With every breath that I take,
You intoxicate my being,
Slowly…
You continue to intoxicate me

Aakhein milaun ya nazarein jhukaun
Tere paas rahun mein ya door chali jaaun
Jaagti rahun mein ya neend mein basi rahoon

Whether I look at you or not,
Whether I stay close to you or move away,
Whether I stay awake or fall asleep,

Har sans jo main loon

With every breath that I take...

Agar kuch kahoon ya khamoshi suna doon
Pyar se muskuraoon ya aasun bahaun
Tumhe agar mein chahun ya nafarat dikhaun

Whether I say something or stay silent,
Whether I smile lovingly or cry,
Whether I love you or show anger,

Har sans jo main loon
Badhata hai tumhara nasha 
Ahista ahista ahista ahista 
Badhata hai tumhara nasha

With every breath that I take..

Ahista | Sadhguru's Enlightenment Day | September 23rd

In this Devotional Poem written in the 14th century, #Surdas describes how he finds true joy in his Guru, and nowhere else. Watch this space for more songs from #Alaap - Songs from Sadhguru  #darshans. 

Lyrics and Meaning:

Mero man anat kahan sukh pavai
Where else can my mind find endless joy?

Jaise udi jahaj ko panchhi, phir jahaz par avai
Like a bird that soars away from a ship in the ocean, only to return

Kamal-nain ko chhandi mahatam, aur dev ko dhyavai
Like having seen his lotus eyes, one still goes looking elsewhere

Param gang ko chhandi piyaso, duramati koop khanavai
Like a thirsty man who ignores the mighty Ganga and digs a well for water like a fool!

Jihin madhukar anbuj ras chakhyo, kyon karil phal khaavai
Having tasted the sweet nectar of a lotus, why should a bee go for a bitter fruit? 

Surdas prabhu kamadhenu taji, chheri kaun duhavai
Surdas says, when the holy Kamadhenu herself is available, why would one milk a goat?

"I always long to remain in your presence, oh lord", yearns Gopalakrishna Bharati, the 18th century Carnatic composer,  in this ode to #Shiva. Enjoy this rendition by #SoundsofIsha played during one of the darshans with Sadhguru.

Lyrics and Meaning:

Enneramum undan sannidhiyile naan 
irukka venum ayya, Ponnayya

Let me, at all times, remain in your presence, oh divine being...
 
Thennam sholai thazhaikkum 
thenpuliyur Ponnambalattarase en arase naan
 
In these flourishing groves of your holy abode!
 
Panchakshara padiyum kodikambamum 
koyilazhagum aridhaana rahasiyamum
 
The 5 sacred stairs, the temple flag-staff
The beauty, the invaluable secrets of your abode...
 
Anjal koorum dheerga manigal osaiyum 
andhakarana mayakkam theerndhu paadikkondu
 
And the inviting sound of the temple bells
Had kept me enchanted..
 
Dispelled of this enchantment, I continue singing in your praise!

Vitthala Salaho Swami | Purandara Dasa | ವಿಠ್ಠಲ ಸಲಹೋ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ | Alaap - Songs from Sadhguru's Darshan

This poem is a musing by #Kabir on the transient nature of our physical body. He reflects on how we are but a brief wrinkle in time, but how in so many ways we are knotted up in life!

Lyrics and Meaning:

Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why are you so occupied with your body?
It will merge with the earth one day...

Pawan chale ud jana re pagle
Samay chook pachhtana
The winds are enough to blow you away, o fool!
If you waste this time, you will regret it...

Chaar janaa mil gadhi banai 
Chadhaa kath ki doli 
People will just make a palanquin...
And put your body on a pyre

Chaaron taraf se aag laga di
Phoonk diye re jaise holi
They will set fire to you from four directions
Just like a Bonfire... 

Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why are you so occupied with your body?
It will merge with the earth one day...

Haad jalen jaise ban ki lakadiyan
Kes jale jaise ghaansa
Your bones will burn as easily as twigs...
And your hair as easily as hay
 
Kanchan jaise kaya jal gayi
Koi na aaye Paasa
This body that you value as precious gold, will simply burn away…
And no one will even come close to you

Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why are you so occupied with your body?
It will merge with the earth one day...
 
Teen dina teri tiriya roye
Tera dina tera bhai
Your wife may mourn for three days
Maybe your brothers will mourn for thirteen...
 
Janam janam teri mata roye
Koi na aaye Paasa
Your mother might mourn for lifetimes...
But none will come near you

Kya tan manjhta re
Ik din maati mein mil jana
Why are you so occupied with your body?
It will merge with the earth one day...

Kya Tan Manjhta | Kabir | क्या तन मांजता |  Devotional Poem | Alaap

Oru Murai

September 23rd

Un Padham

"My heart is now drunk on love, I find no need to speak", sings Kabir, intoxicated by the bliss he found within. Listen to our rendition of this timeless song, offered at Sadhguru Darshan. 

Lyrics and Meaning:

Aaj badra utha prem ka
Hum par barsa hoi
Clouds of love have risen today...
They have showered down on me

Harshili ho gayi aatma
Hari bhari ban rayi
The life within me is now full of joy…
And the world around me serene

Mann mast hua, ab kya bole
My heart is now drunk on love, I find no need to speak…

Kya bole phir kya bole 
Oh how can i describe this!

Halki thi jab chadi taraaju, Puri bhari ab kyon tole;
i climbed the weighing scale, when i felt small
what is the need to measure, now that i feel full!

Mann mast hua, ab kya bole
My heart is now drunk on love, I find no need to speak…

Heera paaya, baandh gathariya, Baar-baar vaa ko kyon khole;
I have found an invaluable gem and tied it safely within...
Why open the knot again and again?

Mann mast hua, ab kya bole
My heart is now drunk on love, I find no need to speak…

Hansa nahaaya Mann sarovar, taal taleiya mein kyon dole;
This swan has bathed in the lake Manasarovar...
Now why would it dwell in ponds and puddles?

Mann mast hua, ab kya bole
My heart is now drunk on love, I find no need to speak…

Kehat kabir suno bhayi saadho, Sahib mil gayaa til ole
Kabir says, listen dear fellow seekers, I have found the divine even in a grain!

Mann mast hua, ab kya bole
My heart is now drunk on love, i find no need to speak

Mann Mast Hua | Kabir | मन मस्त हआ

Daridraya Dahana Stotram

Kalabhairavashtakam

Shiva Shadakshara Stotram

Chidambareshvara Stotram

Mystics have always used sound in ways far beyond the realm of mere entertainment - by breathing in an ethereal dimension into simple rustic sounds from life around to give us a taste of the beyond. A simple twang of the ektara often did what a thousand words could not do to touch people.

Sounds of Isha is Sadhguru's own home grown, anomalous group of 'musicians' - inspired by their deep yearning and sense of gratitude. Dabbling with and melting into their instruments, their work is a subtle fusion of the rich and diverse beings that they are. The group members are full-time volunteers with Isha Foundation, living a life of dedication and austerity; thus, their inspirational songs are usually created after a full day's activity, due to their passion and zest to share a different dimension of the foundation's work.

Their melodies are a fusion of music from different parts of the world - traversing effortlessly and seamlessly across boundaries and cultures. Whilst the music of these songs sooth our minds and the melodies enthrall us, the true potential of the songs is in their capability to instill in us an element of the eternal silence that touches the core of the human being. The performances of Sounds of Isha are set apart to deliver a potent and intoxicating ethereal concoction, transporting those who listen into subtler states of being - becoming the basis for inner exploration.
