Sounds of Isha

Yogeshwaraya

‘Mahārāja Parīkṣit attained the highest perfection, shelter at Lord Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet, simply by hearing about Lord Viṣṇu. Śukadeva Gosvāmī attained perfection simply by reciting Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Prahlāda Mahārāja attained perfection by remembering the Lord. The goddess of fortune attained perfection by massaging the transcendental legs of Mahā-Viṣṇu. Mahārāja Pṛthu attained perfection by worshiping the Deity, and Akrūra attained perfection by offering prayers unto the Lord. Vajrāṅgajī [Hanumān] attained perfection by rendering service to Lord Rāmacandra, and Arjuna attained perfection simply by being Kṛṣṇa’s friend. Bali Mahārāja attained perfection by dedicating everything to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa.’ - CC Madhya 22.136

02 Shri Shiva Kavacha Strotam

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

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.

“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.

Adi Shankara emphasizes the importance of devotion for God as a means to spiritual development and to liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The prayer leaves one in no doubt that the renunciation of our egotistical differences and surrender to God makes for salvation. Many scholars hold that this composition encapsulates with both brevity and simplicity the substance of all Vedantic thought found in whatever other works that Adi Shankara wrote.

Bhaja Govindam sung by Sadhguru, Lyrics by Adi Shankara

The Rainforest Cowboy is wishing everyone in Bhutan a very special holiday season.  We'll be exploring more about Bhutan in future tracks.  Bhutan is located just north of India, and west of China and is a land-locked nation of about 800,000 people.  Exceptionally beautiful, absolutely gorgeous and the amazing people there - something else.  

This was the track I had meant to post, but, both are pretty good.  I hope I got the instruments correct, let me know, please.  All my love to the people of Bhutan..  I've been researching Bhutan for a while now since I noticed many listeners there - I try to understand various cultures.  I went with Bhutan first over other nations as with less then a million people it's easy to have your nation overlooked ... so I wanted to make a special effort to get to know Bhutan and that myself and the listeners all care about you.

I'm using traditional instruments of Bhutan: dranyen (six-string lute), lingm (bamboo flute), chiwang (two-string fiddle), dramnyen (folk version of the dranyen), and yangchen (dulcimer-like hammered instrument) in this song.
