Meditate with me by the fire.  Listen to the morning sounds of the crackling Ashram fire, Indian Roosters, Wild Peacocks (meowing sounds), hooting monkeys and hundreds of birds waking to the new day.   www.siddhanath.org

Lyrics and meaning (from karnAtik.com (http://www.karnatik.com/c1002.shtml))

pallavi:

brOva bhAramA raghurAmA bhuvanamella nIvai nannokani

anupallavi:

shrI vAsudEva anDakOTula gukSiNi yuncakOlEdA nannu

caraNam:

kalashAmbudhilO dayatO namarulakai adigAka gOpi
kalakai koNDa letta lEdA karuNAkara tyAgarAjuni

Meaning:
Oh Karunaakaraa (a name for Vishnu), is it a heavy burden for you to protect a single soul like me? You are the whole universe itself and as Krishna showed it all to be in your stomach. Have you not lovingly borne for the sake of the Devas the whole weight of Mount Mandara when the ocean was churned, and have you not lifted Mount Govardhan for the sake of Gopis?

Brovabarama - Vijay Kannan Ft. Uma Ram and Balakrishna

Set in raga Dés, India's National Song, Vande Mataram in its original tune has had many different versions but then nothing like the original right?

So here I have played my take on the original version of this beautiful song.

vAsanthi - Raga - Flute - Harp

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath was born in Gwalior (northern), India on May 10, 1944, and is descended from the ancient family of Ikshavaku Rama of the Solar Dynasty. Though he belonged to a royal family, with all the comforts of palace life, he was a born siddha and went into spontaneous enlightened states from the age of 3. Spiritually realized from a very young age, he cast away his royal ties after completing his educational responsibilities and fulfilled his calling as a yogi. 

While traveling as a teenager in the Himalayas, Yogiraj was blessed and empowered by the spiritual supermen of the Himalayan caves. His divine transformation flowered after his deep and personal experiences with the supreme yogi-Christos known as the Mahavatar (Supreme Spirit Incarnate) Shiva-Goraksha-Babaji (the same mentioned by Paramahansa Yogananda in his "Autobiography of a Yogi"). With these blessings he was charged with the duty to spread the teachings of "Earth peace through Self peace" and spiritual evolution of Consciousness through the divine science of Kundalini Kriya Yoga meditation. 

For over 40 years, Yogiraj has healed and transformed millions all over the world with his transmissions of kundalini shakti energy and has shared freely his own Samadhi (enlightened state) of peaceful bliss-consciousness. Yogiraj has taught yoga and spirituality to world leaders and has given experiential discourse before the United Nations, yet he prefers nothing more than to sit in the simple pristine forests and mountains and meditate on God in tranquility. 

In that spirit, Yogiraj built with his wife the Hamsa Yoga Sangh Mother Center, the Siddhanath Forest Ashram in the gentle valley of Sita Mai outside the city of Pune, in the Simhagad region. His wife of 35 years, Gurumata Shivangini (affectionately called Ayie or "Mother" by Yogiraj's students) is a powerful yogini in her own right. Together they have raised two children and are now proud grandparents, demonstrating by example that it is not necessary to live as a renunciate in order to meditate and achieve enlightenment.

They spend much time at the Siddhanath Forest Ashram, which is also available to all sincere seekers worldwide to come and rejuvenate spiritually. It is a Siddha Peeth (land spiritualized by the shakti of a spiritual master), a Tapo-Bhoomi (kundalini power center), and holds one of the earth's most powerful Earth Peace temples. This temple houses the largest known solid parasmani (alchemical mercury) Shivalinga, which alchemically transmutes the mercurial mind which meditates upon it into a still mind of enlightened Consciousness.

Yogiraj is a TRUE MASTER who, unlike a teacher, awakens you to the next level of spiritual experience. View his worldwide tour schedule here. He can be seen on Youtube anytime for free from the comfort of your living room as well.

Yogiraj’s Contribution to the Yogic Treasury:

SHIVAPAT – Sharing his Enlightened Consciousness of thoughtless awareness resulting in Spiritual Evolution which brings about a Unified Field of Consciousness amongst the people.

SHAKTIPAT – Transmitting center to center in the disciple’s Chakras the Kundalini Energy which burns their negative karmas.

PRANAPAT – Breathing His spiritual Prana (life force) through the breath of the disciples in their spinal cord flushing out all toxins & emotional stress.

HAMSA – The Hamsa means the Swan and symbolizes the Soul in each one of us corresponding to the 3rd 
and lateral ventricals in our brains. The superconscious states of a Yogi experienced in these ventricals are clearly documented in his film “Wings to Freedom”. He bestows the superconscious state on deserving disciples who have practiced Kriya Yoga assiduously and have prepared their mind and body to receive the implosion of superconscious realization.
