 We bow to Shiva the Transformer. 
Auspicious and Awesome, 
Dancing away 
Veils of Illusion. 

Primordial Being,
Wearer of the silvery moon, 
Freeing us from the bonds of Time, 
We bow to you.  Love – Sri Maha Mrityunjaya Healing Mantra Round and round and round we go Free like a river as we flow Fruit of the vine divine we grow Keeping close to the glow we know Love is the road we’re taking Love is the journey we’re making Love is the door that is opening Love is the grace that is flowing in Love without measure Gold solar treasure We are the weather, divine pressure… Om Tryayambakam Yajaamahe Sugandhim Pushti Vardhanam Urvaarukamiva Bandhanaan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamrutaat (repeat all) (lyrics by Sudama and music by Sudama and Steve Miles c. 2014) Traditional Maha Mryityunjaya Mantra translates as: I worship the three-eyed Lord Shiva whose fragrance nourishes all beings. May I cling as closely to him as the cucumber clings to the vine. May he grant me liberation from the cycle of birth and death… He Govinda (trad.) He Govinda He Gopala Narayana Narayana Radhe Gocharana It is normally chanted with the line “rakkho sharana” but somehow Radhe wanted to be in there; and then Krishna showed up as Gocharana “cow ranger” to save the day with extra syllable… A chant to the joyous beingness that is love! “Go” means cow in Sanskrit. The sacred cow is a symbol of abundance. Those who take care of the garden and the nurturers are gods on this Earth! Narayana is Lord Vishnu the sustainer! The beauteous Radhe is the lover of Krishna (Vishnu’s agent, the Lord of the cow range!) Panduranga (trad.) Rama Krishna Hare Mukunda Murare Panduranga Panduranga Panduranga Hare Panduranga and Vitthale are names for Krishna in the Marathi language, associated with the city of Pandharpur, India. Jai Jai Vitthale (trad) Jai Jai Vitthale Jaya Hare Vitthale Vitthale is specifically the dark skinned South Indian rendering of Krishna who stands on a brick. Maha Mantra (trad.) Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Nityanandam Brahmanandam (trad.) Nityanandam Brahmanandam Brahmasvarupam Neelavarnam Trilokanatham Shri Gurudevam Om Namo Nityanandam “Lord Nityananda, the veritable bliss of Brahman, and the very form of Brahman, blue in color, Shri Gurudev, Lord of the Three Worlds, We bow to you!” Homnath and Pramod Upadhyaya - father and son - are playing tablas on this live track with some studio magic. They are Royal Court musicians from Nepal. Nityananda Mahan (trad.) Nityananda Mahan Jaya Sadaguru Bhagavan “Victory to Nityananda the Great Guru of Everlasting Bliss” I sang this every morning in Baba’s ashram for many years and still do sometimes. Sarasvati Mantras (trad.) Yaa Kundendu Tushara Hara Dhavala Yaa Shubra Vastravrta Yaa Veena Varadanda Mandita Kara Yaa Shveta Padmasana Yaa Brahma Chyuta Shankara Prabhrtibhir Devaih Sadaa Vandita Saa Maam Paatu Sarasvati Bhagavati Nihshesha Jadypaha Oh Goddess Sarasvati, lovely as a jasmine flower, the moon or a snow flake, clad in white adorned with a veena, seated in a white lotus, adored by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva Please protect us.
