November 7, 2021
Watch this lovely public performance of "Divine Ma", with words by Nayaswami Jyotish set to the popular American song "Shenandoah", sung by a men's ensemble at Ananda Palo Alto, CA.
Lyrics by Nayaswami Jyotish
O Divine Mother, I long to know You.
Fade away, O world of maya.
Divine Mother, I long to know You.
Away, I’m bound away into the deep sushumna.
O Divine Mother, I long to see You.
Fade away, O gaudy maya.
Divine Mother, I long to see You.
Away, I’m bound away through the bright Kutastha.
O Divine Mother, I long to hear You.
Fade away, O noise of maya.
Divine Mother, I long to hear You.
Away, I’m bound away to merge into the bliss of AUM.
A Palo Alto men's ensemble performed this song as a surprise for Jyotish and Devi during their visit to Palo Alto this weekend. It was recorded as part of a project to help people understand how they can record video and audio of Ananda music performances and other events simply and affordably (to be posted soon on https://anandagarden.com/).
