Dave Stringer & Tulsi Bloom - Bhagavati Sarasvati 06:48
lyrics
sarasvati ma mahadevi namoh namah bhagavati bhagavati bhagavati bhagavati maho arnah sarasvati pracetayati ketunaa dhiyo vishvaa viraajati namo namah namo namah The name Sarasvati means literally ‘she of the stream’ or 'one who flows', a quality that applies equally to breathing, thoughts, words, or the movement of a river. Sara also means 'essence' and sva means 'one self'. Taken together, 'the essence of oneself'. The Goddess of music and art and literature, she can also represent the movement of forms in time. She is the consort of Brahma, the lord of creation. According to Vedanta, Sarasvati represents creativity, fertility, intelligence, consciousness, communication, education, enlightenment, music, and the arts. Mahadevi means 'great goddess', and Bhagavati means 'full of ecstatic bliss'. Literal translation: Maho means great, and arnah means wave or flood or stream. Pra = towards, cetayati = awakening. Ketunaa is intellect, dhiyo is wisdom and vishvaa is universe. Vi = prefix of order, arrangement, raajati = shining. Namo namah means honor to the name. Sarasvati is a representation of the great wave or stream of knowledge that awakens the intellect. The shining wisdom in the universe.

Dave Stringer & Joni Allen - Jai Hanuman 05:53
lyrics
jai jai jai jai hanuman jai jai jai mahavira sita ram bolo jai sita ram bolo maggala mourati maruti nandana sakalaa mangala mula nikandana sri guru charana saroja raja nija manu mukuru sudhari Ram is a king who loses his kingdom to treachery, and his love, Sita, is kidnapped by demons. In the Ramayana, his epic journey to recover what he has lost, Ram encounters the monkey god Hanuman. And it is through the service and devotion of Hanuman that his love and the kingdom are restored. Mahavira means ‘mighty warrior’, and in this sense, a soldier of love and devoted service. The Ramayana is a great parable of the human condition. Springing forth from the divine, we are born as kings and queens in this world. But we lose our kingdom and our love to the demons of desire, attachment and anger, and wander in the wilderness trying to find our way home. The way to return is found in service. In giving, we access our better nature, opening our eyes to see that what we are searching for has been inside us all along. Son of the wind, embodiment of all blessings You remove all unhappiness by the root Taking the sacred dust from the Guru's lotus feet To cleanse the mirror of my mind

Dave Stringer & Sheela Bringi - Samba Sadashiva 06:01
lyrics
samba sadashiva samba sadashiva samba sadashiva hara shambho hey girijavara hey girijavara hey girijavara hara shambho hey mrityunjaya satchitasukhamaya hey karunamaya hara shambho hey karunakara hey karunakara hey karunakara hara shambho Shiva is the god of destruction and regeneration, and the witness of all that passes. The end of one thing is the beginning of another, and this image points toward non-attachment as a spiritual ideal. When all things are seen as being equal, a feeling of great compassion for all beings arises. The divine couple of Shiva and Parvati (also known as Girijaa or Shakti) symbolize the union of form and energy, renunciation and fidelity, and victory over the endless cycle of death and rebirth. Mrityunjaya means the conqueror of death. Satchitta Sukhamaya means being and consciousness in their sweetness and fullness. Karunamaya means full of compassion. Karunakara is the bestower of compassion and grace.
