Kundalini song

Behold the thread of Life

That guides the boat of soul

Through shallow stream of Time

To Ocean of Joy

The Truth that always wins

The Love that never binds

And gently gives us choice

To grow and enjoy

Our bodies, our minds

Are only shell of Maya

All dreams of mortal world

Will fade away like dust

But what we hold inside

Is our pure desire

The only real wish

To follow and trust -

Oh, Kundalini Ma,

We want to be the flow

Of Your Eternal Bliss,

The living breath of Thine,

From seed to mighty tree

Inside of us You grow

And take the spring of self

To the Ocean of Divine!

The ancient face of Time

Is changing its expression

As shadows and light

Create the day and night,

But sacred and untouched

You dwell in each creation

You are the Love of God

Revealed from inside.

We have a rare chance

In dawn of Golden Era

To feel Your rising shine

That shows us the way

So now to save the world

We all must come together

And at Your Lotus Feet

Inside of our hearts we pray -

Oh, Kundalini Ma,

We want to be the flow

Of Your Eternal Bliss,

The living breath of Thine,

From seed to mighty tree

Inside of us You grow

And take the spring of self

To the Ocean of Divine!

To a seeker

In morning light when stars are pale

You long to leave the nest

And then your journey sets the sail

For your eternal quest

Across the seas and mountain heights

So many roads go

But only one that reaches the Truth

Resides inside of you.

In rainy days you see the drops

But cannot see the way;

In piles of books you read the words

But meaning slips away

Across the seas and mountain heights

So many roads go

But only one that reaches the Truth

Resides inside of you.

In sea of Love the Time is still

And waves of spirit shine

And in the depth of heart you feel

The presence of Divine

Across the seas and mountain heights

So many roads go

But only one that reaches the Truth

Resides inside of you.

The Call of Love

Feel the call of Love within your soul

Walk across the world in each direction

Try to bring the peace to every home

And to turn into friends the fighting nations

Once you melt your heart in Joy of Spirit

Then in any land you’ll always find:

People are so caring, nice and friendly,

And the earth is generous and kind!

Chorus:

Believe your heart, believe your soul -

The Truth is one, the World is whole!

God’s Grace is beyond the creed and race,

God’s Love wants the whole World embrace:

On your palms feel the cool breeze:

It is thine, this gift of Divine!

Repeat:

Believe your heart, believe your soul -

The Truth is one, the World is whole!

My friend, all the wars will come to end

My friend, Truth and Love will always stand:

On your palms feel the cool breeze:

It is thine, this gift of Divine!

When the whole world will come together,

When the whole earth will get united,

Sea and Sky will memorize forever

Laugher and Joy of brothers reunited.

In the light of self-realization

From within the righteousness we’ll know

And completely new civilization

On the shores of Mother Earth will grow.

Chorus:

Believe your heart, believe your soul -

The Truth is one, the World is whole!

God’s Grace is beyond the creed and race,

God’s Love wants the whole World embrace:

On your palms feel the cool breeze:

It is thine, this gift of Divine!

Repeat:

Believe your heart, believe your soul -

The Truth is one, the World is whole!

My friend, all the wars will come to end

My friend, Truth and Love will always stand:

On your palms feel the cool breeze:

It is thine, this gift of Divine!

The Inner Guide

From job to job and from place to place

Something keeps you moving in life,

The life for you is an endless race

And for better always you strive.

A beast has a forest, a fish has a sea,

And a bird has the bottomless sky

But what makes you wander? what prompts you to seek

Hidden quest you cannot satisfy?

Within you it always was

Bright like the sun

And gentle like the rain

From depth of heart

It sweetly calls:

Chase for the truth

That you can attain!

But how to find it? where to start?

The directions are tricky to guess:

The ancient writings have fallen apart

And the paths have been lost in the grass...

And leaving at peace all confusion of Past

You are blazing your own trail anew

For there is a guide you rely on and trust

Very loving and loyal to you:

Within you it always was

Bright like the sun

And gentle like the rain

From depth of heart

It sweetly calls:

Chase for the truth

That you can attain!

The Wish of Truth

The wish of Truth inside us burns

And mind is tortured by

Ten thousands why

Unsure what to do and what to try

For spiritual thirst.

The thunderstorms of thoughts books are pouring from above

But we don’t care for words, we ask for Love:

Within our inner shrine there is a thirst for Pure Love...

If in the City of Joy you have lost your way

Busy life is making you to live your days away

And your mind just seems to you like a maze of highways

That lead nowhere,

Don’t leave the Hope, call for Mother, take Her hand

Your every beat of heart She understands

And never ends the presence of Her Love.

-- Alla Levitan

The Flowers

There are places troubled and poor in the whole wide world

People cry for our help but nobody would like to go

And only suddenly fair like a message of God

Among those poor grounds beautiful flowers grow:

Flowers don’t know the bad and good

Comforts and prestige they don’t know

They grow in every country, in every neighborhood

On stones and on sands the Flowers grow.

People like to create and compare brands

And according to taste they make divisions

And so they turned the earth into separate lands

And so they turned the truth into separate religions

But Flowers don’t know the bad and good,

Comforts and prestige they don’t know,

They grow in every country, in every neighborhood

On stones and on sands the Flowers grow.

And if we go all out and listen to our hearts

We’ll see that each person around is our sister or brother

We will feel that the earth is the whole and we’re only a part

And so we will not judge, but we will love each other

For Flowers don’t know the bad and good,

Comforts and prestige they don’t know,

They grow in every country, in every neighborhood

And lets wish that in our hearts these Flowers grow.

-- Alla Levitan

Home is Where the Heart Is.... at Peace

Photo: oasis by mands on flickr

A yogi guest mentioned how, over the past few weeks, he feels that the meditation area in our apartment is an oasis. A place for the vibrationally weary to put down their baggage of thoughts and drink from the fountain of vibrations. Little did he realize that he was a part of the reason why the oasis developed in the first place. His frequent visits keep us on track with meditation and self-purification activities. However, being there all the time, I was unable to appreciate his observation at the time.

After returning from a couple nights out of town, I came back and sat for meditation, expecting an uphill and long period of balancing before hitting a good meditative state. Contrary to expectations I experienced his experience: The instant oasis, which swept up the spirit and washed away the fatigue in a second.

Meditation is one of the most abstract and innate experiences, which is farthest from any mechanical activity. More like an art, it depends on how well you are placed towards yourself in the moment. Meditation melds us with the elements we come from, hence a well defined meditation space is not just a marker in our homes, but provides the required connection with the elements through it's pure energy and tokens of elements. The meditation area, with it's alter and the image of the preceptor provide this divine mix that puts the heart at peace instantly. Truely, home is where the heart is... at peace.
