2 Prayers

from the Upanishads, interpreted in compositions for guitars and sitar, offer prayers for 'the end of suffering.'

The Upanishads are an ancient Indian text, containing the oral teachings of their teachers. These teachings are believed to reflect the earliest philosophical thoughts on life and the universe through poetry, stories and meditation.

If you love the sound of plucked lutes and sitar, this is your jam. A modern jazz version of the ancient prayers, composed by a unique combination of plucked lutes, guitar and sitar, composed with beautiful solos and a passionate singer representing the Goddess herself.

May all be freed from danger,

Hmmm…

May all realize

what is good…,

May all be actuated

by noble thoughts,

May all rejoice

everywhere….

May the wicked

become virtuous,

May the virtuous

be tranquil,

May the tranquil

be free from bonds,

May the freed can make others fr--e--e.

May the POWER OF MUSIC

be satisfied…

May the power be pleased,

for the whole world becomes pleased.

May the power of music

be satisfied

hmmm…

For the be power being satisfied,

the universe is satisfied.

PEACE, PEACE, Peace, Peace, Peace, Peace, Peace, Peace.

The end of Suffering

I first encountered these verses during the Sunday prayer meetings at Vedanta Society, Vallejo Street in San Francisco where I listened to Swamiji Prabuddhananda.
