Rangi Re - Devotional Bhajans

Dyeing cloth in natural colors is an ancient art in India. Just as these colors are vibrant and do not wear off, so also is the devotee’s mind, which is steadily absorbed in the divine name! Rangi Re is an album which celebrates the sweetness of the Divine Name in every song and doesn’t fail to color the hearts of its listeners as well.
One of the most lilting tunes is ‘Chalti chakki’ composed by Paltu and set to tune by Gurumaaji. This song is about the entire world getting crushed under the grindstone of dreams and attachments and the way out is to look up to a saint who never swerves from the path of truth. The album has some enchanting poems of Swami Brahmanand, imploring humans to see divinity in all creation and the sweetness of the Divine Name of Lord Rama. ‘Gagan mein magan’ is a song full of joy where Das Paltu shows the path of truth through love, knowledge and devotion.
Gurumaaji weaves all these songs together into a garland for the Beloved with her offerings like ‘Pyare preet lagi tere sang’ and ‘Prano se karte pooja’.
The rose in this garland is the title song “Rangi Re”, full of love, drenched in divine name and completely surrendered to the Divine Will.

Samarpan - Spiritual Hindi Bhajan

A heart that offers a prayer to the divine every moment of the day, needs no special time of the day to bow down at the altar. The path of love and surrender is the most expensive deal of life, where a lover offers everything he has including his own self to the beloved. Samarpan is an album in which Gurumaaji colors the hearts of seekers with this very color of love and surrender!
Every song reflects innocence and freshness of pure love. ‘Prem Se Bhar Ke Dil Ki Jholi’ is a song where a seeker empties her heart full of love at the feet of the Master, seeking his grace. In ‘Kuch Lena Na Dena Magan Rehna’ Kabir asks seekers to be free from all worries of life and be firmly devoted to the Guru. ‘Jo Aisi Kripa’ is a plaintive song, where a seeker prays to the Lord seeking guidance to live life aright. ‘Teri yaad mein jab aasoon’ composed by Gurumaaji reflects the sweet pain of a lover, lost in rememberance of the beloved. ‘Saiyon Nee Main Apne Pritam Ko Manaongi’ is a beautiful song of love, where Swami Ramtirth assumes a female role of a lover and tries to woo the Lord himself! ‘Yeh To Prem Ki Baat Hai Udhav’ is a playful song where the Gopis describe the path of love which is not easy to follow by people who analyze love logically. ‘Jagdish Ish Pyare’ is a wonderful composition of Swami Brahmanand where he welcomes the emperor of the universe to reside in his heart!
A rare collection of poems of great saints, rendered lovingly by Gurumaaji makes Samarpan a surrender in the truest sense of the word!

Waheguru - Waheguru Simran - Waheguru Jaap

Let your heart be filled with the blissfulness of Waheguru chanting by Anandmurti Gurumaa. It begins with the Exposition of the gurmantra, which literally in Punjabi means ‘The Wonderful Lord’ and expresses the state of wondrous ecstasy. As Exposition explains the profound meaning of Waheguru, with Incantation begins the soul-stirring chanting of the mesmerising name of the Lord which eliminates the spiritual darkness. And then comes Invocation, invoking the divine with the dynamic chanting. It presents the chanting with breath – a unique way to chant the name with total involvement. As it is said that one should remember the Lord with every breath, this track exemplifies the meaning of being in remembrance with every breath. Truly entrancing! All the calling, all the remembrance is because we mortals have forgotten our true divine nature and we pray to the almighty to make us one with him. And with this culminates the album as the lover merges with the beloved, the seeker merges with the divine, the devotee merges with the Lord in Communion.

Love, longing, communion, celebration are the fragrance of the flowers beaded in this album to fill your life with eternal bliss. Listen to it again and again to evoke divinity within!

Maha Mrityunjaya - Chants, Meditation Mantra

Om triyambakam yajamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam,
Urvarukamiva bandhanan mrrityormokshiya

We worship Shiva - The three-eyed (triyambakam) Lord (yajamahe), who is fragrant (sugandhim) and nourishes (pushti) and grows (vardhanam) all beings. As the ripened cucumber (urvarukamiva) is liberated (bandhanan) (‘by the intervention of the farmer’) from its bondage to the creeper when it fully ripens, may He liberate us (mokshiya) from death (mrityor), for the sake of immortality (mamrritat).

When we pray to Lord Shiva, we are in essence asking for his blessings and assistance in opening our third eye of spiritual wisdom. The natural consequence of this awakening is that we will be lead towards spiritual liberation or moksha, and attain freedom from the cycles of death and rebirth. The goal of chanting this mantra is to spiritually ripen so that Lord Shiva can free us from all bondages.

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is hailed by the sages as the heart of the Rigveda. It is a great death conquering mantra, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Shiva is the God of death. It is said those who worship Shiva, untimely death can never come to them. It is also believed that to overcome the fear of death, Lord Shiva himself gave humanity the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra. This mantra has many names and forms. It is also called the Rudra Mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Shiva; the Tryambakam Mantra, alluding to Shiva’s three eyes. This mantra restores health, happiness and brings calmness in the period of death. The mantra should ideally be repeated 108 times, twice daily, at dawn and at dusk.
