Sing this song at a slow place. Everyone must be able to follow the lyrics and the meaning of the song. Keep the tabla sound low. During Navaratri this harati song addressed to Mother Goddess is sung. During the Navaratri celebrations, at the conclusion of Puja every day, this harati song is sung while waving the sacred light before Mother Goddess. Therefore, I wish every one of you to learn this song. When Lord Hanuman had the darshan of Mother Sita (in Lanka), at that time, Lord Hanuman Himself sang this harati song while offering worship to Mother Sita. The song is very much like Hanuman’s Harati song; this song is similar to that. Please learn it. Follow the meaning. (The lyrics are available on Bhajan Mala app. You many download on most devices).
Many people are asking for details about Ragasagara and Yoga Sangeeta. They are the same and yet are entirely different. Ragasagara gives only Swamiji’s music concerts. Yoga Sangeeta gives live programs, arranges our travel tickets, and arrangements for all our music concerts. Yoga sangeeta has lots of responsibilities. Ragasagara also has many responsibilities. www.dycusa.org is mother. Grandmother is dattapeetham.com. Yoga sangeeta is for prachar/publicity. DYC (Datta Yoga Center) is number one. Understand and serve. Serve Hanuman. Be a part of Hanuman Setubandha project also. Do meditation.
Healing music is different from meditation music. Healing music is only what is done by Swamiji in person. For Pranayama, Kriya Yoga and Meditation, you may use meditation music. Healing music is different. Just listening to CD is not healing music. You may listen to meditation music during Pranayama, Kriya Yoga and Meditation. Only in Swamiji’s presence it becomes healing music. In Los Angeles, what will be played is healing music. Use Play away or Zodiac tunes to listen to before going to bed. That is personal music. In temple hall, we will arrange for healing purpose, music in Swamiji’s immediate presence. For Kriya Yoga, Hatha Yoga you use only meditation music. Do not call it healing music then. Bhajans are in my body. In my heart is healing music. You do not understand. Take CD, listen before going to bed. Your bed is itself your healing room. Swamiji Himself comes there in a different (subtle) way.
Initiation, giving Jnana/spiritual knowledge, is all a personal, intimate experience of individuals. It cannot be explained. Zodiac tunes is available here. Your own bedroom becomes a healing room when you play Play away or Zodiac tunes. Swamiji’s protection is given there. In Los Angeles I will see many devotees.
First day (when I arrived here) I am very happy. Now heavy heart because I have to leave. I go now. Those people there are now very enthused that Swamiji is coming. One place is crying. One place is happy. Always traveling. That is my duty. Okay.
