Her Son's Oath

Her son’s oath
Mother I am so grateful for all your giving us
Everything we need to lead a life of peace and happiness
Some of my brothers and sisters are selfish they want more than they need
They beat, rape, and steal from you to satisfy their greed
I swear mother to stand in defiance of this abomination
I will not co-operate in their society’s exploitation
Mother Nature
She is crying
She is dying
Giving up city life and city life’s complications
I will shelter in the country for simple life and meditations
Leaving aside the modern fashions designed to excite sexual attraction
I’ll wear simple homespun cotton from our village plantation
I’ll not eat foods of blood and flesh cause my body’s not a graveyard
I’ll eat grains and vegetables fresh saying praise to God
Mother Nature
She is crying
she is dying
somebody help our mother
somebody hear our mother
somebody cure our mother
somebody love our mother
somebody protect our mother
somebody help our mother
somebody respect our mother
somebody hear our mother

Vraja
03:45
|
|||
(inspired by the Gopal-tapani Upanishad)
Vraja is decorated with wish fulfilling trees and creepers
which year round produce fruits and flowers of all seasons
That transcendental land is filled with various birds sweet sounds
and in all directions the humming of bumblebees resounds
Vraja, it’s our dear Lord’s home
Vraja, let’s go back home
The ground is made of brilliant jewels, which dazzlingly shine
equal to a myriad of suns rising in the sky at one time
On the ground is a garden of trees, which fulfill all desires
always showering divine love on whom to achieve it aspires
Vraja, where we all come from
Vraja, it’s our dear Lord’s home
Vraja, where we all belong
Vraja, let’s go back home
Why suffer in this material world
of birth, death ,old age and disease?
Friends, let’s return to Vraja, our real home
and live in bliss and knowledge eternally
In the garden is a jeweled temple made of gold and rubies
beautified with arches and colored canopies
In the temple is a great jewel inlaid throne
In this way I meditate on Vraja our Lord’s home

Holy Name
04:00
|

Holy Name, I can’t see
in this dark world, I’m blind with misery
Holy Name, be kind to me
reveal Yourself and set me free
Associate with drinkers, become a drinker
Associate with thinkers, become a thinker
Associate with preachers, become a preacher
Become happy when with You
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thee and Thy Name
are one and the same
Holy Name, You are shining
like ten million brilliant suns rising
Holy Name, I’m freezing
fill me with Your light of love warming
Associate with money, become worldly
Associate with sages, become saintly
Associate with crazies, become crazy
Become happy when with You
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thee and Thy Name
are one and the same
Hallowed be Thy Name

Divine Love
04:05
|
|||
(inspired by Srila Narottam das Thakur)
The Divine Couple are my life and soul
They are my refuge and my ultimate goal
O’ to behold Their moon-like faces
it’s the fervent prayer of perfected sages
On a river shore in a Kadamba forest
I will place Them on a throne to rest
I will anoint Their forms dark and fair
with sandalwood paste beyond compare
I sing for love, Divine love
I sing for love, Radha Krishna love
I will decorate Their flower bowers
I will garland Them with jasmine flowers
I will serve Them with a peacock fan
awaiting Their divine command
With Lalita and Visaka’s permission
I will serve Them without remission
This servant of the servant of the servant
of the servant of Lord Caitanya prays
for divine service in Radha Krishna’s plays
I sing for love, Divine love
I sing for love, Radha Krishna love

Modern Education
03:40
|
|||
Though advanced in certification
he’s bound by selfish motivation
Thinks ‘this is mine, that’s for other’s
Educated man, we’re all brothers
Thinks money is sweeter than honey
Works day and night it’s not funny
Engaged in economic strife
Educated man lives a slaves life
Modern education
Modern sophistication
Program the innocent children
Modern education
Real education is knowing:
Our Father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy kingdom come
Thy Will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
What profiteth a man
if he gains the whole world
but loses his eternal soul?
The body of his wife
inspiration of his life
Dust to dust ashes to ashes
Educated man reality crashes
Ignoring self realization
for cheap sense gratification
available to dogs and cats
Educated man, so called aristocrat
Modern education
Modern sophistication
Program the innocent children
Modern education

I Belong to You
04:13
|
|||
It’s a deep ocean my heart’s world
Searching for wealth and fame and a pretty girl
For these I labor night and day
Lust is wasting me away
I belong to You
how can I give You what’s not mine?
Please give me to You,
let me be with You one more time
The sound of Your name is so sublime
Take my heart and enchant my mind,
Transcend all space and time
Leave this mortal world behind
Without You my life is worthless
oh Krishna, all my endeavors fruitless
If You bestow Your kindness to me
then You’ll make me Yours eternally
Illusion’s caught me in her net
Her noose is set around my neck
Please take up Your sword of mercy
and set me, Your servant ,free
I belong to You…

Wild Life
04:33
|
|||
Animals killed with a gun
for fur, food, and fun
Rainforests stripped annually
for meat and lumber industry
Topsoil leached devitalized
fertilizers intensified
Pesticides cancer causing
genocide poisoning
Wildlife, endangered, exploited, and abused
Politicians and businessmen blinded by greed
spiritual revolution is what we need
No problem can be solved by the consciousness that made it
we need social transformation if we want to save our planet
Toxic waste accidents,
spillage from the nuclear plants
Polluted air we’re forced to breathe
from the cars and factories
Acid rain burns like lemon juice
kills fish and trees corrodes statues
Global warming of the atmosphere
weather patterns are changing here
Out of hand complexity
industrial society
Environmental neglectfulness
It’s a crisis of consciousness

Wake Up
03:56
|
|||
(inspired by Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur)
Wake up! So wake up! All you sleeping souls
Wake up! So wake up! Lord Gauranga calls
When first to this world you came
you said ‘My Lord, I’ll always chant Your name’
Broken promise you suffer in illusion
Don’t know who you are delirious confusion
Other than Me, who is your friend,
who can bring your suffering to an end?
I’ve descended out of love for you,
to help you live your life anew
The sun has arisen, climbing higher in the sky
Now my friends it’s time to open up your eyes
to see the Lord of your heart of Whom you are a part
whose been waiting long for you to turn and see Him too
I’m the doctor, I’ve brought you the cure
the medicine of love of God so pure
sweeter than a sugar cane
drink the nectar of the Holy Name
Wake up! So wake up! All you sleeping souls
Wake up! So wake up! Lord Gauranga calls

Rainbow
04:45

Brothers and sisters of all nations now the time has come
We’ve got to change the world into a better one
Many drops of water wear a mighty stone away
so let us all unite and enjoy a better way
Brothers and sisters of all races what’s in the color of skin?
Is it not more important how much love we have within,
and how we share that love with each and everyone,
disregards of income and social position?
See the rainbow in the sky
let’s say a prayer, free the dove of peace to fly
So many colors born from one sun,
similarly we’re all God’s children
Brothers and sisters of all religions know that God is one
though He has many different names in different traditions
So let’s not be confused by the greedy politicians
who send the faithful to war in the name of religion
Brothers and sisters of all species all creatures great and small
We are all equal in the eyes of the Lord
But those who share love they are beloved
They receive the blessings of our Father above
See the rainbow in the sky
let’s say a prayer, free the dove of peace to fly
So many colors born from one sun
similarly we’re all God’s children
Hallelujah!
Hare Krishna!
Allah Akbar!
God is one
