Pleasure of Losing Oneself in Meditation on Gita
For the past one week, one of the albums that I listened (I should say meditated upon) is Ram Dass’s Meditation on Gita. Dr. Richard Alpert a.k.a., Ram Dass reads select quotes from Bhagavad Gita with a beautiful veena and flute on the background. The meditative (call it hypnotic!) voice of Ram Dass mingles with the music and doesn’t create any feeling of listening to an audio discource. He gives much silence between words where the music fills and takes the listener deep into tranquil state of meditation.
I listened to this album with my eyes closed and the experience of listening to it simply doesn’t find a word in my vocabulary. I just disappear and don’t have the slighest desire to open my eyes and do something else. The experience is so blissful. I recommend this album for all my Midos who seek silence amidst constant battle inside their mind, for those who desire that the life can be a little lighter and peaceful, and for those who are into discovering the hidden meanings of Bhagavat Gita.
Thanks Ram Dass for such a wonderful album…. I am out of words….
