New Age Vibe

I have listened to countless new age music albums, ranging from the old pure devotional songs, which has nothing ‘new’ to it, yet calling ‘new age’, to the most modern remixes which has nothing of the ‘new age spirit’. Yet there has been no worse music than Girish’s Shiva Machine in the new age genre so far I have listened to.
But there are reviews in all praise for this junk-food album.
Pushing the limits of the chant music genre in the most brilliant way Girish is a dynamic and exciting artist. –Aura Magazine

“Beloved” Osho is my guru for meditation. I love his speech, his guts and individuality. Earlier many months ago, I posted on the famous (notorious) talk on the usefulness of f**k and many should have had a bell laughter. Osho called himself ’spiritually incorrect mystic’ though he is the most correct of all masters we see today. Here is a video discourse of Vignan Bhairava Tantra (112 meditation techniques of ancient India).

PS: Calling OSHO ‘SEX GURU ‘ is no offense. He himself never felt so. It’s used only as an anchor point for delivering good message, as the master himself …read more

Never heard of such albums in my life: music to keep the pet dog happy. I wonder how it works! Driven by curiosity, am purchasing this music album while posting this. I’m going to test it with my dog: Shiva, the enlightened dog, and review it here. While humans still struggle to understand the human mind, it’s complex thoughts, desires, anxieties etc., venturing to understand dog’s emotions seems fictional to me now. Anyway, no comments until the real test is made and the judge is my dog.

This is a track from The Heart of Reiki by Merlin’s Magic. I like this track and was giving a thought to purchase it. But now am divided: a glance at Amazon customer reviews makes me optionless. Wow, reviews in two extremes. I’m in a beautiful mess!

Here are some snippets form Amazon customer reviews:
Same notes over and over The same notes were played in the background over and over. It was annoying. It overshadowed what was probably some really good music. I just couldn’t focus on anything else but the notes in the background. I am returning it.
Awesome relaxing CD …read more

Jeffrey Fisher’s consultant emailed me the other day noting that Jeffrey is making an album based on Bhagavat Gita. Needless to say, Gita has been one of the many text that influences my life. I have earlier written about Meditation on Gita by Ram Das in Pleasure of Losing Oneself in Meditation on Gita and in Meditations on Gita – Part II. Ram Das’s Gita is a reading of select quotes from Gita on a divine BGM. I love it till date. Jeffrey’s Gita still not released adds up expectations in my heart. Cant wait to see what it …read more

I regularly read books of Osho and found this interesting passage on anger. I’m sharing this with you hoping it might help someone. After all who is not angry?
Anger is natural, because you have not created it; you are born with it, endowed by nature. And nature must have some use for it, otherwise it cannot be given to you. But the society is against it; it says suppress it. And when you suppress anger, many more things are suppressed by it, because everything is interrelated in your inner being. You cannot suppress one thing; you cannot express …read more

Just while I was watching a few videos on youtube, I came across this beautiful chanting of Shiva Mantra.  Beautiful voice and lovely music. This song is from Weaving My Ancestors’ Voices by Sheila Chandra. This is the first album of hers that I listen to.
