‘Nãrãyanã Vidmahe' is also known as ‘nãrãyanã gãyatri’ or ‘gãyatri mantrã’ of Vishnu. Nãrãyanã is the supreme being, from whom everything exists.
It is a veneration to lord vishnu, the one who supports, preserves and sustains all which was created.
It is believed that whenever evil prevails over good with an opportunity to emerge victorious, Vishnu descends to earth in some mortal form and guides humans to act in ways that will restore proper balance between good and evil. Vishnu is worshipped widely throughout India, having one thousand names. Devotees who engage in his name recitation and repetition are believed to accumulate great blessings.
Written around 788-820 CE by Adi Shankarãchãrya, the ancient shlokã or song shivoham summarizes the basic teachings of ‘Advaita Vedãntã’ – the Hindu teachings of non-dualism. a story says that when the young Shankarã,
seeking his guru in himãlayãs, encountered a sage who asked him, “who are you?”, the boy answered with these verses which are known as ‘Nirvãna Shatakam.’ They are actually a declaration of his own direct and intimate experience of the absolute bliss of self-realisation.
As such, this is not a text to be explained; they are actually sacred words to be meditated upon and experienced by every sincere seeker.
What is ADVAITA VEDANTA?
Advaita Vedanta is non-dualism or monism, the doctrine that declares that there is but one reality, that the individual Self and the brahman are one.
Every human being is unhappy. he is discontented.
We all feel that something is missing. We want more.
No matter how much we possess, it is never enough.
We are afraid to die. we want to live longer, be healthier, look younger and accumulate more wealth.
We want to increase our knowledge and awareness.
We want to experience more joy and happiness.
All these lead to unbearable restlessness. why?
The answer lies in the three statements comprising the wonderful formulae given to us by Sri Shankaracharya, the exponent (explainer and clarifier) of Advaita Vedanta.
" brahma satyam
jagan mithya
jivo brahmaiva na parah"
It means...
God alone is real.
The world is illusory.
The individual is none other than god.
Guru Brahmã
gurur brahmã gurur vishnu
gurur devo maheshwaraha |
gurur sãkshãt para brahmã
tasmai shree gurave nahama | |
The guru is brahmã (the creator),
the guru is vishnu (the sustainer),
the divine guru is maheswara (shiva – the destroyer), the guru is verily the parabrahman (supreme consciousness); salutations to the guru.
dhyaana-muulam gurur-muurtih
puujaa-muulam gurur-paadam |
mantra-muulam gurur-vaakyam
moksha-muulam guruur-kripaa ||
The Root of Meditation is the Form of the Guru, The Root of Worship is the Feet of the Guru,
The Root of Mantra is the Word of the Guru,
The Root of Liberation is the Grace of the Guru.
brahmanandam parama sukhadam
kevalam gyaanamurtim
dvandvaateetam gagana sadrisham
tatvamasyadi lakshyam
ekam nityam vimala machalam
sarvadhee saakshibhutam
bhaavaateetam triguna rahitam
sadgurum tam namaami.
The universe of bliss, supreme happiness,
pure unending knowing
Beyond the dualities, like the infinite space,
the sole aspiration of all seeking The one,
eternal, pure, unmoving,
the witness in all Beyond states,
beyond the three qualities,
salutations to that true Guru.
It is said that a Guru or a Master has the highest place in the heart of a disciple. For me, it is simply impossible to describe the significance of a Guru in my own journey.
That is why probably so many songs have been created to express eternal gratitude to the Guru, the dispeller of darkness. I believe each of us has a Guru guiding our paths in many mysterious ways that sometimes we can’t even see. Personally, two spiritual masters have influenced my path endlessly… Osho and Gurudev
(now lovingly addressed as Whosoever).
This Mantrã is one more attempt of expressing gratitude to existence for having showered its grace in the form of a Guru.
"The master functions as a friend. He holds your hand and takes you on the right path, helps you to open your eyes, helps you to be capable of transcending the mind. That's when your third eye opens, when you start looking inwards. Once you are looking inwards, the master's work is finished. now it is up to you." - OSHO
jaya shiva omkãrã
jaya jaya shiva omkãrã
har har omkãrã
shivãya namaha om namaha shivãya
Victory to Shiva, om har har om,
I bow to Shiva, om.
A Mantrã for the devotion of Shiva, representing the transformational force in the universe. although the concept of ‘destruction’ tends to be negatively associated to Shiva,
I would like to praise him rather as a ‘transforming’ energy… as day transforms to night, as winter follows spring, as a fruit dies to give place to a new tree, as real love moves from bliss to pain and from pain to bliss again and again… probably a true prayer of acceptance.
jai rãdhã mãdhav

krishna is the divine lover of radha, he plays in the groves of vrindavana. he is the divine lover of the gopis (cowherd maidens of vraja) and the holder of the great hill named govardhana.
although unborn, he plays the role of the beloved son of mother yasoda. he is the delighter of the inhabitants of vraja and he wanders in the forests along the banks of the river yamuna.
sohum
sohum, sohum, sohum, sohum
while the english translation may not be as important as the quality of the sound vibration, sohum translates as i am that. when remembered repeatedly, it declares i am that i am that i am that i am.
remembering the sohum mantra often during the day can be a very useful practice.
sohum meditation :
for 30 minutes everyday, with a candle and an incense, sit comfortably in a meditation posture. gently take deep breaths - inhale and exhale.
on every inhalation, feel that you are breathing in the universal consciousness. with every exhalation, feel that you are breathing out the personalised consciousness, the ego.

'Jai Radha Madhav' is a devotional prayer in the praise of Lord Krishna, a Hindu deity who is often portrayed as a young boy playing a flute or as a handsome prince giving direction and guidance.
I am personally fond of the figure of Krishna because
he accepts all dimensions, colors and aspects of life and yet remains untouched by them. My experience is that chanting these holy names of god brings a space of peace and protection… this song is also a tribute to Jagjit Singh,
a beautiful singer from India, who has always been
an immense inspiration in my life.
The love of Krishna and Radha is possibly the most revered love affair in India. no music, no songs, no dance, no art is complete in India, without their love story.
Nisargadatta Maharaj, an amazingly bright enlightened being describes it as follows: ‘discard all you are not and go ever deeper. Just as a man digging a well discards what is not water, until he reaches the water-bearing
strata, so must you discard what is not your own, till nothing is left which you can disown. You will find that what is left is nothing which the mind can hook on to. You are not even a human being. you just are - a point of awareness, co-extensive with time and space and beyond both, the ultimate cause, itself uncaused.
If you ask me "who are you?", my answer would be: "nothing in particular. yet, I am.’
'In Search' was born from love. since love is a mystery, there is no way to express… the closest I was able to express the bliss of love was in silence… and through this song, which lyrics and its exquisite spirit of longing speak by themselves.
Sufism
The substance of Sufism is the truth and the meaning of Sufism is the selfless experiencing and actualization of the truth. The practice of Sufism is the intention to go towards the truth, by means of love and devotion. This is called the tarigat, the spiritual path or way towards god.
The Sufi is one who is a lover of truth, who by means of love and devotion moves towards the truth, towards the perfection which all are truly seeking. As necessitated by love's jealousy, the Sufi is taken away from all except the truth.
Sufi poetries communicate through symbolic expressions the depth of Sufi spirituality, the inner states of mystical love, and the unity of being. they reveal aspects of Sufism and of traveling the Sufi path that are not accessible in prose writings.
ishq
ishq ibaadat rab' ki yaara
ishq masihaa ishq khudaa hai
ishq ki zad mein hai jaga saaraa
ishq mehekte dil ki sadaa hei
love is the prayer of the divine,
love is the messiah, love is God
love envelops the whole universe within itself
it is the song of a fragrant heart
ishq to hei saanso ki sargam
ishq dilo kaa darpan hei
ishq khudaa kaa noor hei jis-se
saari duniya roshan hei
love is the melody of breath
love is the mirror of the hearts
because of the light of love
the whole world is illuminated
'Ishq' in arabic means love, something everyone seeks in different forms. The song depicts the various moods of 'Ishq', from human to divine aspects of love, celebrating its most exalted moments, when love and prayer become one, when love and god become one.
The 'tarana' syllables used in the song are very much a signature in Manish's music.
tumi bhaja re manaa
tumi bhaja re manaa
tumi japa re manaa
om shree ram jaya ram
japa re manaa
o my heart, my soul,
chant the name of the divine,
worship the name of the divine.
'Tumi Bhaja re Mana' is a song
of devotion, bhakti. Such
simple songs are usually
sung in every corner of India
usually during the evenings
at the temples, or under a
tree in a village where people
usually gather at the time of dusk. With the simplicity in words and feeling, one can easily melt in devotion and love for all.
sattva
omkãram bindu samyuktam

kãmadam mokshadam chaiva
omkãrãya namo namaha
om, which is united with the Source
on which the yogis ever dwell
which grants desires and liberation
i salute the omkaram.
The title track takes one on a
journey from the mysterious
east into a space beyond worlds.
unfolding on the base of the
mantra 'Omkaraya Namo
Namaha', this piece depicts
illumination and purity...
the hidden splendor within us all. The song 'Sattva' is decorated with ambient voices echoing this mantra, featuring tarana syllables 'num tana num, derena'.
shivoham
sachãra chara para purnã
shivoham shivoham
nityãnanda swarupã
shivoham shivoham
ãnandoham ãnandoham
ãnandoham ãnandoham
i am that which prevails everywhere...
complete in itself.
i am shiva; the deity of eternal bliss.
i am Joy itself…i am bliss itself.
Possibly the most well known
song from Manish, 'Shivoham'
based on Raga Darbari celebrates
the joy of realising the eternal
truth - 'i am bliss'.
'Shivoham' is not necessarily about Lord Shiva, but about
a state of being, which the Hindus have described as Shiva, the bliss. a state of ultimate joy, realising that everything which is, is complete and it is nothing but me, not as a personified entity but as an impersonal, as universal consciousness - a state of Ananda... bliss... Shivoham.
om namo narayana
om namo narayana
jaya govinda, hare govinda
narayana narayana
jaya gopala, hare gopala
narayana narayana
i bow down to narayana (lord Krishna)
offering him salutations and surrender.
'Govinda', 'Gopala' are all different
names of Lord Krishna, the god
with the flute... who is Vishnu's
reincarnation. This song pays
loving homage to Lord Krishna,
offering him salutations and
surrender. Based on Raga Charukeshi, this song is a beautifull exchange between the male and the female energy, which unite perfectly in the energy of Krishna, who is known as the complete and the best of human being' - 'purna purushottam'.

om peace, peace, peace.
'Sarve Sham' is a prayer for all, wishing well being, peace, nourishment to all beings on this universe. The beauty about this prayer is that it is not personal, not selfish, but for all that exists.
the "Sarveshaam mantra" is one of the peace or Shanti Mantras which may be used to invoke harmony and tranquility in the environment in which puja or prayers are performed. This Shanti Mantra may be repeated three or eleven times, as time permits. The Mantra may perhaps be used as a closing prayer for any practise, to bless all those in attendance.

The piece is an invocation to existence, bringing a soothing balancing atmosphere, a positive vibration to start the day in balance.
Solitude
'Solitude' is a piece full of romance, born out of the healing energy of love. Malkauns, a very expressive midnight raga, brings the listener into a tranquil, meditative space, with touches of a melancholic mysterious longing and a state of deep gratitude.
1. Secret of love
ek labze muhabbat, adanã ye fasãnã
simate toh dil-e-aashiq, failey toh zamãnã
One word – love; if it shrinks,
it can fit in a lover’s heart
if it expands it is the whole universe

ek aag kã dariyã hai aur doob ke jãnã
This love is not easy, do understand this well
it is an ocean of fire, and only way to cross it,
is to drown in it
aansu toh bahut se hain aankho me jigar lekin
bindh jãye toh motee hain rah jãye toh dãnã

Sadaa-E-Ishq means the call of love. This song has no lyrics in particular. rather it uses the traditional syllables of Indian classical music called ‘tarãnã’ which are simply random sounds, which resounds like a mantra, invented by one of the first sufi mystic musician called Amir Khusrau.

Tonight, don’t insist on leaving
