Meditation, Music and Social Vision

“God respects me when I work, but He loves me when I sing”

The mystic poet Rabindranath Tagore said this many years ago, and it is very true. Music plays an important part in all spiritual traditions. In yoga, the chanting of mantras is called “kiirtan” (commonly spelled “kirtan”). And it is the best way to prepare your mind for meditation.

So, if you have been having trouble doing silent meditation. Why don’t you sing before you meditate. Don ‘t worry if you have a good voice or a bad voice. It doesn’t matter. This is something from your heart. Try it with the mantra “Baba Nam Kevalam”

Here is a video, with beautiful images and the mantra. Why don’t you watch the video, sing along and then do meditation. Try it you will like it!

Action Makes a Person Great

“It is action that makes a person great. Be great by your sádhaná, by your service, by your sacrifice.” — Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

This is a quote from my spiritual teacher. He always emphasized action as opposed to theory and said that yoga is 90% action and 10% theory. So, there is no need to read tons of books on the subject. Rather, you should do your spiritual practices (sadhana), serve other human beings and make some sacrifices for the good of humanity. Lots of good advice in a single sentence. Enjoy your day!

Have Songs, Will Travel

Seven of the songs which I performed at last year’s Divine Moon Festival in England are now online as videos at youtube.com . You can see them by going to www.youtube.com and doing a search for Dada Veda or you can go to my page www.youtube.com/dadaved . On that page you will find three videos that I have directly uploaded and down below in the favorites section there are four more songs that were uploaded by the photographer directly.

The videos give an idea of what you can expect in one of my concerts. If you would like to book me for a performance in your locality, then send me an email and let’s see if we can work it out  My motto is: “Have Songs, Will Travel.”

Catch me in the UK

I am in London and will give two music concerts while I am here in the UK. The first one will be on Saturday night 10 March and the second one will be a house concert in Portland, UK. Details for both concerts can be found on my main website
