Shades of Saffron (new)
1. Vedo solo Te
Oggi non sento
Quello che vedo
Oggi mi perdo
Dentro di Te
Dentro l'Tua viso
In quell sorriso
Che come il sole
Scalde anche me
Nel illusione
Di esser migliore
E di capire
Quello che cè
Sento da vero
Di esser sincero
Quando ti dico
Io credo in Te
Vedo solo Te
E ricordo
I mani dentro me
Sento solo Te
E mie riempie
la piano del mia mente
You came to show us a new path
Came to show the way
You lived your life by example
There was nothing they could say
Floating through colours
Caught by the currents
So many places
Lost in a dream
Walking long beaches
With so many questions
You were inside me
Since ages it seems
Breaking my boundaries
Into galaxies
You showed me the beauty
Beyond the misery
So many petals
Of fragrant flowers
Adorn the garlands
In Your memory
You set me free
From the colours
That captured me
You made me believe
I can perceive
Your mystery....infinity...infinity
In an all round fight,
The golden rays of light
Are removing,
The darkness of night
Remove the misery,
Restore the dignity,
Build a universal
Global family

7. Sarasvati
Capo on 2nd fret
The day is lost in a haze
As the sun sets the Ganga ablaze.
While crickets in the distance sing incessantly,
Songs and mantra’s merge with the night,
And offerings carried by the tide,
Slowly disappear out of sight.
Chorus 1:
In the silence of the twilight
a traveler remains
moving through the countryside,
Following the light,
Beyond the mundane
Anxious, to be unified.
Carving her way through mountains and plains
Through ice, snow and heavy monsoon rains
Around me I can hear the sound of ankle bells
The wind is screaming and the water is high
As bubbles emerge and then blow away.
The unknown traveler moves on by
Chorus 2:
Where Ganga and Yamuna
Cross their paths.
Sarasvati
Interrupts her journey
continuing homebound
through Divine sound
Sarasvati
Yearns to be free.
Dogs chase each other on the sand,
As youths play cricket on any free land
Listening for the sound of Krsna’s flute,
Bhakta’s throw their arms towards the sky
Singing and dancing trying to unify
The unknown traveler passes on by
Chorus 1:
On the opposite bank two lovers embrace
As time retreats to an unknown space.
While the temple bells ring continuously
Saffron clad Yogi’s close their eye’s,
And meditate on deep peace inside
The unknown traveler slowly passes by
Chorus 2:
As the river slowly comes to her end
Surging forward rounding the last bend
The sound of the ocean is everywhere,
Naked ascetics sitting on the ground
lose themselves in the Cosmic sound.
The unknown traveller moves home bound
The river merges with the roaring ocean
The unknown traveller finds the destination
The waters cannot be apart anymore,
Coming home from a long journey
Infinite silence, joy and ecstasy
Sarasvati finally becomes free.

Twilight has come C
with the enchanting scent G
Of the lovely linden blossom, G-F-C

the last rays of colour C
evenly across the horizon G-F-C
Wafts of jasmine, C

With each crashing wave G
That breaks on the gleaming white sand G-F-C
but my boat has sailed forth C
And now drifts alone C
Far from the mainland G-F-C
Through ocean storms C
Blown by the wind G
Longing for the pole star G-F-C
I’m a drop in the ocean C
All just to learn C
How to surrender G-F-C
Are You the God of the different people, Am-Em
Playing Your Cosmic game. F-G-C
Are You the God of the ordinary people, Am-Em
who understands why we came F-G-Am
Tired of playing, C
On the outside, G

Playing Your Cosmic game. F-G-C

who understands me for what I am F-G-Am

Dancing in the Moonlight
Tum ho mere krs'n'a'
Tum ho mere krs'n'a' jagata pati
Main tumhe cahata hoon diva'ra'tii
Tum alakh niranjana poorna jyotii
Main jugnu kii jyot ks'hudra ati
Tum ho sris'ti mein a'di anant
Kabhi kara'l bhaya'l, kabhi daya'l prasha'nt
Ek hansii se tumha'ri vishva bechain
Khushi se tumha'ri jhoome jaladhi
Tumha're sa'th meri tulana' nahin
Tumha'ri upma' tum hi sahi
Main shroton ka' phool bah raha' tha'
Tune mujhe utha'kar sunaii gitii
O Lord of the world, you are my Krs’n’a; I love you day and night. You are unseen, without blemish full effulgence, I am just a meager minute twinkle of a firefly. You are endless and beginningless in this creation, sometimes terribly frightening and sometimes gravely kind. With one smile of yours, the world is restless, with your joy the ocean swings. I cannot be compared with you, you are yourself perfect example. I was floating in a stream like a flower; you lifted me up and sang song to me.
This life is for Him
This life is for Him
This mind is for Him
This soul is for Him
His universe we will serve in coordinated team
Life is for Him, life is for Him, life is for Him
Light belongs to Him
Night belongs to Him
Might belongs to Him
Undaunted in smiling face
His Grace we will sing
Life is for Him, life is for Him, life is for Him
Ke se ajá́ná pathik
Ke se ajá́ná pathik,
Man má tiye ráungiye gelo,
Ke se chilo kśan ́ik,
Anante dulie dilo,
Man má tiye ráungiye gelo,
Suśmitá sumadhur hás,
Náshe jata trás ripu pá́sh,
Niráshe bhare ullás,
Kon se devatá ese chilo,
Man má tiye ráungiye gelo,
Ajio tá́re khuinje jái,
Siimáy asiime náhi pái,
Bandhane krandane nái,
Kotháy se keno lukálo ,
Man má tiye ráungiye gelo
Which unknown traveler has coloured and intoxicated my mind?
Who was He who momentarily shook the infinite? That sweet pleasing smile of His destroyed all troubles, the six internal enemies (ripu) and the eight bondages (pa'sha). Which divinity has come to fill encouragement into hopelessness? Even today, I go on searching Him. Yet, I do not find the infinite within limitations. He is not found in bondages nor in cries. Where and why does He kept himself hidden?
