Maha Moha

Translation : the great delusion

In order to experience the beauty and the essence of light and pure love it is important to know the experience of hardship and pain. The delusion is that light is absent of dark. not so, light and dark are both part of the same Atman (Source). This album signifiies the journey from darkness to light and then back and forth again. It’s a calling out to soul and it’s a losing of faith. In the end this album realizes that through losing connection to spirit one actually draws closer to god through these intense experiences. Maha Moha is prayer. It’s saying: I once was FOUND but now am lost, but I know how to get back to my true essence. I love myself for being fooled by the great delusion, because this is what makes me human. And the human experience is as vast and important than the experience of feeling one with GOD.

Asato Ma Sad Gamaya

Tamaso ma Jyotir Gamaya

Mrityor ma amritam gamaya

Om shanti shanti shanti

Where did you go?

Why did you leave?

Na mantram no yantram tadapi cha na janay stuti maho

Na chaahwanam dhyaanam tadapi cha na jaanay stuti katha(ha)

Na jaanay mudraastay tadapi cha na jaanay wilapanam

Param jaanay maatastwa danusharanam klesha haranam

Translation:

Asato chant:

Lead me from the unreal to the real

Lead from the darkness to the light

Lead me from death to immortality

Let there be peace peace and peacefulness

Devyaaparaadha Stotra

I don’t know how to recite Your mantra, how to worship You with yantra,

Nor do I know how to welcome you or meditate upon you.

I don’t know how to pray to you or how to do Your mudra.

Nor do I know how to open my heart to you and tell you of my suffering.

But this I know, Oh MA!

That to take refuge in you will destroy all my sorrow.

From the Devyaaparaadha Stotram of Shankaracharya

Asato Ma Sad Gamaya

Tamaso ma Jyotir Gamaya

Mrityor ma amritam gamaya

Om shantish shantish shantihi

Lead me from the unreal to the real

Lead from the darkness to the light

Lead me from death to immortality

Let there be peace peace and peacefulness

I am no master

No guru resides here

I’m just a boy who’s looking for home

Yes I can control

Take charge of the situation

But I don’t want to

No thank you goodbye

I’ve got better things to do INSIDE

Rip my heart out

It’s hanumana on a rampage

How do I do this?

Where is my shoulder to cry on?

Where is my numbness? Oh yeah it’s in my body

I’ve got better things to do INSIDE

Hare sorrow

Hare pain

Hare depression

Into an internal aim

Hare lost

Hare disconnected

Hare fearful

Into a joy protected

grand mantra

(© 2008 w.morissette)

Om purnam adah purnam idam

OM TRYAMBAKKAM YAJAMAHE

SUGANDHIM PUSTIVARDHANAM

URVAROOKAMEVA BANDANAAN

MRITYORMOKSHEEYA MAAMRITAAT

Translation:

Om purnam adah purnam idam

That is full this is full

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra

Translation:

OM. We worship and adore you, O three-eyed one, O Shiva. You are sweet gladness, the fragrance of life, who nourishes us, restores our health, and causes us to thrive. As, in due time, the stem of the cucumber weakens, and the gourd if freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality.
There was a time, it is said, when there was no death. But the world became congested, and its resources approached the point of exhaustion. So Yama was given the role of bringing death to beings to restore nature’s balance and relieve the suffering of the planet.

Death needed servants to accomplish its task. Disease, famine, accidents, and old age played this role and acted as death’s messengers. But, not understanding its place in the order of the universe, all beings feared death. They witnessed premature death and worried lest they be taken before their appropriate time. When that time did come, fear of death led to even greater suffering.

To overcome this fear, it is said that Lord Shiva himself gave humanity the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra. Whenever there is listlessness, stress, grief, or illness, or when fears of death intrude in awareness, this great mantra can be used for healings, for maintaining vitality, and for refuge.

The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra restores health and happiness and brings calmness in the face of death. When courage or determination are blocked, it rises up to overcome obstacles. It awakens a healing force that reaches deep into the body and mind.
