Krishna touched all with an intoxicating Divine love.

This chant is in praise of the Diving Mother, and describes some of Her qualities: Mother is Goddess, perfect in form. She cares for every child in this world as if it were Her own. Like Mother Nature, she is awesome in Her strength and not afraid to use it. She is the kindest of all and She gives love in its purest form. This song is inpired by Ammachi (Mata Amritanandamayi Devi) from Kerala India (http://www.ammachi.org/)
Track Six
Sita Ram (Diana Rogers)
Sita Ram
Sing to Goddess Sita and Lord Ram, the upholder of auspiciousness and source of all virtues.
This is a chant affirming divine love in this world - a love that permeates everything. It feels good to celebrate this in times like these. Also, it's joyful tune. It reminds me of being with the Ma's at a mountain ashram in India late at night when they all gather together, pass around the harmonium, cymbals and drum, and sing and dance. Jai Sita Ram!
