  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This signature mood album is a restful alternative to our fast paced age. Soulful songs weave Sanskrit chants into catchy English refrains. This cinematic collision of sound was created in collaboration with seasoned musicians and uses a colorful palette of world instruments. Album draws inspiration in styles such as space-rock, electronic, world-beat and hip-hop.

    Featuring eight impressive tracks “Wild Horses” has an insistent pulse. Soothing electronic beats and mantras from the Upanishads begin the album with the “ Morning Rising.” As the album unfolds we journey into “Wild Horses” – a track that takes you on an adventure ride. “ Dooms Day Parade” confronts the establishment with challenging English lyrics. As the “day continues” – we rest in a soothing lake of Hari Muraru, with celestial flutes and evocative dilruba.

    Leaving you with a yearning to listen again and again, this album takes you on a transformational journey from outside – in. This is a personal album, reflecting on the life as a ever-expanding miracle and recognizing patterns and forces at work above and beneath our normal focus.

om purnam adah purnam idam, purnat purnam udacyate purnasya purnam adaya,purnam evavasishyate (Isha Upanisad: Invocation Prayer) The Supreme Being is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the Complete Balance. Whatever is produced of Complete is perfect in itself.

Wild Horses 05:53
Wild horses, they took me away from you, Wild horses, now stop for a minute, Wild horses, please bring me back home to you, Wild horses, this time I really mean it.

Narayan 06:48
This track features verse from the Bhagavad Gita: isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati bhramayan sarva-bhutani yantrarudhani mayaya The Divine Intelligence is situated in everyone's heart, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy. The track refrain is in Russian and means: "Narayan is in my heart"

It's a Dooms Day Parade in the Underworld city! The wheel of time is clashing like a train, the age of Kali is here to take it's reign, watch Mother Nature going down the drain and the skies will cry with the acid rain. Looking for truth? There hardly be any... But even a popper will worship his penny, Their past unknown, their future pending, their lives go by merely pretending. But how far can you stretch your vitality Denying the soul's immortality? It's a Dooms Day Parade in the Underworld city! It's a Dooms Day Parade in the Underworld city! The wheel of time is smashing like a chain, the oily barrel sets poison down the drain, they'll take the truth and ban it as profane and the world will be run by thoroughly insane! Filling our hearts with perverted desires, making us pawn our ticket to Zion, but now descending from Vaikuntha, coming down unchanged, the touchstone of Truth is breaking down the chain ! Descending from Vaikuntha, coming down unchanged, the touchstone of Truth is breaking down the chain ! It's a Dooms Day Parade in the Underworld city! It's a Dooms Day Parade in the Underworld city! Mad Scientist Saying: " The Universe came out of a big explosion!" Shall I run, shall I stay, shall I join? Dooms Day Parade....

Hari Murari 04:00
Hey Krishna, Govinda, Hari Murari, Hey Krishna.....

Soul Coffer 05:27
I 've been keeping myself away within the soul coffer, I sold myself, my soul for a supposed gold offer within the body "I" shine ! And now you asking me if I want to take your offer? And now you asking me if I am tired to suffer? And now you asking me if I want to take an offer? from the soul proper.... The ice cold nature of the flesh in the land of death Takes away life that the Lord gave me through breath The soul brightly shines, and I could be revealing Instead of concealing, lamenting and deceiving Regret of past wrongdoings, could I ever forget Eventually this dream, will fade away this project Dark times, tribulations, and twisted realizations Atomic radiation, t.v., and zombie creations And now you asking me if I want to take your offer? And now you asking me if I am tired to suffer? And now you asking me if I want to take an offer? from the Soul Coffer, from the Soul Coffer, so proper..... I'm the copper top, that's giving life to this robot Everlasting regardless, of what I have or not I've been changing my clothing, lifetime after time And overloading thoughts, can pollute one's mind Within the body I shine, I can reveal it in time, watch me cleanse my heart +mind The Mantra tames one's mentality, cleanse one's anatomy I belong to spiritual harmony, redirect my reality To be the real Me, caught in this savage body Ignoring my position, as a servant to Infinity It's a tragedy, and simultaneously a comedy A perverse reality, adjust your vision to what oughtta be The soul coffer, is coughing up garbage with proper Tales to captivate your essential eternity for a whopper Of a lie, a fairy tale that is eventually doomed to die Happily ever after, is beyond this realm in the spiritual sky To redirect my energy is a must for me to try And now you asking me if I want to take your offer? And now you asking me if I am tired to suffer? And now you asking me if I want to take an offer? from the Soul Coffer, from the Soul Coffer, within the body I shine!

Lead me Govinda towards the Holy, down with the River towards the Holy. cintamani-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vrksa- laksavrtesu surabhir abhipalayantam laksmi-sahasra-sata-sambhrama-sevyamanam govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is tending the cows, yielding all desire, in abodes built with spiritual gems, surrounded by millions of purpose trees, always served with great reverence and affection by hundreds of thousands of laksmis or gopis. Lead me Govinda towards the Holy, down with the River towards the Holy.
