Pune had a rocking Guru Poornima satsang a day earlier on July 17th at Ganesh Kala Krida Rangamanch with Amol Shende and group.
The evening started with
Guru Pooja after which Amol and his troupe started satsang.
I've heard Amol before (his album
Trikaal is well known in Art Of Living circles), but this was the first time hearing him live. Boy was he amazing or what ? Last night he had the audience clapping, dancing, meditating all at once.
He sang totally rocking satsang numbers - Narayana Hari Om,
Ishwar Guru (from his latest album -
Vasudevaya), Shiva Om Shiva Namah Shivaya ...several others I cant readily recall since I was mostly meditating through it all . My favorite was "Gurudeva Guru Om....Namah Shivaya". It was amazing how he took a bhajan usually sung slowly and rendered it with such gusto that the audience was on its feet ......!!!!
What was amazing for me was that the silence and celebration were happening simultaneously. Satsang for me has always been deeper than any meditation be it leading , singing along or just closing my eyes .
"Singing helps to bring serenity. Singing is simply merging into the sound, floating on its waves with a sense of contentment and meditativeness"Sri Sri RavishankarI for sure was floating in an ocean of contentment yesterday. The pain of not being with
Gurudev in Santa Clara for Guru Poornima was gone. He is with me always, yesterday I was with him too ....
Jai Guru Dev,
UPDATE : Courtesy Flame (comments below) we have a video of Amol singing Ishwar Guru at the Mumbai Guru Poornima Satsang .
