Mahavatar Vishnudeva Saraswati
is thought to be older than Mahakaya Babaji. His home is Siddha Loka,
sometimes known as Gyan Ganj and also as Shambala, situated some 6000 meters high
on the Bhagirathi Parbat - the true source of the Ganga. Only at times
of human need does he consent to descend to human habitation.
Here we invite you to submit your own bhajans, songs,
poems, lyrics that are of a spiritual nature. This being a new section, we

These
poems and lyrics
were penned by yours truly (Hariharan Shivadass) over the last several
decades.
Victory Over Mortality
(based on Maha Mrityunjaya
Mantra)
Aum.
Oh three-eyed Lord who can truly see
Into the very hear and soul of me,
Life-giving Lord, nourishing and sweet,
We worship at Thy lotus feet.
Grant to us the inner sight
That we may overcome the blight
Which damages and devolves the soul
Great Lord, let us now be whole,
And let Thy gift of Immortality
Fall like ripe fruit falls from the tree
Through knowledge of Self
and
devotion to Thee
Through knowledge of Self
and devotion to Thee.
Peace to you and Peace to me,
Peace indeed to all that be,
Peace for all eternity. Aum.
One
God is love,
God is you,
God is One expressed as Two.
One is loved,
The other loves,
One is Two and Two is One.
In the end we all become,
Oh yes, we all become…
One.
Look Beyond,
Look Within
When clouds cover the sun
Look beyond.
When troubles crowd your vision,
Look beyond.
When all you can see are hardened
hearts,
Look beyond.
Chorus:
Look beyond, look within,
Don’t be trapped by the world you’re in.
Look beyond, look within,
Don’t waste time with what could have been.
Look beyond, look within,
Then your sacred journey can finally begin.
When desire overcomes you,
Look beyond.
When pain and sorrow overcome
Look beyond.
When life seems dead and empty,
Look beyond.
Chorus:
Look beyond, look within,
Don’t be trapped by the world you’re in.
Look beyond, look within,
Don’t waste time with what could have been.
Look beyond, look within,
Then your sacred journey can finally begin.
Truth is One
The Truth is one, the wise men say,
And it can be no other way,
But the wisest of the wise men say
That Truth is called by many names,
And yet the Truth remains the same.
The Truth forever shall remain the same.
To Mother of the Universe
Before my birth you held me
In your Universal Womb.
And when this life is over
You will free me from this bodily tomb.
In you there's no beginning
nor is there any end,
Against your fierce protection
no one can defend.
You are the Universal Mother,
Jaya Jagadambe Durge, Durge
Devi Durga, Bhavani,
Jagat Janani,
Devi Durga Rudrani!
You Are Your
Own Deepest Desire
(Inspired by Bhrihandarakya Upanishad)
Poet, priest, sinner or saint
However unhappy you have no complaint,
What you are is up to you,
Determined by the things you do.
Chorus:
You are your own deepest desire,
That which fuels your inner fire,
No matter what things you may acquire,
You are your own deepest desire.
You may not be please with who you are
But the best solution to your problem by far
Is to realize it’s all up to you
Determined by the things you do.
Chorus:
You are your own deepest desire,
That which fuels your inner fire,
No matter what things you may acquire,
You are your own deepest desire.
You cannot be somebody else,
Seek not beauty, fame or wealth,
All these things will come to you
Determined by the things you do.
Chorus:
You are your own deepest desire,
That which fuels your inner fire,
No matter what things you may acquire,
You are your own deepest desire.
Lyrics
from two songs by Ganesh
Deivashikhamani, my dear
friend and godbrother whom I fondly call as Deviputra. Nandri,
Ganesha!
Self
Who am I?
Sometimes I don't know where I go.
What do I do?
I feel so lonely - but no despair
I see a hope,
A distant ray of light.
Then it dawns on me,
There is this paradise.
Oh I was always there,
not seeing the light,
not seeing the truth in me.
I felt so desparate.
Oh, I want to be there
I want to be with you...
Oh my Self!
The kingdom was never lost to begin with.
I am the one, I feel myself again.
Oh, this freedom!
Oh, this joy!
Oh this bliss!
Om Shanti Om Shanti!
Oh, the paradise is right here,
let us open ourselves to this truth.
Let us unlearn to learn truth,
For simple is the truth.
Om Shanti Om Shanti!
In The Name
of Love
In the name of love we come to you
Won't you see us?
Won't you help us?
Won't you lead us?
How long and how many times,
We don't know yet this desire to
see you, be with you never ceases.
Won't you come now?
Oh, my Lord!
Oh, Shivane Bhava Harane!
Sick of Death,
Sick of Birth,
Sick of Fear.
We seek you and only you
In the name of love.
