hare krishna – Siddhartha Corsus Music

Don’t worry about saving these songs!
And if one of our instruments breaks,
it doesn’t matter.

We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.

The strumming and the flute notes
rise into the atmosphere,
and even if the whole world’s harp
should burn up, there will still be
hidden instruments playing.

So the candle flickers and goes out.
We have a piece of flint, and a spark.

This singing art is sea foam.
The graceful movements come from a pearl
somewhere on the ocean floor.

Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge
of driftwood along the beach, wanting!

They derive
from a slow and powerful root
that we can’t see.

Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
and let the spirit fly in and out.

~Rumi

Rasa Lila was actually inspired by the beautiful album artwork by my dear friend, Sky. The rasa lila is the dance of ecstatic love between Krishna and his gopis. Just as Krishna knows the inner heart of each of his devotees, so too life is dancing with each one of us, and giving us not just the experiences we will enjoy and appreciate, but the experiences which we need to grow in wisdom and in deeper communion with the source of life itself.

Each of these songs was actually inspired by a different dear friend in my life, and somehow I feel they are very present in this album as well.

It is also an album of love for the culture and people of India. May the spiritual wealth of India continue to expand, deepen, and enrich the lives of people all over the world.

Thank you and may you be blessed.
