I try not to talk much about politics on the New World Kirtan Podcast. But most of you know we live in Oregon, and this week I’d like to address the protests happening in Portland. We’re about an hour and a half south of Portland & have friends & family members living there, so what’s going on in the city is very close to our hearts. I’ll let you know what we’ve heard from our friends who live in Portland at the top of this week’s podcast.
‘Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya’ is a Hindu mantra for spiritual growth. The meaning of this mantra is “Om is the name of the Indweller in me that is ever in unity with all of creation. Kindly reveal your truth to me.”

The ‘Indweller’ is Vasudeva: the soul, which exists as a flame in the subtle heart center. To invoke Vasudeva is to call on one’s own power of consciousness to further spiritual growth. The chants in this week’s set will focus on this mantra, and here are the artists who will be performing for you:

We’re all in the same storm, we’re just in different boats, my friends. But no matter what boat you’re in, and how stormy the seas get we’re in this together and love will win. Stay healthy out there, and until next time —  Namaste.
