SONG OF A SEEKER
Narayana

1. Hide-and-seek

I denied you Naaraayana
But Swami Sivananda Sadaasiva
Opened my eyes Naaraayana
With his books Sadaasiva
He points you out Naaraayana
As Satchidaananda Sadaasiva
Of all creatures Naaraayana
The Indwelling Witness Sadaasiva
2. Trikarana Shuddhi
This doubting intellect Naaraayana
Is like a rat: Sadaasiva
It eats away Naaraayana
Peace of mind Sadaasiva
It can't be killed Naaraayana
But can be tamed Sadaasiva
By Shri Ganesha Naaraayana
Lord of Integrity Sadaasiva
Head, trunk, mouth Naaraayana
Are together Sadaasiva
It means: make one Naaraayana
Thought, speech, action Sadaasiva
To use its mouth Naaraayana
An elephant has Sadaasiva
To lift its trunk Naaraayana
More deeds than words Sadaasiva
Then enters life Naaraayana
Mother Sarasvati Sadaasiva
Beauty, wisdom Naaraayana
That transcend learning Sadaasiva
In her left hand Naaraayana
She holds a book Sadaasiva
Even She Naaraayana
Does some study Sadaasiva

3. New Birth

But in her right Naaraayana
She holds the lute Sadaasiva
Teaching thus Naaraayana
Devotion excels Sadaasiva
Guru is iron Naaraayana
Seeker is a magnet Sadaasiva
If strong enough Naaraayana
It attracts the iron Sadaasiva

4. Spiritual Father

A God-man came Naaraayana
Taught me your Name Sadaasiva
Sweetened my life Naaraayana
With peace and joy Sadaasiva
He revealed to me Naaraayana
You are in your Heaven Sadaasiva
And your Heaven Naaraayana
Is in my heart Sadaasiva
With a smile he said Naaraayana
Peep within Sadaasiva
The Source of Joy Naaraayana
Is only there Sadaasiva
Turn on, tune in Naaraayana
Introspect, meditate Sadaasiva
Take it easy Naaraayana
But don't be lazy Sadaasiva
God is Peace Naaraayana
Don't do anything Sadaasiva
That steals away Naaraayana
Your inner Peace Sadaasiva
Clean the mind Naaraayana
With God's Names Sadaasiva
Serve, Love, Give Naaraayana
The best soap Sadaasiva
Satchidananda Naaraayana
Jagadguru Sadaasiva
Beloved of youngsters Naaraayana
Purnayogi Sadaasiva
Protect him! Bless him! Naaraayana
Protect him! Bless him! Sadaasiva
I beg you Lord Naaraayana
With all my heart Sadaasiva
Enshrined he is Naaraayana
In my heart-temple Sadaasiva
And in pure love Naaraayana
I touch his feet Sadaasiva
Sweet is his speech Naaraayana
With words of wisdom Sadaasiva
Sweet is his mind Naaraayana
With divine thoughts Sadaasiva
Sweet are his hands Naaraayana
With Karma Yoga Sadaasiva
Sweet are his feet Naaraayana
Walking in truth Sadaasiva
Sweet is his vision Naaraayana
Beholding you Sadaasiva
In man and beast Naaraayana
Everywhere Sadaasiva
Sweet is his life Naaraayana
With realisation Sadaasiva
Steeped in the sweetness Naaraayana
Of your love Sadaasiva
He showed us Naaraayana
There are still three forests Sadaasiva
With stillness, purity Naaraayana
Peace, serenity Sadaasiva

5. The three forests of modern times

Early morning Naaraayana
The first forest Sadaasiva
The world sleeps Naaraayana
Yogis are awake Sadaasiva
Meditation room Naaraayana
The second forest Sadaasiva
Full of vibrations Naaraayana
Of saattvic thoughts Sadaasiva
Deep within Naaraayana
The third forest Sadaasiva
No one can Naaraayana
Take it away Saadasiva
May all be happy Naaraayana
May all be peaceful Sadaasiva
May all be full Naaraayana
May all be prosperous Sadaasiva

6. Meditation

I am that I am Sadaasiva
