Kali Songs

[Guest guest]

In Re: Songs about Kali.

 

Feminist songwriter Meg Christian became a devotee of

Gurumayi of the SYDA Yoga organization. She's written

a number of very pretty English language songs about

Hinduism. One, titled "Jai Guru," obviously uses

images taken from Kali's dhyana. I sing it, slightly

changing the lyric (Changes marked with an asterisk).

As I remember it, it goes like this:

 

 

What do you say to the cry of the heart

When its darkest night has come?

After lives of ancient loneliness

And longing for its own.

And from your pain, you call a name

You never thought you knew,

And She appears, and in Her hands

Are all your dreams come true.

 

What can you say? What can you say, but

Blessed, blessed am I...

*Om Kali, MahaKali, Mata Kali Jai*

 

 

What do you say to the radiant one

Who melts your fear and pain?

And then, She lets you love Her

Any foolish way you can.

She steals your heart, and heals your heart,

And fills it till it bursts,

And in the place it used to be

You'll find the Universe.

 

What can you say? What can you say, but

Blessed, blessed am I...

*Om Kali, MahaKali, Mata Kali Jai*

 

 

So let the Mind deny -- it is the Heart that sees Her

face.

The Heart that drinks Her tenderness

And seeks her sword of Grace.

Her fire is the sweetest food

The Heart has ever known,

And *Kali Ma* is the dearest word

The Heart has ever sung.

 

What can you say? What can you say, but

Blessed, blessed am I...

*Om Kali, MahaKali, Mata Kali Jai*

Oh, Len, I know this music by Christian (I own it) and it brings tears

to the eyes because it's so lovely. All the songs on that album.
