DAMARU

From Sounds of Isha

Damaru is the musical instrument of Adiyogi, the first yogi. He is also the Adi Guru or the first Guru. The yogic lore says that on the day of Guru Purnima, he decided to offer the science of yoga to his seven disciples, who are, now, celebrated as the Saptarishis.

This album is an offering to the Adiyogi on the occasion of Guru Purnima, recognizing him as a yogi, a guru, a being beyond qualities who defies all definition. We hope Damaru resonates with you and awakens within every seeker the passion for the Ultimate.

1. Adiyoginam Pranamāmyaham

This song is a salutation to Adiyogi, the first yogi, who is beyond any one quality, who has conquered the five elements. We bow down to the first Guru who transmitted the science of yoga through the Saptarishis.

2. Chandrashekhara Ashtakam

Chandrashekara Ashtakam is said to have been written by Sage Markandeya.It is said that at the age of sixteen, Markandeya was saved by Shiva from the God of Death (Kala or Yama). In these verses, Markandeya seeks refuge in Shiva, referred to here as Chandrashekara (the one who wears the crescent moon on his head). “When He is by my side, what can Yama do to me?” he proclaims.

4. Na Hi Shiva Sneha

Originally penned by Sadhguru in English before the consecration of the Yogeshwar Linga, these verses have been translated into Sanskrit. They talk about the mysterious and crafty ways of the formless Divine who shows the way to stillness and fulfilment, who is not the way but the end.

View Lyrics

Na hi shiva sneha na tu shiva prema
Noyam dayāwān na karunākara
Navā prārthaya tam shivam tava sukhāya
Shiva tu sampurna paripurnatā hi shiva

Shilāgādha hridaye garvayuktāsam
Āgato anena tadā anāhutam
Hridayam tu me srāvayat spandayadayam
Sakala prānibhya shilābhyashcha nityam

Vishwāsam mā kuru nishchala shivam
Asya nishchalatwena ākrushtaha aham
Ayameva mārgam iti amanye aham
Avagāto adhunā ayameva antyam

5. Gurvashtakam

In the Indian tradition, great importance is attached to having a Guru in one’s life. The Gurvashtakam exemplifies this cultural tenet. In this octet, Adi Shankara lists the various aspects of life that human beings generally prize: fame, power, riches, beauty, intelligence, talent, possessions, a wonderful family. Then he dismisses it all, saying, “If one’s mind does not surrender before the feet of the Guru, what is the point? What is the point, what is the point, oh, what is the point?”

Gruham bāndhava sarvametaddhi jātam

Shadangādivedo mukhe shāstra vidyā
Kavitwādi gadyam supadyam karoti

Sadāchārvrutteshu matto na chānyaha

Kshama mandale bhupa bhupala vrundai
Sadā sevitam yasya pādāravindam
Yasho me gatam dikshu dāna pratāpāt
Jagadwastu sarvam kare yat prasādāt

Na bhoge na yoge na vā vājirājau
Na kāntā mukhe naiva vitteshu chittam
Aranye na vā svasya gehe na kārye
Na dehe mano vartate metwanarghye

Anarghyāni ratnāni muktāni samyak
Samālingita kāmini yāminishu

6. Uma Maheshwara Stotram

(Selected verses)

The yogic traditions recognized the dualities of life – masculine and feminine, logical and intuitive, creator and creation, purusha and praktriti, Shiva and Shakti. On the surface, the Uma Maheshwara Stotram by Adi Shankara is a salutation to Shiva and his consort Parvati. On a deeper level it celebrates the two fundamental dimensions of existence.

7. Parvati Vallabha Ashtakam

(Selected verses)

This Ashtakam is a chant of salutations to Shiva, “the consort of Parvati”. It describes the various attributes of Shiva who is exhorted by the sages and the Vedas and who is also known as the Lord of Blessings, who is attributed contradicting descriptions likening him to devils and ghosts as well as the most beautiful being. Embodying all the qualities of existence, he is all-embracing and inclusive – as life naturally is.
