Hare Krishna Hare Hare chanted by Juergen. The word Krishna means in Sanskrit "dark" and symbolizes the highest consciousness. Traditionally, Krishna is depicted with blue skin color and yellow (peetambara) clothing. The yellow color stands for the infinity and is the color of the earth. Krishna blue body with yellow clothes thus represents the pure, infinite consciousness that incarnated on earth to play in his limited body a role. Krishna moved the world in his spell with his charming, divine music. The flute represents immobile matter. Even the flute can not produce music, but if the Lord does that, she charmed everyone. The holes in the flute symbolize the senses, mind and intellect, which is expressed by the divine. Come and join to sing along with Jürgen the Maha Mantra.

Atmanshanti chants the spiritual Kumbaya my Lord. If you are looking for the musical notes have a view to this page: http://mein.yoga-vidya.de/profiles/blogs/kumbaya-my-lord - the song "Kum ba yah" is orginal an African-American Hebrew (YAH) spiritual song from the 1930s created in the United States. It enjoyed newfound popularity during the folk revival of the 1960s and became a standard campfire song in Scouting and other nature-oriented organizations. Originally is this song associated with human and spiritual unity, closeness and compassion, and it still is, but more recently it is also cited or alluded to in satirical, sarcastic or even cynical ways that suggest blind or false moralizing, hypocrisy, or naively optimistic views of the world and human nature.
