SONG OF IMMORTALITY - Swami Sivananda Saraswati

SONG OF IMMORTALITY

Ram Ram Ram Ram,
Jaya Sita Ram
Jaya Jaya Radheshyam.
Turn the gaze, draw the indriyas,
Still the mind, sharpen the intellect;
Chant Om with feeling, meditate on atma,
Chant Ram with feeling, meditate on Sitaram,
Chant Shyam with feeling, meditate on Radheshyam.

O children of light, will you drink not,
Won't you drink not, the nectar of immortality?
(Ram Ram…..)

All karmas (are) burnt now,
You have become a jivanmukta,
That blessed state turiyatita
No words can describe,

O children of light, will you drink not,
Won't you drink not, the nectar of immortality?
(Ram Ram…..)

The grass is green, the rose is red,
And the sky is blue,
But the Atman is colourless,
Formless and gunaless too,

O children of light, will you drink not,
Won't you drink not, the nectar of immortality?
(Ram Ram…..)

Life is short, time is fleeting,
The world is full of miseries,
Cut the knot of avidya,
And drink the sweet nirvanic bliss,

O children of light, will you drink not,
Won't you drink not, the nectar of immortality?
(Ram Ram…..)

Feel the divine presence everywhere
See the divine glory all-round,
Then dive deep into the divine source,
Realise the infinite bliss,

O children of light, will you drink not,
Won't you drink not, the nectar of immortality?
(Ram Ram…..)

Do asana; kumbak, mudra,
Shake the kundalini;
Then take it to sahasrar
Through cakras in the susumna,

O children of light, will you drink not,
Won't you drink not, the nectar of immortality?
(Ram Ram…..)
