Song of the week ending 15, August 2008

Japo japo amma amma amba naama japo re
istha naama satya naama mukthi naama japo re

Let us chant "AMMA, AMMA", let us chant the name of AMMA
Let us chant that name which is dear to us, which is the truth and which will give us liberation

Amrithapureshwari jagadamba japo re
istha naama satya naama mukthi naama japo re

Let us chant the name of the ruler of the world who resides in the town of immortality
Let us chant that name which is dear to us, which is the truth and which will give us liberation

Sadguru jagadguru jagadamba japo re
istha naama satya naama mukthi naama japo re

Let us chant the name of the ruler of the world who is the Sadguru for the entire world
Let us chant that name which is dear to us, which is the truth and which will give us liberation

Amba naama karma dhaama yoga dhaama japo re
istha naama satya naama mukthi naama japo re

Let us chant AMMA's name which is the abode of actions and yoga (actions end up in yoga of equanamity)
Let us chant that name which is dear to us, which is the truth and which will give us liberation

Amba naama bhakthi dhaama jnana dhaama japo re
istha naama satya naama mukthi naama japo re

Let us chant AMMA's name which is the abode of devotion and knowledge (that gives devotion and knowledge to seekers)
Let us chant that name which is dear to us, which is the truth and which will give us liberation

Amba naama brahma naama divya naama japo re
istha naama satya naama mukthi naama japo re

Let us chant AMMA's name which is the name of Brahman (the ultimate non-dual reality) and name which is luminous (consciousness)
Let us chant that name which is dear to us, which is the truth and which will give us liberation

This is a song with very simple lyrics sung by Swami Amritagitananda Puri. This is just like any naama sankirthanam (just naems of ishwara). For a normal seeker, it is just a normal prayer with names of Ishwara but for an advanced seeker, it is Vedanta in depth and the seeker seeking what really is to be sought. Ultimately the song converts to "let me chant AMMA's name". The song has been recorded in my voice which can be found here. Please bear the noise, disturbance and awful chanting as am not a singer.
