    Spiritual Music from around the world

    If one is interested in the wisdom traditions throughout the globe, one of the best ways to learn about them is to experience the music and art that is the fruit of such traditions. While there are an unlimited number of such spiritual songs, these are a few that have been especially beautiful and bright in my life.

    Mantra of Avalokitesvara - I hadn't heard this in years, and last night it started playing through my head. . one of the most lovely, peaceful feelings.


    Ana B'Ko'ach - a prayer from the Kabbalah


    Traveler's Prayer - John Renbourn


    In the Bleak Midwinter, Bert Jansch - this is from a poem of the same name by Christina Roessetti.


    I Am the Light of This World, Hot Tuna - it took me a little while to find this, the studio version! It's written by Gary Davis.


    Kabir's song sung by Abida Parveen - music doesn't start for about a minute into it. . it's so fullsome.. so lovely to hear Sufism (such as Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir and other poets) put into music.


    Dances of Universal Peace - with Samuel Lewis - in these dances men and women dance together as equals.


    and the vegetarians. . .
    Krishna Govinda, by Rishi Nityapragya

    These last two are the only ones with video, I mostly searched for ones without video, so it would require less bandwidth use.


    Navajo Healing Song

    Peace

    I think it is better to hear the music than the theory which can confuse. Thanks for posting them.
