Na Punyam

During His public discourses, Sai Baba often sang, improvising, small verses carrying the essence of the teaching that He wishes to convey at that moment. His echoing voice vibrating our hearts, it embraces everyone listening. These chants have been the inspiration for this CD. Rich in content, profound in meaning and spiritual in music, the depth of the Raga (melody), Bhava (sentiment) and Tala (beat/rhythm) of Indian music prompted us to fuse a western assembly to Sai Baba’s voice and indian Instruments with the aim of sharing this golden voice of peace and love with the whole world. Na Punyam Na Punyam Na Pâpam Na Saukhyam Na Dukkham Na Manthro Na Tîrtham Na Vedâ Na yajnam Aham Bhojanam Na Bhojanam Naiva Bhojam Na Kartau Sadânanda Rûpam Advaitam Sathyam Sivam Sundaram Sadânanda Rûpam Shivoham Shivoham Neither sin nor merit; neither pleasures nor pain. Neither sacred formulae nor sacred places. Neither Vedas nor yajnas (rituals).I am neither the eaten nor the eater nor the act of eating; I am the ever blissful One, One without a second, Truth, Goodness and Beauty. I am THAT . • Bhauya Bhauya Bhâvâlu Kûdina Bhârathîya Bhauya Bhâvâlu Kûdina Bhârathîya Divya Samskruthi Tathvammu Telisi Konagâ Bhauya Bhâvâlu Kûdina Bhârathîya Divya Tathvam Divya Samskruthi Tathvammu Telisi Konagâ Bhâratîyula Yathnimpa Nerarairi Intha Kantenu Daurbhâgyamemi Kaladu Bhâratîyule Yathnimpa Nerarairi Bhavya Prakruthi Tathvammu Telusu Konaga Bhâratîyule Yathnimpa Nerarairi Intha Kante Daurbhâgyamo Yemi Kaladu Intha Kante Daurbhâgyamo Yemi Kaladu O Bharateeya! You have noble intentions but have not come forward to grasp the divine principle of culture of this land. Can there be a greater misfortune than this? • Manasu Manasu Mâlinyamula Nella Mattubetti Manasu Mâlinyamula Nella Mattubetti Parama Parishuddha Bhâvamul Pâdu Kolupa Gnâna Drishtiyu Nepadi Kâna Baduno Viswamanthayu Brahma Yai Venugunatula Viswamanthayu Brahma Yai Venugunatula Having completely destroyed all the dross of mind and having made an effort to implant pure and unsullied feelings, one can see the whole universe filled with the Supreme Being Brahman through the vision of knowledge.
