From Shadows to Light: | A Hindu Chant

Oh man, remember what you have done
The seeds are sown, the web is spun
The past is a shadow, the sun is low
Face the truth before you go
But do not halt, and do not fear
A sacred sound is drawing near
Leave the heavy chains behind
Heal the mirrors of the mind
Go forward now by chanting God’s name
Step through the light, step through the flame
Namasmarana… Namasmarana…
In the holy sound, the truth is found
Namasmarana…
Remember…
Forward…
Namasmarana

Lyrics:
Rumanian (Original Language)
Verse 1] Foaie verde, bob secară, M-a prins dorul de astă-sară. E un dor ce nu se vede, Inima în piept îmi crede, Că ești munte, că ești vale, Și mi-ai stat de-a pururi cale.
[Chorus] Măi bădiță, floare rară, Dragostea e foc și fiară. Arde-n suflet, nu se stinge, Ca un vânt ce mă atinge. Acordeonul plânge-n noapte, Spunându-mi doar ale tale șoapte.
[Verse 2] Zice lumea că-i păcat, Să iubești un om plecat. Dar eu n-ascult de pământ, Ascult inima în vânt. Să vii, neică, pe sub meri, Să-mi dai sărutul de ieri.
[Chorus] Măi bădiță, floare rară, Dragostea e foc și fiară. Arde-n suflet, nu se stinge, Ca un vânt ce mă atinge. Acordeonul plânge-n noapte, Spunându-mi doar ale tale șoapte.
[Outro] Dorule, măi dorule… Nu mă lăsa, mândrule…

Translation (English)
Verse 1] Green leaf, rye grain, I have been gripped by the longing for this day. It is a longing that cannot be seen, My heart in my chest believes, That you are a mountain, that you are a valley, And you have stood in my way forever.
[Chorus] Oh, my dear, rare flower, Love is fire and beast. It burns in the soul, it does not go out, Like a wind that touches me. The accordion cries in the night, Telling me only your whispers.
[Verse 2] The world says it is a sin, To love a man who has left. But I do not listen to the earth, I listen to the heart in the wind. Come, my sister, under the apple trees, To give me yesterday’s kiss.
[Chorus] Oh, my dear, rare flower, Love is fire and beast. It burns in the soul, it does not go out, Like a wind that touches me. The accordion cries in the night, Telling me only your whispers.
[Outro] Longing, oh longing… Don’t leave me, proud…
Open up and see the magic! A Children’s Fairytale inspired by the beloved Hindu God “Ganesh”. Read the complete book with rich colorful illustrations below.

Little Amara lived in a garden full of soft grass and bright flowers. One morning, she saw a very special friend sitting under a big tree. It was Ganesha, with his kind elephant face and his very round belly. He looked as peaceful as a sleeping cloud.

Near Ganesha’s feet, a tiny mouse named Mushika was busy nibbling on a sweet yellow treat. He had big ears and a long, twitching tail. Amara giggled as Mushika looked up and gave a friendly squeak.

Around Ganesha’s tummy was a shiny, green snake named Vasuki. Vasuki wasn’t scary at all; he sparkled like a necklace made of emeralds. He flicked his tongue and looked at Ganesha with great love.

Amara looked at Ganesha’s belly. It was so big and so round! She wondered what was inside that made it so special. “Is it full of sweets?” she asked with a tilt of her head. Ganesha just smiled and nodded for her to come closer.

Amara reached out her hand and placed her palm right in the middle of Ganesha’s tummy. It felt warm and soft, like a sunbeam. Suddenly, the air began to hum a sweet, quiet song that made Amara feel very calm.

As she kept her hand there, the garden seemed to fade away. Amara and Mushika were suddenly floating! Tiny dots of light, like silver dust, swirled all around them. It wasn’t dark; it was full of every color she had ever seen.

Vasuki stretched out long and thin, turning into a bridge of stars. Amara saw the moon, the sun, and all the planets spinning slowly. “The whole world is in here,” she whispered. Everything was connected, like a giant, beautiful blanket.

Then, everything became very quiet. The spinning stars felt like a soft lullaby. Amara realized that the big, wide universe was not a scary place. It was a home full of peace, and it was all held safely inside Ganesha’s belly.

Mushika came close and tapped Amara’s hand. He wanted her to know that the peace she felt wasn’t just in the stars. It was inside her, too. Amara felt a warm glow in her heart that matched the glow of the universe.

With a blink, Amara was back in the garden. Ganesha was still smiling, and Vasuki was tucked back in his place. Amara patted Ganesha’s belly one last time. She knew a secret now: the whole world is big, but peace is always close enough to touch.
