Mantra
"Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo"
Ong Namo -I bow to the subtle divine wisdom
Guru Dev Namo - I bow to the divine teacher within.
Yogi Bhajan taught this is ancient yogic mantra as a tool to relate instantly to the divine teacher within. Adi means primal or first. In Kundalini yoga, this is the first mantra that should be used for any yogic or meditative practice. It is used to tune in before Kundalini Yoga classes, to center us in the higher self, and to spiritually guide both the teacher and the students during the class.

Musical chords vs. D-Am ch. Am-D
vs.
The seasons come and they go, changing over time.
The leaves will grow and fall, the cycles of life.
But you are the constant, ever in my life.
The light in my heart.
The thought of you brings so much joy.
The thought of you brings me home.
The thought of you brings me to my knees.
Knowing there's so much more.
ch.
How may I serve you more.
How may I love you more.
How may I be closer to you.
vs.
You are the wind, that presses against my sails.
The stars that Shine bright, through the thickest veils.
You are this vessel, carrying me along the way.
Ever from my heart.

Chords Vs. D-G Ch. A-E-D
Vs.
Oh the roads you'll travel
Oh the things you'll see
Oh the lives you'll live
Oh the things you'll be
Traveling on this road
Ever towards the one.
Down through the sun's halo,
White as the snow.
Flies the dove of love
Perched on my shoulder now
And nuzzles against my cheek
Telling me what's to be.
Ch.
This is one dove's dedication
to the flower of life.
Vs.
To live from the heart is to live to be free,
And give thanks to the mother for she is the seed.
When we came from the stars and the heavens to the Sea,
to the earth where we placed our own bare feet
She embraced us with her love
and said you are welcome child of God.
Take care of the land from there you will eat
Keep the water clean from there you will drink
The sun ray's gold will bath your soul
And the air you breath in will energize
The whole of your being, connected to all that is.
Purify the body, purify the mind,
then songs you will sing to know the divine.
Speak truth from your words and all will reveal,
reflections we are all on this wheel.
Spinning through space and time,
one more journey closer to the divine.
To serve and be served is one way to be free
And to love and to give unconditionally
Hold reverence for life and all you perceive
For this life is what you make it to be
And let grace fall upon you for you will know that you are infinity
Ch.

Jaya Lakshmi Vs.
In the shelter of this sacred grove,
A wondrous blessing of love to behold.
Merging once again with your beauty,
I'm feeling your love so deeply.
And from this place we will carry on,
In the sweet land of Vrindavan
Glorifying the love supreme
Our every breath an offering.
Ananda Vs.
The flute of love trickles out,
Songs I've known before.
The music draws me to your essence,
This place that I adore.
And you embrace me with your arms,
Eyes merged with mine.
Lips connect, souls enmeshed,
With the splendor of the divine.
Together
And in your presence I am,
Closer than ever before.
I seek not the gates of heaven,
For heaven is here adorned
With the hearts of those,
Who have given all,
Thy blessings unto thee,
Reflections of eternal light,
Giving bliss eternally.
