The English translation is as follows: You are as severe as a thunder bolt yet, as tender as a flower bud. O Lord Shiva, holder of the pinaka (bow), I salute You. You are like a silver mountain, carrying a crescent moon on Your head. I know that You imbibe all attributes. You are the controller of both the expressed and the unexpressed worlds and the shelter of all distressed. You are beginningless and beyond the scope of time. Yet, You remain established in all finite objects. I salute You, O ever tranquil one! Even the animals surrender to You! You are the owner of all gems and also the supreme relinquisher of everything. You are as effulgent as a bright emerald. O very seed and primordial force of the universe! Controller of all created beings! I salute You, Lord Shiva.

The English translation is: My Lord is covered in golden light. The bird of dawn begins to sing, vibrant with new life. Why all this? In answer to whose call? Day and night I seek Him. The new light sends forth a blaze of effulgence and beats its new wings of joy. My Lord is covered with golden light. Note: This is the experience of a meditator immediately after receiving initiation.

A special mantra is repeated while each person offers mental "flowers" that symbolise their attachments, laying them at the 'feet' of Cosmic Consciousness – the Supreme Entity. Verse 1. AKHANDA MANDALAKARAM VYAPTAM YENA CHARACHARAN TATPADAM DARSHITAM YENA TASMAI SHRI GUAVE NAMAH The English Translation ofverse1 is: My Salutations to that Guru who revealed to me that Truth, which is unfragmented, infinite, timeless divinity, and which pervades the entire universe – movable or unmovable. 2. AJYAN TIMIR ANDHASYA JYANANJAN SHALAKAYA CHAKHUR UNMILITAM YENA TASMAI SHRI GURAVE NAMAH The English Translation of verse 2 is: My Salutations to that reverential teacher, who opened my eyes, by applying the divine collyrium of self knowledge to my eyes, which were blinded by ignorance. 3. GURUR BRAHMA GURUR VISHNU, GURUR DEVA MAHESHVARA, GURU REVA PARAMA BRAHMA, TASMAE SHRII GURUVE NAMAH The English Translation ofverse3 is: Guru is none other than the creator (Brahma), sustainer (Vishnu) and destroyer (Shiva). Guru is verily the transcendental divinity, (the timeless life-principle, which is the very essence of the creator etc.) My reverential salutations to that glorious one.

about

'Dharmacakra' begins with devotional songs such as Prabhata Samgiita ‘songs of the new dawn’, composed by P.R.Sarkar. The first one is titled Vajra Kathora (no 1565).
Kiirtan
Next we sing Kiirtan, with the 'Baba nam kevalam' mantra, given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti on 8 Oct 1970. Baba means ‘deepest inner self’, ‘supreme consciousness’, ‘most beloved’, 'nam' means ‘only, ‘surrrender’, ‘name or vibration’, and 'kevalam' means ‘only’, ‘everything’, 'Supreme Consciousness is all there is’ or ‘the name of the Beloved only’.
Following kiirtan there is the Rk Vedic chant 'Samgaccadvam', song of unity, which is sung three times before beginning meditation. After collective meditation the following mantra is repeated:Nityam Shudam and Guru Vandana ‘offering of the colours of the mind’ also sung three times. After Guru Vandana we have Dharma Shastra, a reading on a spiritual topic. In this case, I have composed the music to Ananda Sutram (Chapter 1) or the Cycle of Creation, and underneath each sutra there is a brief translation.
