Mukteshwar

A quarter century ago a few young lads played a version of Pink Floyd's classic 'Comfortably Numb" in Parker Hall of Woodstock School. On other occasions - playing under the name of Silmarillion - the fellows cranked out covers of Kansas and Petra anthems. I was a year below these tunesters.

One the fellows continued in music - and in exploring a faith devoted to Jesus Christ - and expressing his following of Christ within various Indian devotional traditions.

Chris Hale is the man in question - and over the last decade he and Peter Hicks have formed the core of Aradhna. Their new album Namaste Saté has just been released and here is a track from it called Mukteshwar.

Be blessed.




Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy
Those who are poor in this world
Blessed are they, blessed are they
For the kingdom of heaven is theirs
Blessed are they, blessed are they
They who mourn in this world, will have peace
The meek in this world, will rule
Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy
Those whose hearts are pure in this world will see God
Those who make peace will be called the children of God - Sri Yeshu Ji
