My cassette tape of this was worn out due to the number of times I listened to it as a teen (Sri Isopanishad was my favourite track). It was among a collection of cassette tapes I purchased back in the early 80's from ISKCON...the others were Benediction Moon, A Change of Heart by Michael Cassidy and a complete satire series called "Radio Ram".

Sri Isopanishad:
https://youtu.be/SGjMlZSJfrU

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पुर्णमुदच्यते

पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

Om Puurnnam-Adah Puurnnam-Idam Puurnnaat-Purnnam-Udacyate

Puurnnasya Puurnnam-Aadaaya Puurnnam-Eva-Avashissyate ||

Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||



Meaning:

1: Om, That (Outer World) is Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); This (Inner World) is also Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); From Purna comes Purna (From the Fullness of Divine Consciousness the World is manifested) ,

2: Taking Purna from Purna, Purna Indeed Remains (Because Divine Consciousness is Non-Dual and Infinite).

3: Om Peace, Peace, Peace.


Nowdays, I am a Shaivite and into a few of the more contemporary bhajans after exhausting my supply of the traditional ones.

In particular, I like Babaji Hansraj Raguwanshi, Kailash Kher, Shahnaz Aktar and the version of Gayatri Mantra performed by Super Deluxe. Here are some of the bhajans I love.. enjoy:

I will post more later.

Aum Namah Shivaya

Sri Isopanishad is also so beautiful. Have you heard this medley of the Shivopasana and mantras by Uma Mohan? It took me forever to memorize the “namaste astu bhagavan vishveshvaraya mahadevaya... “ verse. This is one of my favorite chants. I’ve been known to be stopped at a red light, windows down, chanting it.
