Mantra, Kirtan and Stotra: Sanskrit Chants

Om Arunachala Om Arunachala Arunachala Shiva Shiva Shiva The kirtan was written for the mountain "Arunachala" in South India. It is said that Shiva lives there. On the full moon of each month, thousands of Indian and Western pilgrims circumambulate Arunachala on foot. Symbolically, Arunachala stands for the warming sunbeams of dawn, which he brings into our closed hearts. So with this kirtan we can connect completely with Shiva. Shiva as a universal force in the universe, as our own true nature.

Am         F G             Am Jay Hanuman Jay Hanuman            G                 Am Jay Sitaram Jay Sitaram        F                       G                                 Am Sitaram Sitaram Sitaram Sitaram Sitaram Sitaram Sitaram Sitaram Mantra for devotion, unconditional love and joy performed by Ramani - vocals, harmonium Sonya - vocals, cymbals Patrick - vocals The kirtan helps you to surrender to the Divine and to life itself - just as Hanuman surrendered to Rama in complete trust. Hanuman was the servant of Rama and Sita. Sita was the wife of Rama and they both are considered as an ideal couple. Rama does not exist without Sita and Sita does not exist without Rama, so they often speak or sing of "Sitaram". They lead us to unconditional love. Jaya means "long live" and so we can translate Jay Hanuman and Jay Sitaram as "long live Hanuman - long live Sitaram".
