Hub of the Universe
The Dawn of the Age of Kali
Ranchor will sing some Sanskrit mantras accompanied by tamboura.
We will open the evening with a shared exercise in sacred sound:
om namo bhagavate vasudevaya
In ancient times sages gathered at the hub of the universe to prepare for this difficult age.
We live in unprecedented times, with massive population growth, consumption running out of control, and ever more damaging technologies.
Barriers between cultures are dissolving which has brought us information but also confusion.
These days were foretold in ancient times: this is called the Age of Kali.
Earth is the cosmic crossroads – where we choose how we wish to be.
This age has one great blessing: Mercy.
The power of Sacred name.
We will close with the shared chanting of Japa.
