ONLY IN THE SANCTUARY OF NOWNESS Can I find my way home to peace, joy and bliss Only in this very moment Of bright sun and fleeting clouds Can I give birth to My own lasting inner joy. It is not what happens to me That truly determines my state of being, But what I do with what happens That makes this now shine with Light. This sweet safe sanctuary of nowness Is ever immanent and available, Yet few even suspect that this glimmering Space of peace and expanding joy even exists. Eh Ma Ho! The truth of the now is liberating, Once we discover the way to its refuge within— All of us suffer so much unnecessarily! Wandering futilely for lifetimes in a dream Created by a mind which doesn’t know itself— Yet this very present moment is and always Has been our spirit’s true eternal home.

This is one of the most powerful and widely used mantra on the planet…It’s purpose is to invoke the Supreme Consciousness within yourself and is a practice for attaining the ability to live in this very present moment.
Amma sings this bhajan with a heart opening melody and soul elevating voice that is easy to sing along with and learn the mantra so that you can sing it in your own daily life…you will be amazed at the results once you have been singing this mantra long enough to taste its power and sweetness!
