ALEVI DERVISHES - An esoteric Sufi ceremony - Prayer in the praise of the God and the Prophets


Here you have a very rare and interesting piece. A Alevi dervish ceremony with Saz and singing. The Alevi Sufis are very special and derserve more attention. If this catches your fancy check out other Alevi Saz musicans like Muhlis Akarsu, start with Youtube and while at it see the great Alevi Dervish film about Pir Sultan Abdal. Google video has it in it entirety. Thanks to my friend (who wants to remain unknown) who gave me this.

NIKHIL BANERJEE - Hemant 1970



Nikhil Banerjee (R.I.P) was one of the best Indian sitarists ever. He had a spiritual depth which is rare among sitarists and others of the Indian classical music scene. Hemant from 1970 is a prime example of this. You get a depth and vibe which must be experienced to be believed. I got this originally from the excellent Henry's Archive blog. If this album catches your fancy, feel free to explore Henry's blog for more.

Peace be on you all

P.D Ouspensky - The Psychology of mans possible evolution



I figured it's time this blog diversifies itself to sharing books as well as music. Peter Ouspensky was the for most disciple of G.I Gurdjieff, a esoteric mystic who brought to the west a esoteric teaching called esoteric Christianity (prehistoric Egyptian root of all the western religions) or the fourth way as he also called it.

"The psychology of mans possible evolution"is an introduction to the fourth way. It's a good beginning if one wants to explore this teaching. I read this 10 years ago and it had a profound effect on me. Hope it enlightens you as well. Best to you all.

For the sake of our forests and enviroment
Please read this book on your computer. Every effort counts.

RAVI SHANKAR - JOGESHWARI


Another excellent deep raga from Ravi Shankar. This time in the vein of Nikhil Banerjee, a single long deep raga thats more for the soul and spirit than for the showcasing fast fingers which many ragas are prone to develop into. This is a definite personal favorite. Enjoy it friends!
