Ananda are a group of male singers and musicians based in various locations around Great Britain. We arrange the beautiful and haunting melodies of Sri Chinmoy for guitar, harmonium, mandolin, tablas, violin, keyboard, percussion and voice. All the songs have a meditative quality and we try to express this quality whilst performing.
The first song Usha bala elo has the translation:
Slowly, very slowly,
The virgin dawn appears
In the very depths of my aspiration-heart.
The translation of Akashe amar is
My infinite consciousness-light
Pervades the sky and ether.
Today I shall strike and destroy in a twinkling
The world’s intense sufferings.
