about

This "Love Song" came after discovering an old dulcimer at a thrift store in Thousand Oaks, CA. The music came pretty quickly, but there were no words to this song for the first few months of it's incarnation. Then one day I brought my dulcimer in front of my altar and started singing. These words just felt so right with it, and I've never been able to play it or sing it another way since :)

The line, "jai jai nīma kārolī bābā kṛpā karahu āvai sadbhāvā" is a line from the Vinaya Chālisā. It means, "Glory, glory Neem Karoli Baba, please purify my heart with your grace."

lyrics

maṅgala mūrati māruta nandana
sakala amaṅgala mūla nikandana

śrī rāma jaya rāma jaya jaya rāma

jai jai nīma kārolī bābā
kṛpā Karahu āvai sadbhāvā
