ॐ आनन्दमयि चैतन्यमयि सत्यमयि परमे
– Sri Aurobindo
These (om anandamayi chaitanyamayi satyamai parame) are the words of the first song on a wonderful CD I've had for years – Hymns and Songs in Sanskrit, sung by Joy Chowdhury of Auroville, South India.
I briefly met Joy Chowdhury at a friend's house in Auroville late in 2004 and remember – and this is a memory that's stuck in my mind for incomprehensible reasons – seeing her vanish behind a curve of an Auroville dirt road on her scooter, with her daughter riding behind her.
– Leonard Blumfeld
The musicians are:
Joy Chowdhury - Vocals
Holger Jetter - Keyboards & arrangements
Bryce Grinlington - Flute
Krishna Both - Tabla
Nadaka - Tambura and additional vocal
– Sri Aurobindo

ReplyDeleteHi Jack,
ReplyDeletesorry for taking so long to respond to your comment. I have no information about Joy other than that she lived in Auroville when I was there in 2004/2005, and that's a long time ago, of course...
Yours, L. B.
