Just some observations on some individuals on the guru-trail.
Lyrics
Om nama Devaya
She flew on concorde to Bahrain
And walked barefoot like Khalil Gibrain
Then she caught another plane
To do India before Japan
The plumbing sank and she almost starved
Looked nothing like her photograph
But she read that it was good to fast
In a book by Bhagwan Rama Dass
Chorus: Om nama devaya the tourists
Chant in Lampur Nagar
He’d been through the whole growth scene
He’d even had a primal scream
But everywhere he went it seemed
His mama dried all his wet dreams
In a devotee ring all holding hands
He could dance himself into a trance
Now he was a cosmic man
With as mala and an old kaftan
Chorus
They worshipped at the great man’s feet
And brought him mango fruit to eat
And though Raja Rishi would seldom speak
His vibrations were unique
He knew the past and knew the future
And anyway what did it matter
Infinity was here and now
Just hang around and you’ll know somehow
Chorus
They stood outside and their eyes met
Across a furtive cigarette
Had she felt samadhi yet?
She said satthva is all that I can get
Had he lost all his desire?
She asked as his kaftan grew higher
He blushed and talked of life’s illusion
She smiled at his carnal confusion
Chorus
Her father was a physicist
And made the plans for dams like this
And though she pulled and kicked and yelled
The bucket was empty in daddy’s well
All around the storm clouds loomed
Though they’d no water in their rooms
She could have got a good hotel
But she didn’t want to lose the mood
Chorus
I clicked on to news.com
To find out what was going on
Just another act of God
A thousand dead in a monsoon flood
I rang out for a take-away
Biryani from the Old Bombay
Then I looked out to check the Thames
Flood Barrier was raised again
Chorus:Om nama Devaya
two tourists trapped in Lampur Nagar
Om nama Devaya
The tourists chant in Lampur Nagar……………………….end
