Shiva bhajan

 - 
Duration: 
6 mins

In this bhajan or chant of praise to Shiva, one of the main Gods of the yogic tradition, we tune into the cosmic cycles of time through the sound of the drum and the bell. Shiva is said to be the archetypal energy of the ever-changing cosmos, helping us to connect in to the seasons, and the effortless process of change and transformation - especially as we learn to let go of that which is holding us back.

This particular bhjan is fun and joyful - and perfect if you want to bring a sense of strength and power to your practice.

Performed at a live concert in Australia, Petra Opsteeg, one of our top sound and mantra tutors here at Dru, shares the bhjan as 'call and answer' meaning you can sing along too!
