I heard the song for the first time in the film "Assa." I remember getting goosebumps. An extraordinary melody, extraordinary magical words. And only now do I learn that it is—"Above the blue sky..." Amazing! Garuda is there, and Narasimha, and others. It is something unimaginable!!
What kind of people are born on Earth—Vavilov, the author of the poem, and the artist.
And as for "Ave Maria"—that is a shock altogether—how many times I have heard this version. The man overcame himself just so that these works could enter the world.
Thank you, Om Shanti.
Я не могу удержаться от комментария. Песня невероятной красоты. Впервые услышала её по радио. И история её создания необыкновенная. Какие удивительные люди ходят по земле, они видят больше и показывают нам эту красоту. Спасибо Ом Шанти, Вы нам открываете глаза. https://clck.ru/U9zQT. Добавляю ссылку на песню "Город золотой" в исполнении Дмитрия Певцова.
Thank you, Om Shanti! It is sad to admit that I slept through much of this life. The song’s extraordinary beauty touched the strings of my soul before, too. But today, tears are streaming from my open eyes. Thank you, and a deep bow to the people who bring light into our lives!
Imagine that—I had heard this song so many times, yet it never occurred to me to draw a comparison with Garuda, Narasimha, and Shiva’s bull, Nandi. It is so obvious. In the Ashram, the Teacher recently gave a lecture on how to see the Truth, on how it is nearby, and on what one must do to see it. And the test game for attentiveness so eloquently shows that most people do not even see the most obvious and evident things they are looking directly at.
Om Shanti, I have been wanting to clarify something for a long time. Why do you write everywhere that the Manipura chakra is located in the area of the solar plexus, whereas, for example, according to the Shiva Samhita, Manipura is located at the level of the navel? No matter how much I have studied the subject, most teachers say that Manipura is located at the level of the navel. Sometimes they even call it the Nabhi chakra. This is not a frivolous question. I genuinely want to understand where it is located, since thanks to you I know quite a few practices for working with the chakras. But I have always experienced a mental dissonance regarding the place where the chakra should be visualized. Many say that the Madhyama Bindu/Tigle/Dantian is located at the level of the solar plexus. I humbly ask you to help me understand.

It is simple to figure out, since all the chakras correspond to the main glands or plexuses.
For example, Vishuddha corresponds to the thyroid gland, Ajna to the pituitary gland, and Manipura to the solar plexus. Solar plexus — Wikipedia
I would like to create an image of the Manipura yantra, and I want to ask what it looks like in color. There are many versions on the Internet, and they all differ slightly in color. Which one is more accurate—the one you provided on the website in the first post?
2345, yes, this is quite a good version of the yantra.
It has the right color, bija mantra, number of petals, and geometry.
You can also write their bija mantras on each petal.
A deep bow to the authors of these magical lines and this wondrous melody! Now I know their names. “The Golden City” has always stirred my heart and given me a sense of touching something Beautiful and Otherworldly. But today I listened to this familiar song as if for the first time. I hummed it for a long time and couldn’t stop. Then suddenly, “The Untold Tale” by OM Shanti came alive in my memory. I was shaken when I first read this poem. I often return to it: once again, everything inside me grows still with delight, and tears flow freely. How I long to find myself in this Tale, sit beside the dragon, and embrace it without fear! But to do that, one must be a true Princess, with pure Thoughts, a luminous Soul, and a loving Heart.
Today, all day long, I have felt as though my Soul had been washed clean. Thank you, OM Shanti!
. . .
I want to be in that tale where evil does not prevail.
Never—not for a day, not for an hour, not for a moment.
Where the princess plays carefree and tenderly with the dragon,
Because the dragon has understood her heart and soul.
. . .
I want to be in that tale where death is not needed to rise again.
Where no cross is needed for people to learn love.
I want to dissolve into that tale, to disappear.
And never return from that tale again.
Thank you, Esteemed Teacher! I have heard this song many times, but never thought about its meaning. Navaratri is coming very soon. For me, the Lion has always been Mother Durga’s vahana. And I remembered the constellations of Leo, the Ox, and the Eagle.
It has been just three years since I created this thread.
And now the person who sang this song and published his own translation of the Bhagavad Gita is considered an extremist.

Those who bestowed this title upon him face a long period of spiritual work and, apparently, many reincarnations. To me, he is one of the three most important contemporaries who have given people a taste of a different worldview. Another contemporary is also on this website
