Sheet Music for Aquarian Sadhana Mantras

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

Australia will be having White Tantric for the first time on September 13 - if

you are free and

would like a trip downunder now is the time to come! I am super excited, of

course!!!

 

The day after White Tantric the Kundalini Yoga Teachers Assoc is hosting a

sadhana and we

would like to have live music. Does anyone have the chords for the Aquarian

mantras or

some sheet music that they can share with us?

 

Shine bright

I, too, have longed for the sheet music for the chants - and I recently emailed Snatam Kaur asking why there wasn't a song book. I also emailed with Dev Saroop Kaur - apparently there really has not been sheet music for the chants. People just scribble down the chords and everyone has their own notes on the music. But Snatam Kaur said that a songbook is in the works. You can go to her website and ask to be put on the mailing list so you can be kept updated as to when it will come out. Dev Saroop said to just start playing some chords. Start with two and start chanting. She said "you would be amazed at how far two chords will take you!" I did actually get guitar chords from Kirn Kaur for On This Day/Long Time Sun - and I've been playing it after class for the last two weeks. My students love it!

Happy to share the guitar chords. You may have to position the chords with the appropriate words. I had to play it to figure it out - where they change, I mean:

 

On this day the lord gave you lifeG D Em Cmay you use it to serve himG D AmAll our loving prayers will be with youG D Em CMay you never forget himG D AmMay the longtime sun shine upon youG C Gall love surround youC D Gand the pure light within you guide your way on D G C D G

 

Blessings,

As there are many souls, there are many tunes

the original way to sing " May the longtime " goes like this:

 

May the longtime sun shine upon you

G G GG A A GF F

 

all love surround you

F G AGF E

 

and the pure light within you

G G G G A A F

 

guide your way on

G G H C

 

Sat Nam

G E

 

By the way: The song is 40 years old now and was originated by Mike

Heron/Incredible String Band on the album " The hangmans beautiful

daughter " . I have written an article about the story of the song.

Anybody interested may contact me via: mail " at " wittstamm.de

A long, long time ago a songbook was published with some of the "3HO standards" - Khalsa String Band songs primarily. I don't know if this book is still in print or available but Ancient Healing Ways might know about it. Of course, the newer songs would not be in that book. Also, Harbhajan Kaur from Millis put together words and chords to some songs and chants but there is no musical notation, so you'd have to be familiar with the melody in order to play them.

Would you mind posting the article? I would like to hear the story

and I am sure others would also.

There are 2 Sat Nam’s in there also.

The original song by Livtar Singh

And the pure light within you guide

your way on

 

The original words were “Our loving

prayers…” I believe Hari Bhajan Kaur added “All our loving

prayers…” in her beautiful recording of it. Guru Ganesha Singh sets

up a repeating D G A rhythm all the way through Longtime sun that

gives it a little more drive.-

 

As with all songs, these will morph and

change over time but it’s nice to know the originals. If anyone wants the

sheet music to the Birthday Song, I’ll be happy to email it to you. I

replied to one post with an attachment but am not sure if it came through.

Email me at akhalsa
