[In the name of Allah,
who is mercy and compassion
There is no reality but God]
Gila River Zikr

["Hu" is the seed sound of Allah, the innermost essence of God.
The second line phrases are exalting in the
glory of the divine]
Limitless Love
Limitless undying love which shines
Around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on
Across the Universe
La Ilaha il allahu
Ishq allah maboud Allah
[We took the final verse of John Lennon's song
"Across the Universe" as the essence of the Sufi message of Limitless Love, then substituted the zikr phrases]
Sat Narayan
Sat narayan wahe guru
hari narayan sat nam
[This mantra is chanted to create inner peace so one can project outer peace, happiness, and good fortune. Narayan is the aspect of Infinity that relates to the water element. This mantra helps you “go with the flow” and takes you beyond the world to the experience of Infinity
Sat Narayan= True Sustainer.
Wahe Guru = Indescribable Wisdom.

The second phrase is the injunction to "Create Peace" or "Be Peace"]

This mantra is recited 21,000 times to eradicate disease, evil spirits, and other types of disturbances. The second phrase consists of two of Hanuman's names, chanted in thanks and praise to the great Monkey God, devotee of Rama and Sita]

Lyrics and Mantras from Devotion 1
Miracle Mantra

Desert Zikr
Hu allahu allahu
La ilaha il-allah la ilaha il-allahu
La ilaha il-allah la ilaha il-allahu
Il allahu il allahu il allahu
Darkness and Light
In silence the word, in darkness light
In dying, life....
Bright the hawk's flight
On the empty skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
La ilaha ilallah
[The English words are paraphrased from Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea Series. They express a basic Taoist principle: polar opposites are just two parts of one whole, each requiring the other. Duality is an illusion that our minds cling to. If we transcend that basic mind conditioning, we can know our true selves, and soar.]
Om Apa-damapa
Om Apa-damapa Hataram Dataram
Sarva Sampadam Loka Bhi Ramam
Sri Ramam Bhuyo Bhuyo Namam-yaham
[trans.: Om, O most compassionate Rama.
Please send your healing energy right here to the Earth, to the Earth. Salutations.]
This lengthy mantra is considered one of the most powerful healing mantras.
Beauty Zikr
There is beauty in front of me
And beauty behind me
There is beauty above me
And there's beauty below
Beauty within me
Beauty all around me
I'm surrounded in beauty
I'm surrounded in love
La ilaha il-allah la ilaha il-allah
Om Sri Rama
Om Sri Rama Jaya Rama
Jaya Jaya Rama
[trans: Om to Rama, victory to Rama, victory, victory again to Rama]
This is called the "Taraka Mantra" meaning "that which takes one across" the ocean of rebirth. Mahatma Gandhi chanted this mantra daily for his entire life. We have always felt this mantra as an aid to spiritual courage.
Zikr For George
Ishq allah maboudlillah
La ilaha il-allah
This zikr is based on George Harrison's heart-breakingly beautiful song, "Isn't it a Pity." We have always loved the song, but in learning it were feeling the utter despair related in his lyrics. So we decided to create an answer, or remedy, for George--and all who find themselves in moments or lifetimes of hopelessness and despair.
The words of the zikr state:
"God is Love, Lover, and Beloved
There is nothing that is not Love"
Lyrics from our first album,
"Honey in the Heart"
SunShine
The Sun is Father
Father is Sun
The Sun is Father
Father is Sun
Oh Let the Sun shine down on my soul
Freedom to be who you are, be
Oh let the Sun shine down on my soul
Give strength to be who you are be
Be who you are be who you are
Be who you are, be
SHINE!
The Sun is shining, be free be free
The Sun is shining, be free be free
The Sun is shining, be free be free
The Sun is shining, Sun is shining on me
Be free, be free

Spirit Home
And the Ocean, she called our names
We stood in starlight
And we sang
And the Spirit lies within me
And the Spirit flies with me
To the Sea
The shining waters where we swim
Awaken our senses
Transform all we dream
When we dive in
And the Spirit lies within me
And the Spirit flies with me
To the Sea

The Doorway
There is a Doorway
Into your inner mind
A Doorway, a mirrored Doorway
A mirror for you to seek and to find
And if you go there
Then bring a candle
A candle that's lit from your inner flame
That glows inside your heart
And fall into the love you are
Dance, release into the stars
And soar through the open air
And just breathe
Life is a dance
A dance of mirrors
So dance into your inner mirror
And let you carefree spirit thrive
And fall into the love you are
Dance, release into the stars
And soar through the open air
And just breathe

Strong Wind
(Written by Brian Cutean)
Come and take a deep breath of the night
While the world is just right
See behind the color to the light
Without using sight
You've been spinning like a dancer in the sand
Never taking a stand
That's like listening to the creaking of the floor
Or the ticking of the hand
And there's a Strong Wind
With a hundred appetites
If you listen you'll hear it in the night
If you listen
Seems like everybody's waiting for the word
While their own thoughts go unheard
And along with all the anger and the fear
Tears disappear
All we know is who we've ever been
Time and again
Well I'm telling you time don't matter my friend
When your heart's in the wind
And there's a Strong Wind
And a hundred appetites
If you listen you'll hear it in the night
If you listen
You can see, yeah you can see
If you listen
So sing out another song of what you see
And be what you will be
Give a listen to the water wind and wood
And do your neighbor some good
I know there's nothing like standing all alone
Asking to be shown the Unknown
But if you're thinking that your life has been paralyzed
I can see dancing in your eyes
Dancing to a Strong Wind
And a hundred appetites
If you listen you can hear it in the night
If you listen
You can see, yeah you can see
If you listen you'll hear it in the night
There's a Strong Wind
with a hundred appetites
If you listen...

Who Knows Where the Time Goes?
(Written by Sandy Denny)
Across the Evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It's time for them to go
Before the winter's fire
I must still be dreaming
I have no thought of Time
For who knows where the time goes
And who knows where the time goes
A sad deserted shore
Your fickle friends are leaving
Ah and yet they know
It's time for them to go
But I will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes
And who knows where the time goes
And I am not alone
While my love is near
And I know it will be so
Until it's time to go
So count the storms of Winter
And then the birds in Spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows
And who knows where the time goes?

Rivendell
(Written by Geddy Lee and Neil Peart)
Sunlight dances through the leaves
Soft wind strs the sighing trees
Lying in the warm grass
Feel the sun upon your face
Elven songs and endless nights
Sweet wine, soft relaxing lights
Time will never touch you
Here in this enchanted place
I've traveled now for many miles
It feels so good to see the smiles
Of friends who never left your mind
When you were far away
From the golden light of coming dawn
Til the twilight when the sun is gone
We treasure every season
And every passing day
You feel something calling you
You're wanting to return
Where the misty mountains rise
And the friendly fires burn
A place you can escape the world
Where the Dark Lord cannot go
Peace of mind and sanctuary
By Loudwater's flow
I feel the coming of a new day
Darkness gives way to light a new way
Stop here for awhile until the world
The world calls you away
Yet you know I have the feeling
Standing with my senses reeling
This the place to grow old
Til I reach my final day
You feel something calling you
You're wanting to return
Where the misty mountains rise
And the friendly fires burn
A place you can escape the world
Where the Dark Lord cannot go
Peace of mind and sanctuary
By Loudwater's flow

Love Will Show You the Way
Love'll show you the way
Love'll show you the way
Love'll show you the way

Remember that day
That day that we played
That day in the rain
We got lost...and then found
Wheel in the sky
Cycles of life
Weaving a path
For the heart to follow
Saw the great ones nest
Saw their mating dance
Albatross in your heart
Spread your wings and fly
Your radiance shines
Shines on all you see
Shines on all the land
And community

Starwater
Starwater flowing flowing flowing
We are the seeds growing growing
The flowers are singing
The bees are dreaming
and the trees are being their own selves
The flowers are ringing
and the bees are singing
and the Earth is dreaming her own self
Come fly
Be the wind
Dance with me
For we are free
I am the fire....With my desire
I flower flower flower
I flower for the bees
Starwater of creation
Flows through the Garden of Life
Watering seeds, help them to grow
Light source within, help it to flow
Starwater flowing flowing flowing
We are the seeds growing growing

Magic
You said you wanted to see magic
Well magic is...all around you
Just Look into a leaf or a flower
The Infinite Being what you see
Among the trees of the Immanent Forest
The Leaves are dark
But there's a light that shines...
Coherent hearts can see
Invisible Worlds
And can feel them too
Feel into what's real
And magic...is all around you
It'll help you heal--help us heal
If you open the doors of perception
Re-train your heart, entrain your heart
to the World's
A Healer's Heart, and a dolphin song
You've got to be able to leave your mind
A Healer's heart, and a dolphin song
You've got to be able to leave your
Mind, yes, leave your mind behind

Pueo
There's a heliotrope turning in the tropical sun
and a sunflower filled with wonder
My mind dazzled by the radiant view
And bees bless the trees all around
There are rivers in my body
And mountains in my mind
I am one...with the sea
Tree flower bird sun sky...
All one
There's a messenger by the side of the road
He's a white-faced owl....
Pueo
"There is no separation" he says
"There is only Now"...
Pueo
There are rivers in my body
And mountains in my mind
I am one...with the sea
Tree flower birds sun sky
All one
So help us to remember
Help us to remember...
Help us remember the infinite One
Help us remember the Moon and the Sun
Help us remember the thunder 'n' waves
On the morning of this new spring day
Help us remember where we came from
Sunlight, starbright...a celebration
Help us remember the feeling.....
Help us remember who we are

Fall from on high like rain on the leaves

When all other lights go out"
Mallorn trees and nephrodil flowers
Mallorn trees and elinor flowers

Though the night must follow noon,
And already evening draweth nigh"
And Earendil's Star,
The light of Earendil's Star

Tree Girl
Delicate balance of a butterfly wing
Elder groves of the forest abide
Gift of the birdsong makes my heart sing
All are gifts that bring me to peace
Dawn's shining on the edge of the dew
Sounds of tide shifting the shore
Gift of the birdsong makes my heart sing
All are gifts that bring me to peace
Om Shanti
And when you need a friend you can count on me
Someone to hold you hand and simply let you be
I'll try to understand who you really are
I'll mirror to you your love and your beauty
