The world feels so crazy and out of balance at the moment. It’s un-relentless and quite shocking and so I’ve been feeling for a while now to compile a collection of devotional offerings that inspires us to turn inwards to find sanctuary within. To facilitate a meditative state and a feeling of soft devotion.
This desire gave birth to the idea of this new project called ‘21 Offerings to the Goddess’ where I will release bhajans (devotional songs) in languages sung in the likes of Sanskrit, Marathi and Hindi and have partnered up with where you can start a meditative process of your own in a world and at a time where I feel we need it the most - to connect within ourselves to a higher cause, to be of service and to find a soft feeling of devotion and grace.
This first offering is Apni Panaha me (In Your Shelter). I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed rearranging this Bhajan.
All my love,
Nicki
