The Shree Guru Gita
The Shree Guru Gita
Sung by Kumuda (Sharon Janis)
Sri Guru Gita, or "Song of the Guru," is an hour-long, ancient, gentle yet powerful Sanskrit chant from India that evokes peace of mind and heart, describing and honoring the Universal Power of Grace called Guru, and the beautiful forms through which that power flows. This rendition of Gurugita captures and invokes the deep gratitude one experiences from being blessed by divine forms of the Universal Guru.

Kumuda, also known as Sharon Janis, became very familiar with the syllables and sentiments of this chanting prayer during her decade of monastic life in the Siddha Yoga ashram of Baba Muktananda and Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. Early every morning, the ashram residents and guests chanted this text as the main ingredient in a daily, hour-and-a-half devotional chanting session.
You can read about Sharon's experience of being a musician and chanter of this text early every morning in Chapter 14: "Winter Wonderland," of her memoir, Never to Return: A Modern Quest for Eternal Truth.
