Today’s Inner Renewal Week class was on “The Inward Path to Self-Realization: the Meditative Arts & Discipleship” and we were guided to start out with the perfect song: In the Temple of Isis. Jyotish even referred to the lyrics in connection with the need for stillness in order to meditate.
Isis is the Mother aspect of God in the ancient Egyptian religion; Swami Kriyananda wrote the song after meditating at the Temple of Isis, in Aswan. Below are the lyrics and also a recording of this inspiring song.
Still your mind if you want to pray.
Send all cares faraway.
Sing, then: Love’s ever near:
Isis comes, await the day.
Isis comes: await the day!
Mother comes: await the day!Still your heart if you want to pray.
Send all cares faraway.
Sing, then: Love’s ever near:
Isis comes, await the day.
Isis comes: await the day!
Mother comes: await the day!Still your soul if you want to pray.
by Swami Kriyananda
Isis comes, await the day.
Isis comes: await the day!
Mother comes: await the day!
