Divine Bliss

A spiritual tale from India tells of a doll made of salt who was in search of God. The doll fulfills his quest by jumping into the ocean—completely dissolving himself into the love of the divine. This demonstrates the attitude of supreme surrender—where the devotee of God is immersed in an ocean of divine bliss. On Divine Bliss, a female master of devotional chant in the Indian tradition, Shri Anandi Ma (Mother of Divine Bliss), offers up nine ecstatic songs of praise. Considered a living saint in the land of her birth, Shri Anandi Ma sings in a voice soaked with reverence for the sacred nature of all life. With a gentle accompaniment by harmonium, tamboura, and traditional percussion, Divine Bliss lifts listeners up on waves of song, and allows them to taste the peace and healing that are the hallmarks of true spirituality.
