Amba Bhavani

from FIVE by Shantala

/

about

A chant honoring the Divine Feminine in a traditional 7-beat rhythm cycle, this piece brings in some of our favorite chorus singers, two members of Benjy’s “other band” The Hanumen, (Gaura Vani and Visvambhar Sheth) and the great Alam Khan (son of renowned master musician Ali Akbar Khan) featured on sarode.

lyrics

Ambā Bhavānī, Jaya Jagadambe Bhavānī
Jaya Jagadambe! Jaya Jagadambe!
Mātā Bhavānī, Mātā Ambe
Jaya Jagadambe! Jaya Jaya Jagadambe!

Translation:
Mother Goddess Bhavānī, Giver of Life
Praise to the Mother of the Universe!
Mother Bhavānī, Mother Ambā
Praise and victory to the Mother of the Universe!
