("Maitreya the Conqueror" by Nicholas Roerich)
I read the The Tibetan Book of the Dead twice. I started with a French translation, and then read the Robert A. F. Thurman version. My motivation at the time was to learn more about the death process and what comes after.
At the time, I was agreeably surprised to discover that the text, which is traditionally read to the dead and is intended to guide them through the experiences that the consciousness has during the interval between death and the nex

« Creeper » is an allegory wherein destructive mental processes are compared to creeping plants. The piece depicts four stages of a confrontation between creeper and host : introduction, growth, conquest, and extinction.
The audio clip presents the introduction and verses. As the lyrics suggest, the creeper really represents insidious suggestion, worry, negativity, or doubt, which are generally rooted in ignorance o

« Between Worlds » is a composition that started as a song entitled « Requiem » which was written in response to the deaths of my father and maternal grandmother, both due to cancer, at the beginning of the 1990s. Inspired by « The Tibetan Book of the Dead, » the piece eventually turned into a suite in five movements intended to present the successive stages of the death process as described in Tibetan culture.
The last section of « Between Worlds » is entitled «
« Into The Ashram » is the first chapter of the « Entering The Stream » trilogy, which also comprises « The Chrome Lake » and « Leaving The Ashram. »
The composition is intended to depict the progress of an individual getting fed up with their day to day life to the point of taking an extended time off for reflection and introspection.
The piece is an instrumental which counts the following four movements :
- The Ordinary
- Running Out Of Breath
- Dweller On The Threshold
- Jambudvipa
In the cosmology of Buddh
An ardent disciple of a Master having read many philosophical books, having heard so many of master’s speeches, having gone through much of spiritual literature got bewildered and was in search of ‘one statement’ from the Master that he can follow instead of so many myriads of ideas, concepts, ways and means.
So in search of this one statement he devoutly reaches the feet of the master and asks him:
‘Sir, I have read many. I have heard aplenty. Please teach me one thing that I should do so that it

« Questioning Tasteless Creepers » is one in a series of rehashes which come from reengineered ideas left over from other works. Other pieces of the band's repertoire, such as « Leftoverturned » and « Reinfused, » have also seen the light of day from that recycle/don't-throw-out-anything process.

The Lepufology Project started as an instrumental composition meant as a tribute to Robert Anton Wilson's book « Quantum Psychology » in which he coins the word lepufology to refer to the study of rabbit-related UFO encounters.
As the composition was intended from the onset to remain instrumental, I decided to write a basic synopsis, more a list of scenes actually, in order to give the piece direction and structure :

Importance of a Dickcha Sanskar from a Sadguru
The time is very fortunate to a person when he takes a Dickchha from a true Sadgurudev and it is said also that the actual birth takes place in a human life when he receives dickchha from asadgurudev and step ahead towards the sadhana according to the goal he has set in his life or received dickchha as per advised by his Sadgurudev. Since a common person does not know what chief goal in his life is and how to be a
successful person in his life. So hav

the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone
no part of the world
can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your
womb tonight.
The night
will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing,
the world was made
to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your alonenes
