The first time I heard this joy-filled chant was around 1990 in London’s Heathrow Airport, when Gurumayi had a few hours’ stopover on her way from Gurudev Siddha Peeth in India to Shree Muktananda Ashram in New York. We had rented a restaurant in the terminal for the morning, and Siddha Yogis had flown in from all over Europe to be a part of this reunion between the Guru and her disciples.
The love and ecstasy were palpable and, as we we started chanting
Jay Jay Muktananda, our hearts were full to overflowing. The airport restaurant had become a sacred temple and we all just wanted time to stop right then and there. Of course, the time came when Gurumayi had to leave to catch her flight. But even after she had left, none of us wanted to leave. We wanted this moment to last forever—and it does, as the sweetest and most sacred memory. Needless to say, I have loved this chant ever since!

I have the sweetest memories of this chant going back to my childhood, when I heard Gurumayi sing this chant live during a chanting
saptah. It evokes in me immense joy, and feelings of love and gratitude toward Baba.

This absolutely enchanting
namasankirtana transports me back in time to Gurudev Siddha Peeth, where I first heard this chant. My heart jumps with joy in listening to
Jay Jay Muktananda!
I am so grateful to Gurumayi for giving us the grace of having God´s presence in our daily lives through her memorable words, sweet teachings, and delightful chants!

This
namasankirtana brings such joy to my heart. My whole being smiles with happiness and gratitude to Baba. And, while I have this chant on a CD, I love to listen to it on the Siddha Yoga path website, because I feel I'm in
satsang with others who will be listening at the same time.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for the gifts you give us each day via the website.
