This meditation was Zoom’d on Sunday, June 21, 2020 at 12:15pm EDT. It features special guests Nandin (silver flute), Milind (bansuri), and Sudhananda (acoustic guitar and vocals for the celebration song). I wish to thank and acknowledge all the musicians for gracing this project with their inspired playing.
The meditation is one hour long. It is done with eyes closed. Sit comfortably and relax. The music, quotes from Osho, humming, and gaps of silence are there to support letting go into silence as deeply as possible. The stages are as follows:
1.bell to start
2. a short silence
3. the first music track
4. fifteen minutes of silent sitting
5. Osho quote in Hindi
6. a bell signals the Humming Stage(ten minutes) *this stage requires participation. Hum quietly to oneself with lips and teeth together.
7. fifteen minutes of silent sitting
8. Osho quote in English
9. the second music track
10. a short silence
11. three bells at the end
The celebration song, “Into Your Hands”, is inspired by a Pune l music group song by Anubhava a.k.a. Peter Makena. The video edited by Sudhananda can be listened to and viewed on the One Sky Music Youtube channel. Please visit https://youtu.be/R8BG50Ok9xE.

Beloveds Friends,
This year’s Europe and USA band events scheduled for July through October have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 uncertainty. Keeping in mind that “this too shall pass”, we will be watching how things unfold and re-access the situation later this year and see what is possible in 2021. So stay tuned! In the meantime, please enjoy Morning Satsang with One Sky Music. The next one is scheduled for Sunday, June 21 at 12:15 EDT.

As I ready my color palette and brushes for the blank canvas in front of me titled Year 2020, I want to wish everyone all the best for the adventure that lies ahead. Transitioning today’s milestone, I am reminded of a poem by the wandering Taoist monk, Han Shan:
I climb the road to Cold Mountain, the road to Cold Mountain that never ends.
The valleys are long and strewn with stones; the streams broad and banked with thick grass.
The moss is slippery, though no rain has fallen. Pines sigh, but it is not the wind.
Who can break from the snares of the world and sit with me among the white clouds?
A thousand clouds, ten thousand streams.
Here I live, an idle man,
Roaming green peaks by day,
Back to sleep by cliffs at night.
One by one, springs and autumns go,
Free of heat and dust, my mind.
Sweet to know there’s nothing I need,
Silent as the autumn river’s flood.
It is that time of the year again when Nature reminds us an essential truth: everything has its season. I love how Osho puts it, that the idea of death does not occur to the leaves because they are too busy LIVING their autumn! It is a colorful season for sure, a celebration of letting go.
“There is beauty in the leaves of autumn. But those leaves don’t know that they are dying. Those leaves don’t know that they are decadent. Those leaves are still living. They have no fear of death. Those leaves are living their autumn! They have lived their spring, now they are living their autumn. Those leaves have lived their life, now they are living their death. And there is a great difference. When you see autumn leaves, the idea of death arises in you, not in the leaves. The leaves are uncorrupted by any idea. They are in total suchness. Spring was good, so is autumn. And life was beautiful – those green days and the winds and the clouds, they were beautiful and so are these days. The leaves are drying and becoming pale and falling to the ground – and they are enjoying because they are going back to the source. It is from where they had come in the first place. They were born out of the earth, they played in the winds, they rose high in the sky, they had their day – now they are tired, now they want to be rejuvenated, they want to fall back into the womb. They are perfectly happy. There is no hitch, no complaint, no grudge; there is no fear, no apprehension.” Osho “Walk without Feet, Fly without Wings and Think without Mind, Chapter 8″
Five amazing weekends across America that included Mexico. Such a joy every step of the way! There were many photos this year and sharings on social media. For a more in-depth look, I invite you to browse our tour diary on www.facebook.com/oneskymusic. Many thanks to the One Sky Band which, for these events, included Prabodh, Rishi, and Tarisha along with special guests Ashik and Lee. And thank you to the organizers, their teams, and all the many heartful participants whose meditations and celebration touched the sky.

The Osho RISK Summer Festival (this year titled “Roots & Wings”) was in a word, amazing. I had a super band of musicians giving wings to the heart while a daily schedule of wonderful workshops kept roots watered and nourished. The festival reminds me of my childhood, playing in the ocean surf in the big waves tossing me here and there while I screamed in sheer delight. After seven days of festival bliss, I discovered myself washed up on the shore, the tide gone out but something forever changed inside. We were blessed to have the talented photographer, Saku Suutari (https://sakusuutariphotography.com/) and Om, who made the exquisite short film with his drone (https://youtu.be/PCf5vxYvHtg).
