Journey to new devotion
What is seen by one section of people is seen differently by another, according to their own nature. However, by the willpower alone of the Infinite, He can reveal Himself to any person. This is why He is called infinite. Such great potency of such high quality is in the Prime Cause, the Organic Whole. He is here, He is also everywhere. With His full representation He is everywhere; yet He is nowhere. He is the Mystery of all mysteries. Everything is one with Him in quality and different from Him in quantity simultaneously. The Center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere. There is a Center, and all function in connection with Him, and are all harmonized together.

Every living soul is the knower, the feeler, the subjective existence, and the energetic aspect is that of the force, this material world. So, there is force and consciousness. We are so much engrossed with force; we only require the force, the energy of the matrix, and we have forgotten that we are the living feeler of that force. That feeler is astonishing; if we try to understand our own self, we will be dumfounded: “Oh, what is this? I am of such divine living nature! I have nothing to do with this world of mortality; I can live independently of the mortal world? Is it so? Yes. Om. Om means yes.

Then we will be able to understand further, that there is Supersoul. In the objective world there are so many different material planes. Everything is evolving from a more subtle plane down to gross things. So, in the subjective world there is also development, but upwards, from the soul to Supersoul, to Super-Supersoul; in this way there is development and it is infinite. And if we want to have association with that infinite world, we are told that in the highest position there is infinite beauty, infinite love and infinite ecstasy. That world can come down to us, and we can be taken in as one of the Infinite Being’s own family members. We can live as a family member with the Highest Entity of that infinite world. It is possible but only through affection, devotion, and not by analytic knowledge or any mystic gymnastics. By affection and love we can attract Him, the Personality of Supreme Attraction, the Supreme Enchanter, in such a way that we can be given recognition as a family member of the Sweet Absolute, a position very near to Him, the Infinite.

Tato mâm tattvato jnâtva visate tad anantaram (Bhagavad-Gitâ, 18,55)
“After realizing My transcendental position, the souls enter there; that is, into My own special jurisdiction, into My transcendental family”

Mamâtma-bhûyâya ca kalpate vai (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 11.29.34)
“They get such high recognition which qualifies them to live with Me eternally, as My own. If they selflessly come forward to satisfy Me, leaving aside everything, if they want Me alone and nothing else, then such is their future prospect”

My own, any living souls can become My own. What is the meaning of “own”? The Sweet Absolute, Reality the Beautiful, He says it means to enter into His family; and “family” means there is gradation: the servant, the friends and their associates, the filial affection group; the guardian group; and then the highest group, that of consorthood, Radha-Krishna, the Divine Feminine Nature dancing with Her Original Lover, the Divine Couple.

Bhakti-Yoga, the yoga of eternal love is a transaction of the heart, not of any religious formality. Love is wonderfully above everything, surpassing all. The ancient masters of ultimate consciousness asked us to accept the path of love, which means giving one’s heart, one’s self. Die to live. It is so powerful, nothing else can attract the Original Lover. He is greedy to feel our inner love, this prema. He lives on prema, unconditioned spontaneous ecstatic love. Krishna is the Lover of love and Radha is the absolute master of that love. They are One. That love has its inner existence; it is the inner existence of all of us. The Divine Couple is Love personified, and there is a tinge within us also. Love likes love. Love attracts love. (inspired from the words of Swâmi B R Srîdhara, the Guardian of Devotion).

NEW DEVOTION, un antidote sonore à l’angoisse du monde actuel.

Au-delà des effets musico-thérapeutiques bénéfiques du choix des sonorités et des tempos, l’album cherche surtout à provoquer chez l’auditeur un relâchement des tensions psychologiques en transmettant une fréquence qui se situe au niveau du lâcher-prise : libération du temps, de l’espace, voire des soucis et des anxiétés reliés à la personnalité du « je » et du « mien ».

Le style de l’album propose une heure de « chaise longue intemporelle ». Cette intention se retrouve dans le ton de la voix ainsi que dans la motivation intentionnelle de la vibration générale qui s’en dégage. Selon la sensibilité de chacun, cela devrait provoquer chez la plupart des auditeurs une sorte de soulagement intérieur dû au relâchement du « nœud du cœur ». La fermeture cadenassée du cœur est le plus souvent liée à nos préjugés et à nos identifications, deux éléments plus ou moins toxiques qui facilitent la formation du blocage mental, la crispation de l’intellect en provoquant la suppression de notre conscience intuitive extraneuronale.

On sait que la personne humaine est souvent conditionnée par toutes sortes d’idées préconçues sur elle-même et sur le monde qui l’entoure; ces fausses croyances sont parfois si profondément ancrées dans nos mentalités qu’elles en deviennent comme des secondes natures dont nous n’avons pas nécessairement conscience, mais qui nous dirigent à notre insu. Nous perdons ainsi notre souveraineté d’âme. Cette perte d’autonomie spirituelle génère en nous un insaisissable et profond malaise. On se sent mal sans même savoir pourquoi.

Les compositions de l’album New Devotion proposent donc un outil sonore, musical, qui aiderait à dissoudre la pétrification de nos réductions mentales en nous offrant un sentiment de liberté nouvelle. Par le biais des énergies transcendantes contenues dans les fréquences d’anciens mantras védiques dédiés exclusivement aux guérisons de l’âme humaine, le but de l’album est avant tout de libérer le cœur, de l’apaiser mais sans l’endormir, de le réconforter mais sans l’affaiblir, d’atténuer ses crispations en lui transmettant des images sonores de compassion universelle.

Le message vibratoire des versets sanscrits qui sont chantés dans cet enregistrement ont pour première fonction de consoler nos chagrins secrets, de minimiser nos peurs, de cicatriser nos vieux ressentiments, de soigner d’anciennes blessures non guéries, ainsi que tout ce qui peut encore traîner au fond de nous et rendre notre existence terne et sombre.
Les vibrations sonores spirituelles des Saints Noms qui sont intégrés dans la fréquence de l’album permettent d’assister l’auditeur dans sa quête intérieure et de mettre du baume à son âme, en d’autres mots de panser ses plaies intérieures.
Ce service m’aide de plus en plus, c’est évident, à travailler en même temps sur la guérison de mes propres blocages, de mes propres blessures, afin de libérer le plus possible l’amour immatériel latent à l’intérieur de chacun de nous.

Prahladji Patrick Bernard.
