Snatam Kaur - Anand

On Anand, layers of keyboard, harmonium, tabla, violin, sarod, bass and the dancing flute of Manose create an incredible landscape behind Snatam’s ethereal vocals. This album carries a message of profound bliss and joy.

Anand means bliss. But it is not just bliss in the way that we are used to. Anand is the state of bliss that comes when every word that you speak and action you take supports the light and journey of your soul. In the words of Yogi Bhajan, “Many people believe that the spiritual path is difficult and the neurotic path is easy….. It takes the same effort and energy to walk either path. The difficulty lies in the nature of the mind and how it grasps things and becomes entranced by feelings and sensations…. Direct the mind with immediate sensations and convoluted negotiations and we create neurosis and confusion. Direct it with the power of the Infinite word, words of truth, and we will excel with clarity, kindness, and love.” (The Mind, Its Projections and Multiple Facets, Yogi Bhajan, PhD).

“Anand is the state of bliss that comes when
every word that you speak and action you take
supports the light and journey of your soul.”
- Snatam Kaur
