Album Notes

Spirituality is a quiet inner quality that eclipses all boundaries of land, caste, profession, and religion, - and it manifests in many ways.

For those whose spirituality seeks an ever deepening personal peace, the music of the SOUL CALLS provides a peaceful, soothing vibrational environment for the heart and mind of the listener. For those who are actively engaged in the interior life of loving God, the lyrics of the SOUL CALLS affirm the longing for and the presence of the Divine Beloved.

Touching the heart of the peace-giver, the spiritual seeker and the devotee alike, the SOUL CALLS take the consciousness within ~ to the place of peace.

SOUL CALLS ONE ~ JOURNEY WITHIN is the first of a trilogy of CD’s recorded in Kolkata, India with world class Indian musicians. In these inspired songs, Saranya gives voice (in English) to the deepest yearning of the soul ~ union with the Divine Beloved.

JOURNEY WITHIN calls to many aspects of the Divine, but most soulfully to Divine Mother as it traces the soul’s journey within, entreating Her to come and lift the devotee out of the grasp of Maya, safely into Her arms of Love; the soul’s true home.

The first Soul Call affirms the peaceful presence of Divine Mother as the holy vibration of Om. In the second track the soul begins to awaken from it’s spiritual amnesia and longs for emancipation into the Light, Love, and secure unending Peace and Joy of God. In track three, the devotee affirms that with all sincerity and without end, the desire for contact with the Divine Beloved ~ God ~ will be the constant soul call.

Feeling the pangs of separation, in the fourth Soul Call the devotee appeals to Divine Mother to come soon and show Herself and to assure the devotee of Her ever-present protection. In track five the devotee explains the depth and breadth of the love and need the soul has for Her. In track six, the devotee-child asks the Mother to take the soul upon Her lap of omnipresent love and comfort it with enlightenment.

The Mother responds in track seven, with a lullaby reminding the child to be still and go within where She is ever waiting: “I’m here, My child; don’t fear, My child. I’m here inside with you….” Giving assurances of Her waiting, loving, protecting presence within, the Mother speaks to the devotee and tells Her soul-child to seek Her in the stillness within, through silent meditation and by loving Her.

In the last Soul Call, the journey within has changed the devotee’s life; glimmers of realization and spiritual experience prove to the devotee that to be Home at last, safe in the Divine Beloved, is the reachable goal and birthright of each soul.

Like Rumi, Kabir, Tagore and Mirabai, the SOUL CALLS speak deeply to God from the heart. Christian mystic Brother Lawrence called it Practicing the Presence of God. Mystics of all lands have told us about this intimate loving relationship with the Divine Beloved. The SOUL CALLS peacefully carry the consciousness within ~ and turn it Godward.
