	AASHEERVAD Recording of “Aum Shree Arka Maha Ganapathaye Namaha” in 21 raagas. This mantra appears to be repetitive, but it is done with the purpose of helping us develop stability in the mind. It also helps us to gain the benefits of one specific sound energy which is sung in 21 varieties. Varied expressions can have the same content and helps one to develop patience and become tuned into a specific thought, sound or meaning.
	SING & DANCE "Just as the snake slithers, the lion roars, the nightingale sings and the peacock dances, human beings should express their emotions"
	DISCIPLINE OF NATURE An extract of the live recording from the CD “If you want to accomplish everything, it’s not going to happen. We can only aim at one objective at a time. We can only concentrate upon one entity, one item at a time. That is the discipline of nature..”
	The Human Body An extract of the live recording from the CD “Inner space is equally powerful as the outside space and universes. Humans seem to exist in the centre. That is between the microcosm and macrocosm. Humans can descend either deep into the subatomic particles or soar above the galaxies and reach the cosmos elsewhere.”
	ARKA DHYANA - DVD “There is a super sensor, a deep seated self, beneath everything we feel, think and talk about. This embodies the impenetrable formulas, codes and secrets of nature and the universe, just as genes in the body carry information about our ancestors.” “We need spiritual inspiration and deeper insights, on how to steer humanity and to what destinations; and the strength and empowering motivation to act on the required changes. It is a 21st century emergency. It is time to focus less on the intellectual mind and direct more of our energies in exploring the inner realms of our consciousness, to develop the intuitive nature of higher awareness, through alternative spiritual means. Meditation is at the heart of the metaphysical education, with which we can evolve to a greater understanding of the workings of higher nature and the universe outside us and feel content within; through experiencing our inner space, our micro-universe, inner nature an consciousness. As a consequence we can achieve improved health, joy, wisdom and enlightenment. When embarked upon, such a meditative inner voyage will be adventurous yet graceful- a process called Dhyana. This DVD is a invitation for all to experience Arka Dhyana.”
	TIMELESS MEMORIES In the stream of time, relics, monuments, history and the memories of today will all be washed away while rising to the future. Somewhere this stream of time will circle back with some changes again for us to re-experience life in mystical ways. Instrumental music composed in meditative silence by Srinivas Arka

FOR SOUND HEALTH Raga Therapy Series - Volume 1 and 2 Instrumental music The concept of using music therapy and its healing aspects in the health and behaviour of living beings has been known and practised from ancient times. The positive effect of music on plants, animals and human beings has been studied and highlighted over many years and is still being researched and applied today. The therapeutic aspect of music is that it can be used to assist and enhance the healing process with respect to many physical and mental ailments. Music interacts with our body in the form of sound vibrations.
Click on the picture for a sample	SAAROOGOVAUM Saaroogovaum is not a word from any language. It is a sound and rhythm that Srinivas Arka experienced while he was walking through the woods one morning, just before sunrise. When he shared Saaroogovaum with his audience, at a talk he gave that evening, several of them said that the experience was beautiful and elevating. Srinivas Arka often begins and ends his public talks with this mystical sound. In order to deeply feel the benefits of its effects, one has to master the frequencies of its utterance and its correct pronunciation. We hope that this unique recording will be welcomed by the many people who have requested it, and also by those who will now experience Saaroogovaum for the first time.

The music is a merging of emotions. Expression becomes the expression of your heart. The mind becomes the spectator. The heart begins to dance, not needing any orchestra or audience.

A compelling rhythm of joy with subtle tonalities of heart longing attunes the listener to the joy and innocence within- always waiting for our awareness behind the mundane surface existence.

When we become consciously aware of gestures we can become in tune with everything that surrounds us. Touching with conscious awareness is not simply touching the body, but also touching the elements in nature. Gestures are direct expressions of the heart, when we let our heart speak, our hands move spontaneously or naturally making certain gestures. Through the use of gestures we can become more united with ourselves and thus be able to experience unity, harmony or oneness within. This unity allows us to become more receptive to higher guidance, that may come into every individual at sometime in life.

One evening he surprised his friends and students with this talk which is in itself like a poem, with the recurring, deceivingly simple theme - sit, sit, sit. Yet, it is one of the most profound themes since many don't realize that the greatest barrier for knowing our true inner selves and entering higher levels of consciousness is noise and movement. This, temporarily and effectively, shuts off that spiritual awareness of our existence and purpose, when by just practising quietude, silencing our physical body and the habitual chattering mind, we allow a shift to occur in our consciousness. Thus an inner receptive space is created into which insights and truths previously unknown to us may appear. Srinivas Arka seems to tell us, hinting beyond its simplicity, the strong urgency of this gesture - a condition essential to open the door for higher inspiration.
Click on the picture for a sample	THE ONENESS WITHIN Live recording - Canada - October 1996 This talk was given by Srinivas Arka at a gathering in 1996, immediately after a deep state of Dhyana. The sound of his voice conveys the depth of his spiritual message in which he touches a fundamental truth- the fact that no emerging into a higher state of consciousness and being ever involves one body alone. No passing on and up into a higher state of consciousness ever takes place unless an alignment is achieved between the various forms of our existence- the physical, emotional, mental bodies and our inner conscious spirit. Then the word 'oneness' stops being a vague, abstract term and becomes a fact of our being with the help of which one expands in an ever widening awareness. To help us achieve this otherwise laborious task, Srinivas Arka came with the gift of a mystic sound, SAAROOGOVAUM, with which he often begins and ends his open audiences and talks. When uttered consciously and collectively, this sound brings different states of deepened awareness to different individuals. This includes a calming effect, alleviating of bodily discomfort, a feeling of oneness and different states of expanded and elevated consciousness. PURE CONSCIOUSNESS Live recording - Canada - October 1998 This is a talk given by Srinivas Arka. It speaks about the journey of consciousness which, from its pure state, steps into the tangible form to gain life experiences, using mind and memory as instruments to move in time. With the essence of these memories converted into subtle forms of impression, our consciousness moves into higher or different planes of existence- from the differentiation of the surface-consciousness to the oneness of depth-consciousness.
