Honoring the One Who Needs No Praise 

By Gurudevi Nirmalananda 

Enjoy these joyful songs of praise, dedicated to the one who needs no praise. They honor the Gurus of my lineage, Baba Muktananda and Bhagavan Nityananda.  

We usually do a candle flame ceremony when chanting them. Yet you can chant them or listen to them anytime, with or without waving the light.  

Jyota se Jyota — Light my Inner Flame 

Gurudeva Hamara Pyara — Our Beloved Guru 

I made these recordings several years ago, specifically for us to use in Ashram programs. People hearing them and chanting along have been asking if they could get them somewhere. And now you can! 

The title comes from Shree Guru Gita, intro verse 2: 

Nana-vidhani chanda.msi 

srii-guru-paramatma devata. 

Verses with diff’rent melodies 

honor the One who needs no praise

Satguru, the Supreme Self is 

the Divine One being honored.

Hear me chanting this verse in Sanskrit and the commentary on it in my Guru Gita Podcast

And fill your heart with joy by buying these splendid songs of praise!  They will fill your day with light when you play them.
