Gnostic Christian Psalms Discovered! The Book of the Odes + How the Odes Became a Lost Book of the Bible - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

It's as-if those who composed the Gospel of John decided to create a hymnbook. This is about the little-known discovery of a collection of early Christian psalms called, The Book of the Odes, written in Syriac-Aramaic, described by scholars as "some of the most beautiful songs of peace and joy that the world possesses." The Odes got mislabeled, misfiled, misunderstood, misplaced somewhere along the way becoming one of those Lost Books of the Bible. Time to explore this would-be book of New Testament psalms and that is finally gaining long overdue recognition and popularity in the 21st Century. This is one of two podcasts I've devoted to this inspiring collection of mystic-poems and music -- The Odes of Solomon -- once viewed as a sacred text by Jewish Christians, Syriac Eastern Christianity, various Gnostic movements -- it's quoted in Pistis Sophia -- and other early Christian writings.

Baba Somanath Discovers the Sant Mat Lineage Including the Poet-Saints - Light and Sound on The Path

 

Baba Somanath Discovers the Sant Mat Lineage Including the Poet-Saints

“Through the Satsangs of Hazur [Hazur Baba Sawan Singh], Baba Ji was now exposed to an expanded range of bhakti poets of the Sant Mat tradition. The lyrical poetry of several of them was already known to him — Kabir, Mira Bai and Namdev — but many were new, such as Guru Nanak and his Successors, Dadu Dayal, Swami Ji Maharaj of Agra, Paltu Sahib, Sehjo Bai, Ravidas and others. Having the poetic temperament himself, he was enchanted with the manner in which they presented the Teachings of the Saints in the form of their banis [hymns].” (new book: The Life of Baba Somanath, Saint and Sage of South India)

My Commentary: Right up to the living present, the Masters of traditional Sant Mat have always recommended everyone read the bhakti mystic poetry of the Sants, and even sing their bhajans (hymns). It makes for nice devotional readings for one’s daily satsang at home to read a poem or two from one of the Masters, and also helps with meditation practice. On the positive influence of satsang upon our meditations, Shahi Swami once said: “It requires air in the form of satsang to ignite the fire of meditation.”

At my e-library you'll find a vast amount of free online writings of many such Sant poet-mystics: Kabir (in the Kabir section), Adi Granth (Sikh Scriptures), Dadu Dayal, Tukaram, Mirabai (Classic Nirguna Bhakti Sants of India section), Dariya Sahib, Tulsi Sahib, Sar Bachan Poetry of Swami Ji Maharaj (Radhasoami section), and so much more (Gnostic, Christian mystics, vegetarian/vegan, Sant Mat History sections):

Baba Somanath also has composed many beautiful mystic poems and hymns:

“Ferrying me across the physical, astral

and causal realms,

Lead me into the region of Parbrahm.

In the spiritual pool of Mansarovar, in

the region of the Void,

Let me bathe in those purifying waters,

so that I may become immaculate and

whole.

“Giving me the support of the Dhun, the

True Shabd,

Transport my soul into the Great Void.

Drawing me upwards on the stream of

Sohang Shabd; reveal the vision of the

True Realm, Sat Lok,

Where divine strains of the veena fill

the air.”
