\n Phantom of the Ashram <\/strong>
\n Lyrics by Kalakantha Das
\n A 2022 Krishna House Production
\nBhaktin:
\nIn sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
\nThat voice that speaks to me, and calls my name
\nI\u2019m chanting japa now, and still I find
\nThe phantom of the ashram is there \u2026 it is my mind.
\nPhantom:
\nYou\u2019re chanting every day, what\u2019s the result?
\nYour friends and family say you\u2019re in a cult
\nThese regulations make you confined
\nThe phantom of the ashram is me! I am your mind.
\nBhaktin:
\nMy dear mind, please lower your defenses, Sit down, calm down, pacify the senses,
\nThough you\u2019re just a rookie, here\u2019s a little cookie, just relax and take some nice Prasad
\nAnd I\u2019ll tell you nine ways to come to God.
\nHearing, chanting, memorizing, praying, Arati, service, pleasing, and befriending,
\nGiving God your all \u2013 these will help you to recall your eternal, blissful dance with the Supreme
\nAnd all this just one block from Krispy Kreme!
\nLet our soul start its journey in this strange new world
\nPurge all thoughts of the life we led before
\nClose your eyes, chant and dance in ecstasy
\nOnly then is your Krishna lunch for free!
\nTogether:
\nHare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
\nKrishna, Krishna, Hare Hare,
\nHare Rama Hare
\nRama Rama Rama
\nHare Hare
\nBhaktin:
\nThus devotion grows …
\nPhantom:
\nHey, is that salad dressing on your nose? HA HA! HA HA!
\n
