1. Prayer to Shamballa: (From Agni Yoga writings)
Voice and piano

This prayer is directed to the Lord of the Word. Shamballa is the Father’s Home.

O Though who called me to the path of Labor
Accept my ableness and my desire.
Accept my labor, O Lord,
Because by day and by night
Thou beholdest me.
Manifest Thy hand, O Lord,
Because great is darkness
I follow thee!.

2. Jemberim
Piano

Eight-year old Torkom is pushing an iron ring, two feet in diameter, with a fork-like stick. He is chasing it along roads surrounded by huge flowering trees. The ring starts to hit rocks and bumps on the road and eventually goes out of his control down the hill. He runs after it, but the ring disappears into a lake.

3. Kalagiya
Voice and piano 

Kalagiya means to come home. Home is “the center where the Will of God is known.” This poem is taken from one of Torkom’s books entitled, The Legend of Shamballa.

Kalagiya! Come to Shamballa.
At this time there are many who
are on the road to Shamballa.
Those who strive
for unity of mankind,
Those who do not exploit
other beings, but serve and sacrifice,
Those who adore
each flame
in every heart,
Those who do not
any more have the
interest to possess,
to enslave,
Those who are not anymore
burdened by the vanity
of their race, nation
and religion,
but are open to the values
of mankind,
to the interests of one humanity,
They are on the road
to Shamballa.

4. My Dream
Guitar

I am dreaming of a lake. On the lake is a boat in which I am sitting and watching the sunset.  All is quiet and serene;  my thoughts and my dreams keep running in my mind and playing in my heart.

Piano

The stars are coming out from the nebulae and gaining momentum in their movements. Many millions of stars are trying to adjust and align their movements to each other. All stars, from visible to invisible galaxies, are synchronizing their Cosmic Dance in the Infinite Space.

6. Dance of Devas
Piano

I am in the forest watching fiery beings playing and dancing around the trees and flowers. Thousands of them, in separate groups and as a whole, are dancing mysterious dances, radiating color, rhythm and bliss.  I am in awe and deep attention.

Voice and piano
 

Mantram from the Upanishads:

More radiant than the sun,
purer than the snow,
subtler than the ether

The spirit within my heart;

9. The Great Invocation
Voice and guitar

From the point of Light
within the Mind of God
Let Light stream forth
into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love
within the heart of God
Let Love stream forth
into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the center
where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little will of men
The purpose which
the Masters know and serve.

From the center which
we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power
restore the Plan on Earth.
