2c1 GOD: Generous Omniscient Divinity
Video Adjunct:
In this three-minute interview clip, Peace Pilgrim offers a personal and universal answer to the question, "What is your concept of God?"
Video Adjunct:
Sometimes God is also worshipped as the Goddess, the Divine Mother. In this music video, Swami Nirvanananda sings a personal ode of love to the Divine Mother, whom he calls, "Maa." When I first heard Nirvanananda sing this song during one of his concerts, the devotion struck my heart, and brought forth an inner vision of many forms of Divine Mother from various traditions through the ages. And so, I produced and edited this video to capture and share that vision with you. "In the morning when I rise, give me Maa."

Video Adjunct:
This one-minute clip of an ancient Indian yajna ceremony is a colorful example of one great thing about today -- the ability for someone born in midwest USA to find her way right into the middle of a powerful ceremony from such a different culture and time. Around halfway through, you may see a familiar face :)
