*Divine Mother ~Alice Coltrane Sings


 










Turiya Sings




Spirituality

John Coltrane was Alice's spiritual mentor but she had already been a large proponent of religion and its influence in music, and it seemed that John’s death only amplified these ideas for her when she decided to become a solo recording artist. She spent much of her time in isolation - praying, fasting, meditating - to seek a spiritual truth. It was during this time that Alice met her guru, traveled to India, and dedicated herself to God.

John and Alice Coltrane

Swamini Turiyasangitananda (Alice Coltrane) has traveled the path of spiritual re-awakening along the terrain of sacrifice, surrender, and joyful obedience to reach the summit of spirituality known as God-realization. Today her spiritual legacy stands alongside ancient saints and sages who boldly renounced the lower nature, false illusions, and personal ambitions.

Swamini Turiyasangitananda received the rare bestowal of God's prema, or divine love along with the invitation to service. Moreover, as a selfless servitor of God's people, Swamini's loving ministry of healing, teaching, and transmitting devotional music from the higher spheres uplifts the human spirit to the transcendent realm of inner peace, light, and universal love.

In January 2007, Alice Coltrane ascended to the spirit side of life. Her entire life exemplified that the true purpose of human life is to cultivate devotion for God. She taught that all of humanity is a divine radiation from the One Supreme Lord. Like other ascended sages, Swamini's eternally liberated spirit lives on in the hearts and lives of those that she edified, uplifted, and guided to higher levels of enlightenment.

*In our world today there are many 'divine mothers' across and throughout many cultures and spiritual traditions including in the West. Some are known simply as 'sacred women' while others are seemingly ordinary women unrecognized except by those they choose to reveal themselves to. They may appear as bartenders, nurses, professional women, massage therapists, tantric women, sex workers, singers & musicians, yogis or erotic models.

Gallery: Gourd Art and Creativity

Image
Gourds have a long rich history, with evidence suggesting that they are among the oldest cultivated plants, used by humans for thousands of years as containers, utensils, musical instruments and in sacred rituals and religious rites . The cultivation of gourds dates back to before 13,000 BCE, indicating their very early domestication. Gourds were particularly useful for early human societies before the advent of pottery and settled village life, making them part of the human family from very ancient times.
