Nepal Song
A New Music Release from Saul David Raye & The Atma Recording Project !
Featuring Jim Beckwith, Ben Leinbach, Calia Marshall, Chase Nichter, Ananda Yogiji, Marla Leigh Goldstein, David Watts, Manohar Gurung and more.
The song was inspired by the 2015 Nepal earthquake. It has an uplifting message of unity, and is a prayer for all sentient beings to live in freedom and peace. It is dedicated to the compassionate Spirit of the Nepali People. We recorded this last year while in Nepal.
Ways you can help
1) We are asking our yoga family and friends to buy this song on iTunes. All proceeds will go to charity. The more people who can buy the song, the more we can raise awareness and support the people in need. Link to buy on iTunes
2) Please share with your friends.
3) You can donate directly to Ramana’s Garden or One Heart Wordwide, two of my favorite charities.
4) If you would like to help us cover the costs of the song production and its video, which we are in the process of editing, please donate to our GoFundMe campaign. Some friends have already supported us, but many of the costs have been out of pocket. We are happy to have done it, but every little bit helps.

Nepal Song (May All Beings Be Free)
(Words and Music: Saul David Raye and Jim Beckwith)
When the heavens open and the earth shakes
All around you is fire
Heart of the world breaks open wide
Wake us up to the love inside
Open your eyes to the pain you feel
Compassion grows like the lotus blooms
Great ones come teach only love
Free yourself and rise above
May the jewel in the lotus shine
Unite all beings as one
May the jewel in the lotus shine
Awaken all hearts in love
Om Mani Peme Hung Hri
Om Mani Peme Hung Hri
Om Mani Peme Hung Hri
Om Mani Peme Hung Hri
(Bridge)
May all beings be free
May all beings live in peace
May all beings be free
May all beings live in peace
When the children cry and mothers pray
Don’t turn your love away
What will it take to break your heart
Open wide let the healing start
May the thoughts and actions of my own life
Contribute to the blessing of all
Be a lamp to all, shine your light
We are the ones to make things right
May the jewel in the lotus shine
And unite all beings as one
May the jewel in the lotus shine
Awaken all hearts in love
Om Mani Peme Hung Hri
Om Mani Peme Hung Hri
Om Mani Peme Hung Hri
Om Mani Peme Hung Hri
(Bridge)
May all beings be free
May all beings live in peace
May all beings be free
May all beings live in peace
Thank you for your support.
