An astounding nugget from the outpourings of Pujyashri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj. The song is taken from Swamiji's profound booklet titled "Vairagya Mala."

I can't wait to tell you everything about how this song came to me and how, when sitting outside of Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh, the entire music composition and thought process happened on the spur of a moment.

'Wake up now at least' Full Lyrics:
O man! You are living in vain!
You have wasted your life!

You haven’t cut off your desires,
You haven’t severed ties or bonds,
You haven’t worshipped Lord Hari,
You haven’t chanted eight letters (Ashtakshari),
Fie on thee!
O miserable wretch!

Oṃ Namō Nārāyaṇāya​

Wake up now at least!
There is still hope for you!
Lord Hari is most gracious!

Sing His glory! Hari! Hari!
Do kirtan! Hari! Hari!
Repeat His name! Hari! Hari!
Serve saints!

|| ga ma ri sa ni sa ni dha | ga ma ri sa ni sa ni dha ||
|| dha ni ni sa sa ga ga ma | ma dha dha ni sa , , , ||

Speak of Badri,
Speak of Tirupati,
Speak of Pandharpur,
Speak of Puri,
Speak of Mathura,
Speak of Vrindavan,
Ayodhya, Guruvayur!

You’ll soon attain immortal Bliss!

Oṃ Namō Nārāyaṇāya​
