An auspicious joy-filled way to start July 2021 is to sing
along with the below video track "Chandrachooda" by Anoop
Sankar, which is full of life and vigour, and an example of the uplifting
inspirational enthusiastic fusion music coming out of India.
The word enthusiasm is derived from the two Greek words, "en"
and "theos" and literally means, "filled with God." The
word itself tells that people with enthusiasm and filled with God, will have a
better life and help create a better world.
The track is a celebration of Lord Siva—"One whose locks are
adorned by the moon! Oh pristinely pure one, the creator of auspiciousness! Oh
husband of ParvatI, salutations to thee! Oh handsome one, holding a deer and a
bow called pinaka in your hands, bearing the holy Ganges on your head, and
draped in a garment made from the skin of the elephant-faced demon you
destroyed!"
