Ah is
the debut double album from Bhagavan Das released in 1972. Bhagavan,
a young Californian turned Eastern mystic who would later
become famous as “the Jimi Hendrix of kirtan,” chants, sings,
moans and invokes, with a beautifully clear voice, supported by
traditional Indian instruments. Excellent incense-burning music.
Richard Alpert/Baba Ram Das was profoundly influenced by Bhagavan
Das, and provides some commentary. The two studied together in the
Himalayas in the 1960s.
The album includes an eight-page
booklet with comments from Baba Ram Das along with photos. Says Ram
Das about the album: “There are many ways to listen to Bhagavan Das
sing. As background music it will provide, like the ever-present
reverberations of OM, MANI, PADMA, HUM in the Tibetan Temples, a
subliminal reminder and gentle purification. As an aesthetic
expreience, it is bliss permeated. And as a method of yoga (for
bringing one to union) it speaks for itself.”
The Ah album is often referred to as the companion to the Baba Ram Das book “Be Here Now.”
