Song of Eighteenities with Vani Devi - a podcast by Sukadev Bretz www.yoga-vidya.de

Vani Devi chants the kirtan Song of Eighteenities - at first the original song and then the german translation. You can find both versions in the Yoga Vidya Kirtan Songbook under number 55 and number 63. The \"Song of Eighteenities\" is a vedanta kirtan written by Swami Sivananda.

Here are the lyrics to sing along:

Serenity, Regularity, Absence Of Vanity,
Sincerity, Simplicity, Veracity,
Equanamity, Fixity, Non-irritability,
Adaptability, Humility, Tenachity,
Integrity, Nobility, Magnanimity,
Charity, Generosity, Purity,
Practise Daily These Eigheenities,
You Will Soon Attain Immortality.
You\'ll Abide In Eternity And Infinity.
You\'ll Behold Unity In Diversity.
Brahman Is The Only Real Entity.
Mr. So-and-so Is A False Non-entity.
(You Cannot Attain This In The University.
By Yoga Sadhana You Can Attain Immortality.)

And then you can hear Vani Devi singing the german translation of this song. It is in German: \"Lied der 18 Tugenden\". Maybe you like to sing along also this version, so here is the text for you:

Heiterkeit, Regelmäßigkeit, Fehlen von Eitelkeit.
Lauterkeit, Einfachheit, Wahrhaftigkeit.

Gleichmut, Beständigkeit, Fehlen von Reizbarkeit.
Anpassungsfähigkeit, Bescheidenheit, Zähigkeit.

Rechtschaffenheit, Vornehmheit, Großmütigkeit
Wohltätigkeit, Großzügigkeit, Reinheit.

Übe jeden Tag diese Achtzehnheiten.
Bald wirst Du unsterblich sein.

Spüre Unendlichkeit, Ewigkeit,
Schaue Einheit in der Vielheit.

Brahman ist die einzige echte Wesenheit.
Herr So-und-so ist falsche Wesenheit.

Du lernst dies nicht in der Universität.
Durch Yoga kannst Du Ewigkeit erfahren.


This recording was not recorded during a Yoga Vidya Satsang at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg, Germany. It was taken separately. Bliss and joy by listening this kirtan in English and German.
