SRI SATHYA SAI BABA - MADHURAM SAI MADHURAM
Here's a cassette with bhajans from Indian spritual figure Sri Sathya Sai Baba. It's without the cover so I have no song titles for this one....
Brings back some memories, this tape... Way back, around 1993 I had a girlfriend and she introduced me to a lot of stuff that I had never been into. She introduced me to Reiki and I was, in the course of events, initiated into the first and into the second level. Lots of really very crazy personal stories when it comes to Reiki but this might not be the place to share those :) Let me just say that heavy drug use, mainly xtc in large quantities and every now and then magic mushrooms and Reiki is a very powerful but not always good combination.... I was initiated in the so called OSHO kind of Reiki, from Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, later known as just Osho. She also took me to those Osho parties and although I didn't mind them it wasn't really my thing. My thing, back then, was dancing and hip hop and I liked the dancing at those parties. What wasn't for me was the "laughing sessions" where everybody just sit around and laugh, about basically nothing, laughing till they lay crying on the ground, tears streaming out of their eyes, holding their bellies, all from laughing. What also wasn't for me was when they would play tapes from Osho with his speeches, everybody laughing hard at his little jokes even though you knew that they heard those tapes loads of times already.... Back in the late 70's, 80's and early 90's Osho was huge in Holland, I remember one concert, from Zazou Bikaye in Paradiso in Amsterdam where the place was full with them, all in orange and red clothing, all with that huge wooden necklace with a picture of their guru and all of them dancing like crazy. I liked that a lot more than some of the punk concerts I would go to in the late 70's, early 80's where folks were more busy with heavy fighting. Pools of blood just isn't really my thing....
Osho's disciples dancing....
Osho hanging out with some of his disciples...
I would also go to the monthly Fool Moon parties in Rotterdam, mainly for the dancing. I had just come out of years and years of training jiu jitsu and weights and I had some pretty bad injuries, a broken breast bone and a really messed up shoulder among other things, all from training incidents, doctor said I couldn't train anymore for a long, long time so I picked up dancing, I had energy like crazy back then. I was working in the Rhythm, a wild, crazy cafe in Rotterdam and I was working in greenhouses around the city of Apeldoorn growing weed, sometimes away for months, living in the forest in a small camper or in the greenhouse itself come harvesting time, wild, wild stories there, but anyway, in Rotterdam it was the cafe and going to rave parties and hip hop concerts to dance, 3, 4 times a week at the least...
Cafe The Rhythm in Rotterdam. Worked there for some 5 years, great place where all the freaks would hang out. It closed down around 10 years ago or so...
I worked the greenhouses for 3 years or so and then I shifted to other jobs in Rotterdam, organizing distribution, organizing cutting crews and I started working as a dj in a great, great place called the B14/Twijfelaer, a jazz cafe/restaurant that had been there since just after the Second World War, also, like all the great places in Rotterdam, closed down now. I used to go there all the time during the late 70's punk years and during the 80's, many, many great concerts. I was usually working the Thursday nights when Miko was doing the funk/blues sessions with various musicians. Miko was a tall, handsome black guy from the Bay Area in Oakland and he used to play the guitar in the Eddie Murphy Band and with Prince, you can see him in that Purple Rain movie. Great guy, great showman.... But yeah, Reiki, Osho, those Fool Moon Parties. That week I spend with that girlfiend in the city of Antwerpen in Belgium, in a castle doing courses in Chinese astrology, African dancing, massage and macro-biotic food, a week long bio-energetica therapy sessions with her every morning, one of the most insane things I've ever gone through really...
Cafe/restaurant B14/Twijfelaer, the only picture I could find....
Anyway.... the 80's and 90's were fantastic, loads of great jobs, money was easy to make back then, fantastic concerts, incredible adventures, trips to Thailand where I would wander around for months on end, working in Germany and Denmark at pop festivals selling clothes and stuff from South America....
