Buddha Dances by Althea W.

This album is inspired by Siddartha a novel written by Hermann Hesse.  A story of a man named Siddartha and his unrelenting search for truth. A truth that is essential for a simple harmonious relationship with the world.  His journey of self- discovery leads him to abandon the path of the Brahmins for the path of the Samanas. He becomes an ascetic aspiring to reach spiritual light and peace of mind. Renouncing all his material possessions he becomes a homeless wanderer. Siddartha travels many paths. Some of which prove to dead ends he abandons and some which lead him further to his destination.  The path of the Samanas leads Siddartha to the path of the Gotama, and eventually to the radically alternative  path of the material world with Kamala and Kamaswami. He does not give up his search and continues to take whatever path is available. Seeking to reach an understanding of life or Nirvana. There are many paths we all will travel.

This album is made with love and care. Wishing you safely home.
