Description
This is a collection of songs written by Dada Veda over a period of 25 years. This compilation includes the lyrics, chords and links to recorded versions of the songs, making it possible for any musician to learn them and add to their repertories. The lyrics are positive, uplifting and written from the spiritual perspective of a world-travelled meditation teacher.
A few singer-songwriters have already done their renditions of these songs on YouTube and in livestreams, and the publication of this book will make it possible for others to perform them. Dada’s songs are also perfect for beginning musicians (on guitar, ukulele or piano) who wish to learn new songs and improve their musicality, as the songs are written using easy to learn chords.
For practitioners of meditation and spirituality, there is also a special section of mantra chanting (kirtan) tutorials with chord charts and links to YouTube videos. The simplicity of the mantra chanting tutorials make them especially useful for those who are beginning their guitar, piano or ukulele journeys.
“Dada Veda’s songs have been part of my musical and spiritual journey for years. His lyrics weave love, peace, and social awareness into melodies that lift the heart and awaken the conscience. Performing his songs—at peace concerts, assisted living facilities, in livestreams, or while contributing to Dada’s recordings—has reminded me again and again that music truly can be a form of service. This songbook beautifully captures his spirit of simplicity and sincerity, offering songs that anyone can learn and share to help make the world a little brighter.”

“When I first heard Dada Veda’s music, I knew two things: First that his songs are important, and second that I need to sing them. The fans of traditional folk music for whom I have performed these songs give unanimous praise to Dada’s thoughtful and insightful lyrics and toe tapping melodies which make it impossible not to sing along. This attractive collection of Dada’s work, complete with convenient links to YouTube recordings, will make it easy for any musician to learn Dada’s songs, and I strongly encourage that they do so.”
