'the celestial sound that controls the whole universe' - swami satchidananda at woodstock, 7.10-7.20pm august 15th 1969 (just after richie havens).
it is journey in satchidananda day - the anniversary of the recording of four out of the five tracks on journey in satchidananda up at the coltrane family home in dix hills, long island (near the town of huntington).
wikipedia says the following;
satcitananda (sanskrit: सच्चिदानन्द, IAST: saccidānanda; also sat-cit-ananda or sacchidānanda) is an epithet and description for the subjective experience of the ultimate unchanging reality, called brahman, in certain branches of hindu philosophy, especially vedanta. it represents "existence, consciousness, and bliss" or "truth, consciousness, bliss".
horsemouth has found some great footage of the coltrane home, john, alice, michelle and john junior. four out of the five tracks on journey in satchidananda were recorded there, but also cosmic music, monastic trio, huntington ashram monastery, ptah el daoud, and two tracks on universal consciousness.
horsemouth can't help but notice that the town of huntington monument signage doesn't mention alice. alice was received into the downbeat hall of fame this year.
horsemouth doesn't have journey in satchidananda here with him but he does have the luaka bop ecstatic music, huntington ashram monastery and the title track from journey on the astral meditations compilation. he will endeavour to listen to it again today.
today a rainy grey morning (claring later allegedly). horsemouth did not sleep so well last night (too much coffee probably). horsemouth has dropped off some eggs for his mum at a neighbours and picked up some nasturtium fruit from a plant on the way back. this afternoon a journey (horsemouth is slightly anxious about getting back before darkness falls).
