New Music Release: ‘Empower Yourself’ (Live Version) Is Here!

Leave a comment

Dear Friends,

I’m excited to share my newest release with you!

🎶 “Empower Yourself” (Live Version)
by Sakshi Zion & The Tuff Tones

This song is a celebration of self-empowerment, personal responsibility, and awakening to the light within.

Inspired by a familiar biblical parable and woven together with an uplifting roots reggae groove, hints of dub, and heartfelt original lyrics, Empower Yourself is an invitation to stand in your truth, embrace your purpose, and remember the power you’ve been given.

The song builds into a blessing-filled bridge and closing chant:

✨ “Truth and Right… Love and Light…” ✨

My hope is that these words stay with you long after the music ends and encourage you to move through life with courage, compassion, and confidence.

I’d be honored if you’d take a few minutes to listen, share it with a friend, and add it to your favorite playlist.

Amba Bhavani Kirtan (Jaya Jagadambe) by Sakshi Zion

Leave a comment

Sakshi Zion singing the devotional chant to the Divine Mother for the Sunday Service at New Thought Center of Hawaii. Amba Bhavani means Mother full of Love & Jaya Jagadambe meaning Victory to the Mother of the Universe.

Amba Bhavani Kirtan by Sakshi Zion

The chant “Amba Bhavani Jaya Jagadambe” is a devotional hymn to the Divine Mother, often associated with Durga, Kali, or other forms of Shakti. This chant invokes the Divine Feminine as Amba Bhavani (Mother Bhavani, the sustainer of existence) and Jagadambe (Mother of the Universe), celebrating her victory and nurturing presence.

A literal translation of the chant is:

Amba: Mother
Bhavani: The consort of Lord Bhava (Shiva) or the one who gives existence
Jaya: Victory or glory
Jagadambe: Mother of the Universe

Thus, the chant can be translated as:
“Glory to Mother Bhavani, Victory to the Mother of the Universe.”

For initiates on the spiritual path, this chant holds layers of symbolic and mystical meaning:

Amba Bhavani represents the Divine Feminine as the force of creation, nurturing, and sustenance. Chanting her name calls forth the primal energy (Shakti) within oneself, awakening the Kundalini.

Jaya signifies triumph over the ego and ignorance, urging the aspirant to seek victory over the inner battles that veil self-realization.

Jagadambe acknowledges the universality of the Divine Mother, reminding the initiate that all beings and elements of creation are manifestations of her energy.


By chanting these sacred names, the aspirant aligns their inner being with the cosmic rhythm, invoking divine grace for transformation, protection, and spiritual liberation.

Govinda Jaya Jaya & Hare Krishna Kirtan at Kona Interfaith Concert 2023

Leave a comment

Govinda Jaya Jaya & Hare Krishna Kirtan by Sakshi Zion & friends at last years (2023) annual Interfaith Concert at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Kona, Hawaii.

Joining me was Karmic Atese (vocals), Triona (vocals), Kaimalu (keys) & Krishna Chaitanya (mridanga) it was a beautiful experience!

The mantra Govinda Jaya Jaya translates to “Govinda (another name for Krishna), glory, glory.” It celebrates the divine qualities of Lord Krishna, often revered as the embodiment of love, compassion, and joy. This mantra is a cornerstone of Kirtan, a devotional practice originating in the Bhakti Yoga tradition, which seeks to connect with the divine through collective singing.

Similarly, the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra—“Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare”—is a profound invocation of divine energy, calling upon Krishna and Rama as aspects of the supreme consciousness. Both mantras are imbued with spiritual power, as their vibrations are said to awaken the soul’s innate connection with the divine, purify the heart, and instill bliss and tranquility in the practitioner.

In Kirtan, these mantras create a communal spiritual resonance, uplifting participants into a shared state of devotion and transcendence.

Om Mata Kali Kirtan at Kona Interfaith Concert 2023

Leave a comment

Om Mata Kali Kirtan by Sakshi Zion & friends at last years (2023) annual Interfaith Concert at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Kona, Hawaii.

Joining me was Karmic Atese (vocals), Triona (vocals), Kaimalu Harmon (keys) & Krishna Chaitanya (mridanga) it was a beautiful experience!

Translation:

  • “Om Mata Kali”: “Salutations to Mother Kali,” invoking the cosmic mother in her fierce and transformative form.
  • “Jai Maa”: “Victory to the Mother,” a cry of devotion and celebration of the Divine Feminine.
  • “Sri Maa”: “Holy Mother” or “Revered Mother,” an acknowledgment of the sacred and nurturing presence of the universal mother.

Mystical Interpretation:

These mantras honor the Divine Mother in her various forms, particularly as Kali, the fierce yet compassionate force of transformation and liberation. “Om Mata Kali” invokes her energy to destroy ignorance, fear, and ego, paving the way for spiritual rebirth. “Jai Maa” is a heartfelt declaration of surrender and gratitude, celebrating her infinite power and grace. “Sri Maa” reveres her as the source of all creation and nurturance, reminding the chanter of her protective, loving presence. Together, these mantras call forth the Divine Mother’s power to guide, protect, and transform the devotee on their spiritual journey.

Blessings and Strength to Interfaith Ecumenical dialogue that continues to inspire and bridge the gaps and divides of religions and politics by bringing more knowledge and unity to our communities and world!

Jaya Ganesha Kirtan at Kona Interfaith Concert 2023

Leave a comment

Jaya Ganesha Kirtan by Sakshi Zion & friends at last years (2023) annual Interfaith Concert at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Kona, Hawaii.

Joining me was Karmic Atese (vocals), Triona (vocals), Kaimalu (keys) & Krishna Chaitanya (mridanga) it was a beautiful experience!

Translation:

  • “Jaya Ganesha”: “Victory to Ganesha” or “Hail Lord Ganesha.” It is an invocation of praise, celebrating Ganesha’s triumph over obstacles and his divine wisdom.
  • “Ganesha Sharanam”: “I take refuge in Ganesha” or “Ganesha is my sanctuary.” This expresses surrender and trust in Ganesha’s guidance and protection.

Mystical Interpretation:

These mantras invoke the energy of Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of new beginnings. Chanting “Jaya Ganesha” connects the chanter to divine strength, invoking the power to overcome challenges with grace. “Ganesha Sharanam” represents a surrender of ego and trust in the higher intelligence of the universe, symbolized by Ganesha. Together, the mantras serve as a spiritual tool to dissolve inner and outer barriers, align with divine will, and invite clarity, wisdom, and protection on the seeker’s path.

Blessings and Strength to Interfaith Ecumenical dialogue that continues to inspire and bridge the gaps and divides of religions and politics by bringing more knowledge and unity to our communities and world!

Triple Goddess Poem

Leave a comment

She came to me in many faces, the Triple Goddess herself.

She was like Parvati, sweet, nurturing, affectionate, understanding, kind and compassionate. She loved me and supported me and believed in my dreams. She was like a mother to my daughter and that meant the world to me.

She was like Durga, fierce, protective, queenly, loyal and powerful, standing up for righteousness and truth, dignified and demanding respect. She stood up for me and protected my heart, she believed in honesty and the loyalty of true love. She cared for us, while living her dream and rising in her power. I respected her so much.

She was also Kali, dreadful, cold and harsh. Unleashed and unchained.. she ripped my head off and swallowed my heart, while fucking me to pieces… Our love was obliterated by her recklessness & self-sabotage.

For the Goddess Power is also unpredictable and unforgiving at times. It was a whirlwind and completely devastating but I learned to “let go” and that perhaps is her greatest lesson to me. Letting go of false pretenses and false promises. Letting go of expectations and worries. Letting go of fear. Letting go of her was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Because my love ran so deep. I believed in us and somehow.. I still do.. but now we part, with a broken heart, because I still fuckin love you, goodbye.💔

yes, this is bittersweet, but I guess that’s life. 😥
