VKV SONG   Nancy shopping in the street   VKV SONG   "This song was written by our dear Nancy. Charles and Carin gave music and all of them together performed this song, accompanied by Tony on Tabla on few occassions in the centre. We are grateful to all of them for this beautiful present. Watch out for the audio file"       Verse 1 If you fancy dancing the Kathakali Near the temple ghats along the Pamba valley If it's Malayalam you wish to speak Or a higher plane you've vowed to seek Chorus Join the pilgrims at Vijnana Kala Vedi On the Pamba at Vijnana Kala Vedi   Verse 2 If your dream of drums is a tabla set Or the silken saris you hope to get To carve the wood under shady palms To the rhythmic sounds of the maddalam     Chorus Join the pilgrims at Vijnana Kala Vedi On the Pamba at Vijnana Kala Vedi     Bridge To hear the Swami chant in prayer And reach that stretch you had not dared Karnatic music, Kalari kicks The smell of curry and incense sticks .. VKV, yeah!     Verse 3 The ancient painting arts we've learned To Ayurvedic some have turned So much we've changed, so much we've gained Such joy and friendships we've attained     Chorus Join the pilgrims at Vijnana Kala Vedi On the Pamba at Vijnana Kala Vedi.. VKV, yeah!
