Justine Toms and Michael Toms are the founders of the legendary radio program called New Dimensions, heard on countless community, public and college radio stations, Radio Australia, and other venues. During this program we reminisce about the early days of higher consciousness radio, the early days of New Dimensions, Music from the Hearts of Space, and a program on Radio Canada from Montreal produced by Jacques Languirand called "Par 4 chemins" (The Four Directions). We discuss Justine's new book, Small Pleasures - Finding Grace in a Chaotic World, especially the part of the book about how to develop your own Wisdom Circle -- a circle of friends to consult with, a form of spiritual direction.

A Music Review: Har Har Mukande with Mender of Hearts -- The Crimson Collection Vol. 4 & 5 on one compact disc
By James Bean
Copyright August 2007
Artists: Singh Kaur (vocals) and Kim Robertson (Celtic Harp)
Har Har Mukande with Mender of Hearts is a very special recording, one of my all-time favorite albums of spiritual music.
The first part, Har Har Mukande, is based on words from the Sikh scriptures, and is intended to empower the individual. The artists describe it this way: ".......a healing celestial song/chant to awaken your victorious personality. It is written that this sound current will give the experience of living from a carefree perspective which is the liberated soul. It can stimulate the capacity for commitment and courage, turning challenges into opportunities."
The second part is titled, Mender of Hearts, and, like the first, is a kind of musical mantra designed to have a specific effect upon the listener, in this case to stimulate love for the Supreme Being: "This love song to the Infinite, the Mender of Hearts, has the ability to heal the heart and re-awaken your joy and enthusiasm for life. This is a love song in the purest sense: a love song to the infinite within each of us and the infinite that unites us all, the one who is 'the mender of all hearts, the mender of the wounds of life...the sustainer of all.' The intricate and beautiful melody of the Celtic harp blending with Singh Kaur's soothing crystal-clear voice will touch your soul."
The heart-centered bhakti lyrics of Mender of Hearts are also from the Sikh scriptures of India, from the Peace Lagoon translation published by the 3HO/Yogi Bhajan group, even now, one of the nicer anthologies of the Sikh scriptures available in contemporary English, a very beautiful book.
You are the mender, the mender of of hearts. You are the sustainer of all. You are the mender of the wounds of life. You are the sustainer of all. In your heart You care for everyone. Within all hearts, in everyone. In Your heart You care for everyone. Within all hearts, within all hearts You're there. O my mind, meditate forever on the Holy One.
You are the mender of the wounds of life. You are the sustainer of all. So remember Him who alone will carry you, Who alone will carry you to your destination. Meditate forever on the One. O my mind, meditate forever on the One.
To maintain the divine energy, the moral strength in life for spontaneous progress in spiritual life, the following code of conduct should be observed.
One should not deprive anyone from maintaining his life peacefully and enjoying his love for his beloved one.
One should not create any hindrance to the attempt of others to grow and expand with all efficiencies and merits.
One should not prevent any spiritual inspiration or the progress of another's faith and spontaneous elevation.
One should not give any wrong advice to anyone and create more confusion in their lives.
One should be in the right frame of body, mind and spirit to be prepared for any eventuality, to be able to face and handle any situation and maintain balance and tranquility.
One should not hurt anybody's sentiment for his object of love and so make him suffer depression, loneliness and varieties of frustrations that create suffocation of life and love.
One has no right to bite another's personality and fight against his interest or faith. This creates conflict and chaos in the world of friendship and relations and forfeits the functioning of normal life, love and relations.
One should not burden others with all of one's problems, wants and worries when they cannot rightly solve them. This creates a tendency to self pity and confusion that ruin the strength of self confidence and willpower with which one could solve one's problems.
One should not land oneself in the field of friendship and relations by unhealthy discussions or unnecessary gossip. This ruins the spiritual potentialities of others, envelops them in clouds of doubt and depression and buries them in darkness.
One should not hurt anybody in any way to release one's revenge, frustration and disappointment.
One should not discuss anything that disgraces oneself or others. This brings distress to the mind and creates contraction in the being. Contraction is death. Expansion is life.
One should not forget that the sum total of wrong deeds and actions will withhold and pull back one's life to a condition where no other advice can ever work to rescue it. The sum of wrong deeds nullifies the reward of good deeds and permanently imprisons life in the world of darkness and depression where evil can play its role to ruin one forever.
0 mankind, be alert about karmic law and know what you should do and whit you should not do. Avail every opportunity in life to enjoy the effect of good actions, with the full co-operation of the angels, and enter into the kingdom of God in this life and life eternal.
Blessed are those who are aware of their moment to moment life and the result thereon to achieve the highest reward from God, burying all the past causes of suffering to enjoy Eternal Bliss.
