Found this great video of the track Tandav by Indian Vedic Metal band Agnee.
The band Agni is one of the founders of the modern Indian Rock Music scene. This song is “Tandav” from the album “Mrityunyaja” (2002). The album could be considered to be one of the forerunners of Vedic Metal, with its Sanskrit lyrics, religious themes and the amazing fusion of Indian and Western music. It is a very rare CD.
About the song:
Tandav is a salutation to Lord Shiva and begins with a prayer to the magnificent Shiva from the Rudra. The song is a humble tribute from a mortal man to the Eternal One who is the creator, sustainer and destroyer.
The video was shot in Chennai with some indoor sets with South Indian professional dancers involved. The video basically depicts the Invoking of Shiva and settling back towards the end, in peace.
“Tandav” Lyrics:
Om sahana vavatu
Sahanau bhunaktu
Sahaviryam karvava hai
Tejas vina vadhi tamastu
Bhavid vishava hai
Om, namoh, namah Shivayah
Rudra-rupa, Mahadeva, Jatadhaari Shankara
Satya Rachita, Neelkantha, Pralaydaataa Ishwara
Rudra-rupa, Mahadeva, Jatadhaari Shankara
Satya Rachita, Neelkantha, Pralaydaataa Ishwara
Laya se tere jug hai yeh jaagaa
Bhay mein tere asur man kapaa
Rudra rupa, Mahadeva, Jatadhaari Shankara
Satya Rachita, Neelkantha, Pralaydaataa Ishwara
Laya se tere jaga hai yeh jaagaa
Bhay mein tere asur man kapaa
Lord Destroyer, I’m on fire, help me O Maheshwara
Raise the foot and set the Trident, talk to me my
Shankara
Chanting your name, Moksha I can find
Slays all evil, gaze of your third eye
Om sahana vavatu
Sahanau bhunaktu
Sahviryam karvava hai
Tejas vina vadhi tamastu
Bhavid vishava hai
Om, namoh, namah Shivayah
