[QUOTE="namjiwankaur, post: 171184, member: 13793"] Gurfateh I was just perusing ABC's Religion & Ethics and found an interesting article about musicians who have made songs about [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus"]Orpheus[/url]. I am not very knowledgeable about ancient Greek gods and myths, but I'm glad I explored the article and the music. The article led to some good music and I'll share some videos of the music below. But it got me thinking about whether there are any teachings about the "underworld" in Sikhi. I searched it at my favorite [URL="http://srigranth.org"]Sri Granth Sahib[/URL] website. The underworld teachings of Sikhi seems like it might be a separate thread so I will separate it into a thread at New to Sikhi. Music is a big part of my life. One of the things I love about Sikhi is how it uses music to draw people closer to experiences of the Beloved. Even if I don't know Gurmukhi, etc, I can still feel myself following the notes toward the Beloved. So I'm happy to learn about someone like Orpheus who was both a poet and musician...two of my favorite forms to work with when it comes to prayer. japposatnamwaheguru: I love U2. I saw them in concert in the early 80s and even touched Bono's knee when he fell out into the crowd to be help up by the audience. I named my next hamster after him, :D . U2's earliest songs contain a lot of Christian references. IE- the song Gloria by them. But I never knew this song was actually about Orpheus. It is a beautiful love song. From this perspective, I feel I have learned a valuable lesson from this. Myths contain valuable teachings on Truth. They may be poetic and based in a "story", but stories can be about Truth, too. I am wondering if the gurus used stories for teaching and if so, where can I read them? U2 - The Ground Beneath Her Feet [url]http://youtu.be/sZfBR5G8FZ8[/url] All my life, i worshipped her Her golden voice, her beauty's beat How she made us feel How she made me real And the ground beneath her feet And the ground beneath her feet And now i can't be sure of anything Black is white, and cold is heat For what i worshipped stole my love away It was the ground beneath her feet It was the ground beneath her feet Go lightly down your darkened way Go lightly underground I'll be down there in another day I won't rest until you're found Let me love you true, let me rescue you Let me lead you to where two roads meet O come back above Where there's only love And the ground beneath her feet And the ground beneath her feet [/QUOTE]
