Raya
Pothamus Lyrics

The lyrics of Pothamus's song "Raya" invite the listener to dismiss time and immerse themselves in the present moment. The first lines, "Form nor void, transcends, boundless, rootless root," suggest the concept of the "ādi tattva," or the original substance or principle from which everything else derives. "Panta rhei" reinforces this idea, as it means "everything flows" in Greek philosophy. "Raya," the title of the song, means "now" in Sanskrit, and the phrase "all is now" implies that the present moment contains everything that exists.

The next few lines, "Amūlamūla, chaos, theos, cosmos, in your eyes," suggest that there is a divine order to the universe, even amidst chaos. The repetition of the phrase "from within the now, we reveal the all," emphasizes the importance of being fully present and aware in each moment. The final lines, "from within the now, we embrace the all," go beyond simply revealing the all and suggest actively engaging with the present moment and all that it contains.
