The word Retro means something that previous or related to the past. Our beloved Maa Adya Maha Kali, the creatrix as we all know is the Vriddha Mata ie.,the Retro of all Retros. In this small write up I am specifically talking about my experience of how I found Maa Adya in retro songs.
So one day, out of the blue with no gadgets around, an old song appears in my mind and I involuntarily began singging the lyrics. Again, I saw myself singing a different retro song but by this time I became conscious and wanted to know exactly why I began to sing specific retro songs.
Interesting but what’s so special about it?
It is special to me personally because I have never sang a retro song consciously because I dint relate to them at all in the past. The music I listen to belongs to different languages with varying genres. All of them are recent ones and a some from a few years ago. Also the retro songs that appeared to me are not even currently trending on social media. Therefore, there is little to no possibility that I would sing them for entertainment. These songs are basically the ones that I’ve never paid attention to when they played on Tv or radio.
Why are they appearing now and making sense?
I did a bit of researching as to when specifically started singing retro. So, it all began at a point where I was sharing everything with Maa Adya as a part of submitting my thoughts/emotions to her. I thought that submitting to her was kind of a mechanical process and a one-way communication zone to relieve emotions. But I was wrong!
This preconceived notion I had ingrained in my mind is from before my journey towards her. I used to have conversations in my mind and was answering my own questions as well. Basically, I was my own client and therapist. I’ve had countless of such midnight therapy sessions before starting my journey of Bhakti and Sadhana.
The Retro Phat moment
The one way communication I had has changed through these retro songs, lyrics and tunes. They are very precise and accurate. The lyrics fit so perfectly to the very subject that I address in person with Maa Adya. This made me release all the doubts and accept that it is Maa who plants these songs in my mind.
Random retro songs appear as a tune or just few lines sometimes after puja, or after submitting thoughts/emotions to her or while looking at her. These songs lyrics are simple words of common usage but carry so much depth like she is entertaining and giving words with hidden wisdom. In fraction of seconds, she conveys her message and uplifts the spirit. Later on the whole day that very retro song’s lyrics plays in my mind and I just remember her blushing.
I’ve observed that these retro songs are very poetic and filled with deep emotions. It is like she has given a new life and meaning to these songs. Now all the retro songs appear to be connected to Maa Adya and I cannot seem to undo this effect of placing her in all these songs. Every time a retro song appears, I get very intrigued thinking that she is in these songs having a one way conversation with me in my present self.
Is she the OG Retro Queen?
