Lotus Feet

"Lotus Feet" by John McLaughlin, is one of the most spirtually moving songs I've ever heard. He's recorded many versions of it, including this live take with Paco de Lucia.

The most powerful and sublime is the performance of "Lotus Feet" on the Remember Shakti album with master musician Hariprasad Chaurasia playing the lead on bansuri (bamboo flute).

"Lotus Feet" is a reference to the act of devotion in Hinduism that a seeker offers at the feet of his or her guru or teacher, whose feet are rooted in the unfolding enlightenment of the lotus blossom.
