Like a River is the title track from the debut album of Jahnavi Harrison, 'Like a River to the Sea', released on July 24th 2015. The track features a refrain from the Govinda Damodara Stotram by medieval saint-poet, Srila Bilvamangala Thakur and is a meditation on protecting sacred environments internally and externally. The film features the landscape and people that live alongside the holy Yamuna River. After years of constant protest and petitioning, as of March 2015, the Indian Government has promised to make drastic changes to divert industrial waste and sewage, and restore the purity of the water. For more updates and info on the Save Yamuna campaign: LYRICS: (refrain) Govinda! Damodara! Madhaveti! He Krishna! He Yadava! He Sakheti! The well I drank from has run dry; the river bed has moved over years, Now cell phones ring instead of bells; the sacred hill has almost disappeared. Prayers and ashes at the river
