Jetsun Mila

~ Release by Éliane Radigue (see all versions of this release, 4 available)

Annotation

Jetsun Mila is inspired by the life of Milarepa, a great yogi and poet of Tibet who lived in the 11th Century. The story of his life as told to his closest disciple, Rechungpa, represents one of the most famous works within Tibetan culture. The Mila Kabum, or Namthar, has been translated into several Western languages, including English and French. In this story of Milarepa’s life, we can see how in one lifetime one can accomplish amazing deeds through ascetic practices and spiritual endeavors.

Eliane Radigue’s 84-minute musical evocation of Milarepa’s life is in nine sections, with prelude, which correspond to major periods of the life of this famous yogi. The sections flow from one to the other without breaks, one giving birth naturally to the next. They are:

Prelude

1. Birth and Youth
2. Misdeeds
3. Meeting the Guru
4. Ordeals
5. Practice
6. Visiting the Homeland
7. Retreat
8. Realization / Meditation
9. Death / Nirvana
