I think this is a song praising God in a spiritual way.

"Hara Hara Mahadeva Shambho. Kashi Vishwanatha Gange" = Praise the Great god Shiva. The Gange river flows by the city of Kashi.

"Ex Maria pie jesu" = From Mary, sanctified/Holy Jesus "Ex Maria virgine qui tolis " = From the Virgin Mary, who bore/sustained/endured "pie domine domine" = holy Lord, Lord "pie" = pious/holy/sanctified

Thank you for translating. What language is that in?

The first part is hindi and the second is latin

not sure if theres enough to say that "The Ganges river flows by the city of Kashi." its true of course, but it could be a refernce to Lord Shiva. Also don't forget that Shiva has the Ganges trapped in his hair.

and the language is Sanskrit actually, not Hindi

through the correct mindset and use of hallucinogenics you will reach enlightenment / god, Since Buddhism is all about enlightenment, it would be correct in the assumption that you should reference it when talking about true spirituality.

Actually I thought it referred to mushroom tea as well. Either way one of the most expansive, profound, and shimmeringly beautiful songs I've encountered.

Hara - Praise Mahadeva - a word sometimes used for Shiva, Hindu God. But I've also heard it attached to the Buddha. Shambho - one who is calm, all pervasive. Kashi - divine inner light - Vishwanatha - ruler of the universe (But there is a famous temple on the Ganges called Kashi Vishwanatha - temple to Shiva - which would make more sense since the phrase is linked to the Ganges

The "And we can take this huge universe and put it inside a very tiny head: you fold it" part actually is a quote from the neuroscientist Rodolfo Llinas. It's part of his theory of visual perception. Full quote: "The outside world is a projection, you put it there. It is not happening out there, it is happening inside your head. It is, in fact, a dream, exactly like when you fall asleep. We need to see, we need to perceive, we need to dream actively, because this is the only way we can take this huge universe and put it inside a very tiny head. We fold it, make an image, and then project it out"

umm hmm well a tea daze refers to tripping out on shrooms. not sure what the song means but thats probably because im not in fact tripping on shrooms right now

Wow, are you kidding. TEA daze refers to Ayahausca, a TEA made with DMT (or 5-MeO-DMT) and natural occurring MAOIs.

Technically, this song could be about Mushroom Tea as well (or about any other tea containing a psychedelic).
