Ashram Sun Sai Anantam

Track two of Ashram Sun, with Nate Mercereau, which Botofasina calls essentially the title track.
Surya Botofasina, from Ashram Sun (2024)

It runs 7:32 and credits Nate Mercereau, though the Bandcamp page does not specify his role, and we found no writing credit. Botofasina told PopMatters that it is essentially the title track. The album title reflects who he is, since Surya means sun; the ashram was originally known as Shanti Anantam, and the track celebrates the community's connection to it and to Swamini. The vocals acknowledge an elder of the community and carry the words Bhumi Devi, honoring Mother Earth. He describes it as singing for gratitude and said: I will always be from Sai Anantam Ashram. We found no charts, video, live history, covers or samples.
