MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI.

The word goes back to the Upanishads, where it is used in speaking of the Supreme Being, and, through communion of Knowledge and Love, of those who become One with Him:

Mahatma,
Always in the hearts of the people enshrined.

Largehearted Ledger
I revel in December’s year-end song and album lists as much as I do the best book lists, for the same reasons. I discover what I missed and what deserves a second listen before inom put my own favorite skiva list together next weekend.
This year’s lists from Said the Gramophone’s Sean Michaels (my favorite year-end music list), The Quietus, and Bandcamp Daily have already introduced me to some great music, and I am looking forward to all the other lists forthcoming.
Do you have a favorite year-end music list? What was your favorite song this year? Favorite album?
This week’s best new music includes albums from Bory, Car Seat Headrest, Wings of Desire, Jerskin Fendrix, and James Elkington.
