This track is from my Bliss of Kirtan album and is available for purchase on my website at this link: https://nateshkirtan.com/store.

There is also much written about this ancient mantra from the Rig Veda, and the first line (which is considered to be an invocation rather than part of the mantra).  I show one of the simpler interpretations following the lyrics.

This composition has two melodic parts.  After a couple of passes through the typical call-response-call-response for each melody, the chant then goes to one pass through each melody, with Gina Salá and I singing each part together, which would be the equivalent of shifting to everyone singing together rather than singing call and response in a live kirtan.  

Note that the mantra does not traditionally close with 'Om" but doing so in this composition creates a powerful 'pause' between each iteration.

The track opens with a cello intro by Eddie Young, and features Gina Salá joining me for call and response vocals.  Gina also sings some exquisite improvisational vocals, which are the focal point of the conclusion of the track (and the entire album).  In addition to Eddie Young on cello, it also instrumentally features Ben Leinbach on bass guitar and drums, and Natesh on guitar, drums and hand percussion.

The lyrics are:

Om Bhur Bhuvaha Svaha 
  Tat Savitur Varenyam*
    Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
      Dhiyo Yonaha Prachodayaat  OM

* pronounced like 'Vareniyam'

Meaning:

O Supreme One, who pervades all matter, space and consciousness,
Whose Radiance illumines Existence, deserving all worship,
Pure and resplendent, we meditate upon you.
Lead our Intellect (towards Illumination).

Gayatri Mantra

Do not dance to look nice or perfect- release yourself in celebratory ecstacy, do not dance to the music allow yourself to become the music allowing each sound to wave through your being- be total.

Inspired by the poem "The Peace of Wild Things" by the American poet Wendall Berry.

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

The Peace of Wild Things (featuring Lien)

A cinematic western-folk requiem told in twelve parables — from desolation to communion, from dusk to dawn.
Harlan Crowe’s baritone carries the grit of the desert; Sora’s soprano carries its light.
The Spanish classical guitar is the road itself: steady, unbroken, eternal.

She Walked into the Sun

This song is a message for people who have felt a defeat in love at times. The poetry suggests that the defeat is actually the triumph, as such an experience makes one wiser, sensitive, vulnerable.

I share that, what i learned from genuine sources, this is the least respect that Indian music deserves and will always deserve."
