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

Entire treatises are written about this ancient and powerful mantra and its meaning(s).  I've read that it originated from Shri Rudram, which in turn comes from the Yajurveda.  I show a very simple meaning following the lyrics.  It is known as the Great Redeeming Mantra and also as Panchakshara (the 5-Syllable mantra, which doesn't count the 'Om') amongst devotees of Lord Shiva, and there are also associations between those 5 syllables and the five elements.  I invite you to do your own research for more about this mantra.

This is the only track on the Bliss of Kirtan album where I sing all of the 'calls' of the call and response format.  The response "chorus" is comprised of Ben Leinbach, Monnie Ramsell, Prajna Vieira, Yvette Om and myself.  The chant has a very trance-like quality as it continually shifts back and forth between 2 different chords and the two lyric variations of the mantra.  

Instrumentally, the track features Steve Oda on sarod, Monnie Ramsell on esraj, Ben Leinbach on electric guitar, keyboard bass, drums and percussion, and myself on guitar, drums and percussion.  I recorded the sound of the thunderstorm that opens the track one night when the noise of the storm was preventing me from doing some other preliminary recording for the album.

The lyrics are:

Om Namah Shivaaya Om Namah Shivaaya

Shivaaya Namaha Om Namah Shivaaya

Meaning (simple):  

Salutations to Shiva

Shivaya Namaha Om Namah Shivaya

Om Sarasvati
Om Sarasvati vidmahe
Brahma putraya dhimahi
Om Sarasvati vidmahe
Tanno Sarasvati pracodayat
Om Sarasvati

Written & sung by Ananda Monet

Immerse yourself in an enthralling journey five thousand years back, to a time of mystic heroes of the ancient epic, Mahabharata. Each song, in the original Sanskrit, illuminates deep personal emotions. Feel a mother’s heartache, find the freedom in surrender of a warrior princess, enter the blood swept planes of the Kurukshetra battlefield, become awestruck at the Universal Form and pay your respects to a fallen warrior breathing his last.
