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

Much has also been written about this mantra, known as the Mahamantra (Great Mantra) to devotees of Lord Krishna and Vaishnavites (devotees of Lord Vishnu) generally.  It dates back to the Kali-Santarana Upanishad, which is associated with the Krishna Yajurveda, and was popularized as part of the bhakti movement started by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the late 15th century, and more recently in the West by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

This composition for the mantra has two melodic parts, and the track opens with a bansuri intro by Steve Gorn.  The track features Prajna Vieira joining Natesh on call and response vocals.  In addition to Steve Gorn on bansuri, the track instrumentally features Benj Clarke on acoustic upright bass, Daniel Paul on tabla, Ben Leinbach on drums and hand percussion, and Natesh on guitar, drums and hand percussion.

The lyrics are:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krisha Hare Hare
  Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Meaning:

As I understand it is interpreted in Swami Prabhupad's 'Hare Krishna' movement, "Hare" is a form of Harā, a name of Rādhā, Krishna's beloved, and none other than Shakti. Thus Harā refers to "the energy of God" while Krishna and Rama refer to God himself, and mean "He who is All-Attractive" and "He who is the Source of All Pleasure," respectively.

We’re pleased to introduce to you our first Jeffree’s release of 2015, a five track EP by a literal alien fresh off crash landing in Miami, Snappy Jit! Drawing from influences such as Juke, Soca, Calypso and Miami Bass (to name a few), Snappy’s sound can be characterized as some of the best call and response tracks this side of Jupiter. He’s almost created a genre in and of itself, making it nearly impossible to compare Snappy’s style to anything else out there right now.

Kick things off with “Hot Foot” as you tail Snappy Jit’s lime-green haired manifestation through his cartoon world, hustling through his Hanna Barabara-esque time traveling scenery with your pal Jammin Joe. Changing pace, celebrate your feat with “Bumpa” next, with its repeatative vocal like a one man band marching in his own dimension. All work and no play? Hear that concept re-imagined as you bounce around with track three “We Go To Work” and then find yourself chasing the girl next door with the crooner “She Like My Step”. Get ready to turn loose on the final track “I.G. Stuntin” as your technicolor dream comes to an epic end.

“Mwito wa Mababu” is one of the most personal and profound collaborations I've ever been part of.
Working with SAFA MOYA felt more like answering a spiritual call than making a track. Her voice doesn’t just sing – it remembers. Through every phrase, you can hear the echoes of generations and the pulse of ancestral ground.

The idea was clear from the beginning: to keep the essence pure. We built the song around raw, acoustic elements – claps, foot stomps, kalimba – recorded in open, natural space. Nothing synthetic. No tricks. Just the human voice, leading and responding, connecting to something older than all of us.

And then came the moment of expansion. For a brief passage, we opened the door to a cinematic deep house atmosphere – just enough to carry the spirit further without distorting it. Pads, subbass, and a gentle pulse that breathes beneath her voice, like a memory carried on wind.

This track is a call across time, a song for the soul and the soil. I'm incredibly proud of what we created together. Thank you SAFA.

Mwito wa Mababu (feat. Safa Moya)

A fiery bluegrass-gospel showstopper where Eve reclaims the Fall with swagger, wit, and girl-group harmonies. Righteous, rebellious, and irresistible.

A stripped-down gospel soul version of “Pass the Peas,” delivered with quiet conviction and foot-worn grace. A female voice—weathered, warm, unwavering—leads the way through verses of legacy, struggle, and ritual. Acoustic and unhurried, this take trades groove for grit, with harmonies rising like memory behind her. It’s not performative—it’s practiced. An altar made of wood, breath, and repetition.

Natesh has been chanting in the kirtan tradition for over 40 years, first connecting with this transformational spiritual practice in 1979.  He has led regular kirtan in Sedona, AZ, since 2004 and has led kirtan at BhaktiFest, ShaktiFest and other festivals. He's composed over 200 chants since 2004 and his chants have been called “some of the most beautiful melodies I’ve heard" and his singing "deeply soulful." His Bliss of Kirtan album has evoked comments like "stunningly beautiful for the ear and for the soul" and "a lovely and profound offering."

In 2016, Natesh became deeply connected with Brahmarishi Mohanji (www.mohanji.org) and has composed a number of chants dedicated to Mohanji, some of which are here on Soundcloud.
