This is very beautiful and sweet. You did a very good job on it!

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).
