The practice of meditation has occurred worldwide since ancient times. The Hindus perfected the art of sacred chanting that dates back at least 3,000 years and is probably the world's oldest continuous vocal tradition. Sacred chanting of the "mantras" or "verses" is the universal and eternal message of love, harmony and peace: the incantation of which also leads to spiritual liberation and enrichment of daily life.

In this "Sacred Mantras of India" album, some of the most significant chants and mantras from the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagawad Gita, prayers for spiritual and meditative stimulation, have been presented in a musical form exemplifying various moods. From the majestic morning raag Bhatiyar to the deeply contemplative late night raag Bhairavi, these sacred mantras explore the full gamut of feeling, emotion, passion, commitment and transcendence that a human being can experience during a day’s cycle. We hope that this Divine musical journey through Sacred Mantras of India will help you realise your inner self.
