The most attractive, innermost value in you

Sing therefore full of joy.” About the Maha mantra
The Maha mantra is a Krishna mantra that lets you sing with joy about Krishna: the value of the essential that attracts everything and everyone. When we sing or listen to mantras that express this Krishna energy, we are singing about the loving, joyful, playful energy of happiness and inner peace that everyone longs for.
Track 2: Gayatri mantra
Hymn to the Universal Cosmic Light
Mantra Aum bhur bhuvah svah, tat savitur varenyam, bhargo devasya dhimahi, dhyo yonah prachodayat Free translation “Oh my dear essence, in pure devotion I open myself to your brilliant and enlightening radiance that created me and filled me with a sacred presence to enlighten and protect me.” About the Gayatri mantra
The Gayatri mantra opens you to the Light of Existence, which makes the essence of everything, your soul, visible, and it is your insightful consciousness that helps you to act in a healing way. The mantra celebrates light as the most important spiritual value that surrounds you, illuminates you, nourishes you, and makes you lighter and freer so that you can once again live from an open consciousness. The Gayatri prayer is about the value of light in all its forms. What we mean by the word light is experienced much more broadly in Sanskrit and the ancient Indian culture in which that language was spoken. In Sanskrit, for example, light also means love, both in the sense of the quality of the inner beloved and in the sense of heart energy or the essential in everyone. Light is also translated as awareness, as the value of insight, the lightthat makes things visible. But light can also mean the power that gives us light, God, or light as a healing power. In Sanskrit, light actually means any form of freedom and transparency and is seen as the most essential form of nourishment. Light is the value of the enveloping power of motherly love, the guiding power of fatherly love, and the protecting power of divine love. The Gayatri mantra gives space to all these values of light. May the atmosphere of the Gayatri prayer touch your consciousness in such a way that you can more easily find your way to the “light of your soul” and through your contact with this light feel that you are a person who “carries happiness within.”
Track 3: Aum Mani Padme Hum mantra
The jewel in your heart, your soul
Mantra Aum mani padme hum Aum namaha, mani padme hum Namah aum namaha, mani padme hum Namah aum namaha, mani padme, mani padme hum (Mani padme hum, aum mani padme hum Mani padme hum, aum mani padme hum) Aum mani padme hum Free translation “Oh my heart, each time I connect with the precious jewel in your center, the pain of being separated comes to an end” About the Aum Mani Padme Hum mantra
This Tibetan Buddhist mantra sings of the light of the jewel in the lotus of your heart. This jewel is the lightest, deepest and most radiant aspect of your spiritual heart, the source of love within you, and this mantra symbolizes your spiritual development as a procession to the brilliant jewel at the center of your heart. This journey of life, the longing for the essential, takes you through all opposites to the essence that is enveloped in wholeness. Allow yourself to be touched, nourished and enriched by this inner light. The 'light' influences everything, penetrates everything and encourages growth and development. Read the accompanying story to experience the mantra more deeply.
Track 4: Aum Namo Bhagavate mantra
The Essence of all life
Mantra Aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya Aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya Aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya (vasudevaya) Aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya (vasudevaya) Free translation “Oh be praised, shining Essence that is present in everything.” About the Aum Namo Bhagavate mantra
The Sanskrit mantra aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya celebrates the essence that is present in all life and therefore in you as soulfulness. The word aum indicates that you are experiencing and expressing the following words and sounds from the “wholeness of being.” The word namo means “greeting” or “praise” and indicates that this greeting is given with reverence and a bow. The word bhagavate indicates that this is a respectful and exalted being who shines or radiates by his way of being. The word vasudeva is the name of Krishna’s father, and the suffix -ya here means that Krishna (literally, the essence that attracts everything to itself) is meant as the son of Vasudeva, and vasudevaya also means the essence that is present in everything and everyone.
Track 5: Samadhi Embrace song
Honoring your most spiritual experience
Mantra Samadhina, samadhina, samadhina, samadhina, samadhina (Samadhi samadhina, samadhi samadhina, samadhina) Free translation “Through meditation, I become aware of being and open to the essential oneness of everything.” About the Samadhi Embrace song
The Sanskrit word samadhi means to come together, to become one. The root sama means equal, so it is a coming together in which both are equal. Not so much equal in form, but equal in essence, substance, value, and being. The Sanskrit term dhi refers to the wisdom of you as a human being, of yourself. In samadhi, the you that is receptive and filled with the value of your inner self, and the you that is experiencing this and has become gentle and open as a result, come together so closely as equals that it feels like one. Your being and all-encompassing Being come together here very closely and intensely. Your source, your soul, and the Essence, the soul of life, come together as deeply as possible in receptivity and therefore feel as one. The concept of samadhi represents the positive power of being sensitively together with all that is. The Samadhi Embrace song opens you to your spiritual connection with others and the possibilities of expanding it. The mantra gives you a gentle embrace through the value of samadhi, the experience of union through relationship, accompanied by the violin, inviting it in. Samadhi is an important concept in yoga philosophy, expressing how the polarities within you, the distance between you and another, or between you and the world, can come so close together that they ultimately lead to experiencing the harmony of wholeness. You are limited as a human being, of course, but in your minuteness you are nevertheless also able to experience the completeness of wholeness.
