Sita Ram — Radhika Das — LIVE at Cecil Sharp House, London

The power of transcendental sound has been channeled by various traditions, throughout history and throughout the world. Chants, prayers, hymns, recitation of sacred texts, can awaken our inherent spiritual nature. ’Mantra’ is a sanskrit word meaning ’that which liberates and cleanses the mind’. Mantra refers to a sacred sound formula that is vibrated repeatedly, as a process of purifying the heart and mind, allowing the innate brilliance within to shine out into every aspect of our lives. So simple, but so powerful! This chant: “Ram, Sita Ram, Jaya Ram“ awakens the heart to its divine nature, and brings about joy and true inner satisfaction. The arrangement of this tune was inspired by my track: Ram Sita Ram, where the entry to the kirtan consists of meditative vocals and a piano creating a mood that inspires loving devotion.
