The Gayatri Mantra is a sacred chant that demonstrates the unity that underlies manifoldness in creation. It is through the recognition of this unity that we can understand the multiplicity. Clay is one and the same thing, though pots of different shapes and sizes can be made from it. Gold is one, though gold ornaments can be multifarious. The Atma is one, though the embodied forms in which it resides may be many.

The Gayatri Mantra can be taken to mean, “We meditate on that most adorable, desirable and enchanting luster and brilliance of our Supreme Being, our Source Energy, our Collective Consciousness….who is our creator, inspirer and source of eternal Joy.  May this warm and loving Light inspire and guide our mind and open our hearts.”

This mantra served as the inspiration for my song “Flow,” which features Jamie Shadowlight on violin and Tiffany Vorndran singing the mantra. To blend two realms, the modern and the ancient, I invoked the words of Carl Sagan. His vision of a singular consciousness and the Earth and all of its inhabitants as a single organism blends seamlessly with the intentions of the mantra.

The mantra is utilized around the world by spiritual seekers to open their hearts and minds to new possibilities and ways of being. I invite you to set an intention for your day and your week and allow yourself to feel empowered by this ancient mantra as expressed in my healing sound vibrations.
