Mantra Sadhana by Naren K. Schreiner

"I'm so excited to release this unexpected album. I was asked to record three mantra for a research team comprised of both Indians and Americans that is studying the the benefits of mantra in trauma therapy and recovery. I made great efforts with the sound engineers to capture the sonic textures of purely acoustic Indian instruments--tanpura and harmonium--and to chant the Sanskrit mantras in the traditional way as taught by the gurus of India.

I envisioned a flow of mantra: First, the Omakaram, the sacred vibratory Om, in its powerful simplicity. Second, Shiva Mantra, specifically the Mritunjaya Mantra, meant to overcome and give relief to pain, suffering, illness and death. Third, Shanti Mantra, expanding individual healing into a universal prayer for the wellbeing of all living beings.

My prayer is that these recordings will support one's own spiritual life, bringing peace, healing and an expanded heart. Above all, these sacred mantras can bring us in contact with the Divine Presence that is always hiding just behind our restless thoughts, behind our beating heart."
