Chakra Celebration by Patrick Bernard and Anuradha
Chakras Celebration employs various Mantras, some names of great gods and goddess, specific tones, rhythms, spiritual sound vibrations and Holy Vocalizations to interact with the activities of our body-mind-spirit. Each chant is in direct relation with each chakra. Each tone and mantra is connected to a definite function of the physical body through the endocrine glands and the spinal system.
The chants are used to harmonize, balance and stimulate the flow of subtle energies of the chakras system, clearing negative thoughts and emotions which weaken the electro-magnetic emanations of the body, thus eliminating blockages. This recording uses the capacity of a sound vibration to reach out through vibrational waves to set off a similar vibration in another body.
In this album, the focused use of the sound principle of sacred resonance serves as the foundation for all healing and enlightenment.
I composed the melodies in the course of two years. During this time, I gave numerous workshops for the harmonization of the chakras system in the United States and Canada, working with bhakti dance teacher Anuradha Dauphinais who performed parts of the backing vocals during the recordings sessions of this album. Throughout these two years, I received repeated positive comments about the efficiency of our technique which combine the healing power of music, mantra, mudra and visualization. This album is the fruit of these investigations.
I also bow in reverence, beyond simple gratitude, before my diksha and siksha spiritual masters, Bhaktivedanta Swami and Sridhar Dev Goswami. Everything I know is a direct result of their unmotivated love and grace.
I deeply believe in the power of sound, especially spiritual sound vibrations. To chant, or even simply listen to the Names of God will progressively cleanse our entire being. Chanting the names of different great demigods (like Shiva or Ganesha, or goddess Tara) can also increasingly inspire us to chant the Names of God. The demigods are servants of God (just like us) and they can assist us to find our way back to Godhead. Although there is no conflict between Thora, Bible, Koran or Veda, this album is dedicated to the Sanskrit mantra tradition. Nonetheless, the Names of God will fill our heart with peace, love and light in any language. Please listen, chant and be well.
