A Garland for the World

Holding a Rudraksha Mala for mantra repetition

In a perfect storm of trouble may we offer our highest to those in peril, fear, and grief. To that end we will be posting music from various traditions now and in the coming days to help all of us. We wish you well.

This mantra from the Rig Veda of the Hindu tradition is for healing, for defeating death and the fear of death. It comes from one of the oldest spiritual practices on our planet. Traditionally sung 108 times in the morning and evening, we offer this garland of sound energy

as a way for you to imbibe peace and healing for yourself, your loved ones, and all the world.

The Maha Mrtyunjaya Mantra
