Mantra mala series – Svastha – T.K.V.Desikachar ACD

At the heart of all Indian wisdom, lies the timeless legacy of the Vedas. A collection of sacred hymns that are believed to have been heard by ancient sages when they were in a profound state of meditation, the Vedas contain mantras or chants on a wide range of subjects. Indeed, contrary to the perception that the Vedas exclusively speak about religion, there are a number of chants that are universal in spirit. Significant among these are the numerous chants on health and wellbeing. In the Indian tradition, the idea of good health does not stop with the body alone. It extends far beyond, encompassing the mind and spirit as well. Presented in this album are a selection of Vedic chants that envisage health and harmony for the entire human system. While attempting to preserve the ancient Vedic heritage with strict attention to Vedic chant pedagogy, this album also aims at carrying forth the profound resonance of these sacred hymns.

Just listening to these chants can heal, for as TKV Desikachar (son and student of legendary yogi, T Krishnamacharya) says, “Chanting can open our hearts.”
