Mantra for devotion, unconditional love and joy

performed by Ramani - vocals,

cymbals Patrick - vocals

The kirtan helps you to surrender to the Divine and to life itself - just as Hanuman surrendered to Rama in complete trust. Hanuman was the servant of Rama and Sita. Sita was the wife of Rama and they both are considered as an ideal couple. Rama does not exist without Sita and Sita does not exist without Rama, so they often speak or sing of "Sitaram". They lead us to unconditional love. Jaya means "long live" and so we can translate Jay Hanuman and Jay Sitaram as "long live Hanuman - long live Sitaram".

Asato Ma Sat Gamaya, is an ancient verse from the Vedas.
It is a peace mantra, and it is also a prayer where we ask to experience the highest.
The entire text of Asato Ma means: lead us from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, from mortality to immortality.

"I try not to sing, but to be sung. Not to put anything in the way of every sound that may come, to become empty, to become still. Back to the source. Hari Om Tat Sat."
