AUM: A Meditation in Sound  AUM: A Meditation in Sound Ref: MX2006

Swami Rama

On the banks of the holy river Ganges in northern India, is an ancient Shiva temple where Swami Rama recorded this chanting of AUM. As one listens to this simple yet profound recording, one is carried by the singular voice of Swami Rama chanting AUM with only an electronic tanpura for accompaniment. Mysteriously this sound grows and grows throughout the recording. Finally the entire temple is vibrating and reverberating with this cosmic sound spiraling throughout the shrine as it stimulates the temple bells to sympathetically resonate.

CELESTIAL MUSIC FOR YOGA  CELESTIAL MUSIC FOR YOGA Ref: MX036

Gerald Jay Markoe

Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the highly revered book "Autobiography of a Yogi") was largely responsible for introducing the West to the ideas of meditation, Kriya Yoga and spiritual enlightenment. Upon entering the United States in 1920, he traveled far and wide spreading his teachings about Eastern religion and drawing parallels to the beliefs of the West. This album features a series of compositions created by Yogananda, performed with ethereal grace by Gerald Jay Markoe. Incorporating instruments like harp, sitar, keyboards, cello, strings and synthesized ambience, Celestial Music for Yoga is a feast for the ears and a wonderful accompaniment for yoga practice.

MANTRA: Sacred Words of Power  MANTRA: Sacred Words of Power Ref: K054

Thomas Ashley-Farrand

In 1978, Thomas Ashley-Farrand traveled to India for the first time, where he astonished the spiritual community there with his perfect command of mantra, the practice of using specific “sacred sound syllables” for spiritual and material transformation. Now, 20 years later, he shares for the first time his mastery of this ancient spiritual art on Mantra: Sacred Words of Power. Here is the first English language audio curriculum that teaches you how to use mantras to enhance the powers of your mind, influence the environment around you, and deepen your spiritual practice. According to the Vedic tradition of India, the universe was birthed from pure sound. This symphony of vibrational energy continues to unfold at this moment, creating everything that we hear, see, and touch. In 12 fascinating sessions, Thomas Ashley-Farrand teaches you a library of traditional mantras with relevance to every area of your life. From work and health, to love and enlightenment - here are dozens of authentic chants that are used every day by millions of people to activate the energy of creation. "The power of mantras comes not from the meaning of the syllables," teaches Ashley-Farrand, "but from their direct vibrational effect on our body’s physiological and energetic systems." With Mantra: Sacred Words of Power, you can begin practicing these powerful chants to heal and change your own life - with the very first mantra that you chant. Includes a 48-page study guide.
