The Heart Sutra Gate Gate Paragate with Jula
The Heart Sutra is considered one of the most famous Buddhist texts and, as an ancient Japanese translation, is at the center of numerous schools of Zen. In it, the Buddha Avalokiteshvara teaches about the highest virtue on the path to enlightenment: perfect wisdom, in Sanskrit Prajnaparamita, that is, the knowledge of the emptiness of all phenomena. The mantra is the conclusion and climax of the sutra. The meaning of the syllables GATE means "gone", the passage from suffering to liberation from suffering. PARA amplifies GATE and means "to the other shore", "all the way". GAM amplifies GATE and means "all living beings", "the whole Sangha". BODHI means the attained state of "enlightenment" or "awakening". SVAHA means "May the meaning of the mantra take root in my heart! comparable to "Amen" or "Hallelujah". Mantras are powerful sound energies in Sanskrit, a prayer and chant language. The correct use of these sound energies helps to achieve health, inner harmony, mental clarity, powerful life energy, unfolding of love and joy. The highest goal of Mantra Yoga, as always in yoga, is the realization of the true nature, the oneness with the infinite life itself. Mantra Yoga is considered one of the most powerful, simple, safe and fast ways to this realization. Would you like to be taught live online in person by yoga teachers ?

Asato Ma Sad Gamaya chanted by the Yoga Vidya Kirtan Family
Asato Ma Sad Gamaya is a powerful peace mantra to guide us to liberation from our own ignorance. "Guide me..." reminds us that there is a higher energy that guides us along the way. The essence of this mantra is to transform from Asat (untruth) to Sat (truth). The three individual verses are like an affirmation or prayer that help us experience the highest. The goal in yoga is moksa, liberation, immersion in the light - which is exactly what we ask for in this mantra. It is a soothing mantra that gives us hope. It reminds us that there is a higher energy that stands by us in difficult times and also every day when we want to overcome our own limitations. 🎵 C                            G asato mā sad gamaya C                               G tamaso mā jyotir gamaya C                        G mṛtyor mā - āmṛtaṃ gamaya C                        G mṛtyor mā - āmṛtaṃ gamaya (Capo 2) Shankara Pierre Hübener: vocals Svenja Bade: vocals Patrik Frauzem: harmonium, Choir Dorothee Grubert: bass, choir Shivapriya Clara Grubert: choir Ananda Devi Mel Kissling: choir Ramani Julia Brandenbunrg; choir Jula Liebhold: choir Peywand Semrau: strings Garuda Robert Plawetzli: clarinet in break Simon Siesta: remaining instruments + recording, mixing, mastering If you are interested in seminars with music, you can find here seminars on mantra and music.
