Chanting is Medicine for the Mind

When we chant with attention, we find ourselves in a place of inner peace and connection: connection to satsangha and to Divine presence. The repetition of the Names is a heart-mind healing salve and those in the chanting community both relish it and dedicate their lives to this practice. It is both the goal and path by which the goal is found.

The practice of chanting is there for us in times of happiness and sorrow, triumph and pain. May we relish the moment of grace, when for no reason at all, our full attention is called back to the Names. May we reside forever in the sacred place of satsangha. May we find one another, with hearts full of gratitude, again and again.

The Faces of Sacred Feminine!

Today I was thinking about the amazing women from the chant world and specifically those women Mantralogy has enjoyed supporting. These photos are just a sample and there will be more to come. Please enjoy this gallery of strength, love and joy. It’s important to remember that the life we are leading right now is the best life and to look back with gratitude. Occasionally we forget how blessed we are. Up next- a retrospective of Mantralogy designs! 2008-now!


Jai Sri Rama! Monkey Warriors!

Wonderville by Adam Bauer

Dear Lovers of Chant!

We are delighted to announce the up coming release of Adam Bauer’s second Mantralogy album, Wonderville. The official street date is Sept 22, 2017, but the album is available NOW for pre-order now.

support the music! click here

Here’s what LLOYD BARDE from Common Ground magazine has to say about the album:

Featuring chants to Krishna, Shiva and Ganesh, Wonderville presents Bauer for the first time integrating English lyrics into his songs, and showcases an interpretation of an all-English song which has melted hearts around the world since being included in his epic live performances. Basic tracks were recorded by Vipal Asthana in Varanasi, India, on the solar eclipse March of 2016, and masterfully mixed & recorded by Ben Leinbach in San Anselmo. Adam has brewed up a heady stew, whistling while he works it, stirring and seasoning in all the right places with reverence and authenticity. The lengthy tracks allow plenty of room for development and artistic freedom to be explored and, for the most part, perfectly landed. People get ready, there’s a chant train a’comin’ — y’all hop on board, y’hear?

SUPPORT THE MUSIC! COME SEE Adam at Hanuman Stage at 6 pm Thurday Sept 7th at Bhaktifest West, hang with him at the Mantralogy/Mandala Bhakti Lounge at the Main Stage 3:30-4:30 on Saturday pre-release Wonderville CDs are exclusively available at Bhaktifest! Come by and hang with Adam and the Mantralogy posse!

Guru Chants and Mantras in the Tibetan Tradition

Namaste’ chanting friends,

On June 30, 2017, Mantralogy will release its first chant album in the Tibetan language. This album is a beautiful, heartfelt offering from Tulku Sherdor of the Blazing Wisdom Institute in Saugerties, NY, in the heart of The Bhajan Belt. Tulku is a teacher world wide and locally at both Blazing Wisdom and Garrison Institute, where he often shares the stage with Krishna das, whose voice is featured on this album. In addition, the album is graced with the sounds of well known mantra musicians Steve Gorn, and John McDowell, (who also recorded the album) and rising sacred sound guitar man, Charlie Braun.

support the music and the project

Also available on Spotify, Amazon, and iTunes and of course, Mantralogy.com.

It is our hope at Mantralogy that we increase the awareness of all the ways the varying traditions have commonalities, and that we appreciate and share and delight in unique varieties of chanting. When we lift our voices together with sacred intention, we raise the consciousness of the world with our love and compassion.

all glories,
Keli

Nityananda~A new Single from The Mayapuris!

The Mayapuris released a single entitled, Nityananda, on April 7, 2017. Because they said everything so beautifully, I would like to share with all of you what this song is about, in their own words. Take a few moments of your day to relish the meaning of this stunning piece of music.

Dear Friends,

There is a prayer of gratitude in the Vaisnava tradition that states that the lovers of the Lord are like desire trees, fulfilling the wishes of everyone; from their hearts flow oceans of compassion.

We are so grateful for your presence in our lives. Mayapuris would not be who we are without the love and guidance of well-wishers such as yourself.

We are so excited to be adventuring into our next album, which will be titled ‘Nine Islands’, named after Navadvipa, the area including Mayapur where the kirtan movement was ignited. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and blessings in our attempts to serve the Holy Names.

Love and Respect,

The Mayapuris

(Vish, Kish, and Bali)


It is said that persons who recite these 12 auspicious names of Sri Nityananda daily become free from all difficulties of this material realm.

Download it now on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and more: http://lnk.to/nityananda

The Mayapuris new Single, ‘Nityananda’, blends the ancient village with the classical orchestra, a symphony of sound that straddles the musical traditions of the eastern and western worlds. The composition is modern, harmonic and layered, the instrumentation from a previous era, but the sentiment is timeless, a deep call for mercy and for grace, a prayer to God as old as time.
The song describes the ecstatic Godhead, forever seated in a realm of compassion and divine madness. His expansive love spreads across the world like the silvered rays of a rising moon. Those seekers swept in its wake are pulled to the eternal principle, pure love of God.

Sri Nityananda Rama is a reservoir of eternal bliss. His divine essence is present in the chanting of His holy names. “Nityananda!” the Mayapuris single, is inspired by the 12 names of Nityananda composed by the saintly 16th century scholar, Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya, a contemporary of Sri Nityananda and Caitanya.
