Shanti Mantras recitation in vedic style Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

Shanti-Mantras recited in the Vedic style by Mohini and Nirmala with a yoga therapy training group on a Saturday evening Satsang at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg, Germany. Shanti Mantras come from Vedic texts, mostly from the Upanishads and are Mantras for peace. Shanti means peace. The whole hymn is considered a mantra and each hymn ending with "Shanti" is considered a Shanti Mantra as a whole. The word "mantra" has different meanings. On the one hand it is a short mantra, e.g. for meditation, but every passage from the Vedas is also considered a mantra, as Veda mantra. And so the Shanti Mantras are Veda Mantras.

In this Kirtan no concrete aspect of God is worshipped, but one's own true nature is invoked. It is said that behind everything that appears to be moving, Sachara, there is the immovable, the Achara. The outer world is in all kinds of changes, but behind the outer world is the one infinite non-moving world. It is Pari Purna, so it is full all around. So, the infinity is there. And Shivoham: "I am Shiva. I am this consciousness." For more kirtan and mantra vocal recordings click here.
