Mantras from the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita

sung by Sri Chinmoy

Historically, many of the best-known ancient mantras have come from these two Indian spiritual books. In these recordings, Sri Chinmoy sings the mantras using his own melodies, and gives the English translation.

• Satyam eva jayate
  Truth alone Triumphs.
• Asato Ma Sad Gamaya, Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya, Mrittyor Ma Amrita Gamaya
  Lead us from the unreal to the real, lead us from darkness to light, lead us from death to Immortality.
• Agnir Jyotir Jyotir Agnir Indrah Jyotir Jyotir Indrah Surya Jyotir Jyotir Surya
  Agni is Light and the Light is Agni, Indra is Light and the Light is Indra, Surya is Light and the Light is Surya.
• Nimitta Matram Bhavah Savyasachin
  O Arjuna, become a mere intrument.
• The Gayatri Mantra
  Aum bhur bhuvah svah Tat savitur varenyam Bhargo devasya dhimahi Dhiyo yo nah pracodayat
  We meditate on the transcendental glory of the Deity Supreme, who is inside the heart of the earth, inside the life of the sky, and inside the soul of the heaven. May He stimulate and illumine our minds.

Sri Chinmoy sings mantras dedicated to the cosmic gods

These mantras, which invoke a particular Indian deity, are known as bhajans. By singing them, sincere seekers feel a sense of devotion and closeness to the Divine within their own heart. These particular mantras invoke Lord Krishna and Mother Kali; Sri Chinmoy often spoke of the special connection he has had with Lord Krishna and Mother Kali ever since childhood.

Mantras dedicated to Lord Krishna:

• He Gopal he Gopal
  Dekho dekho mor banda kapal
• Krishna name kandbe hiya, Krishna name kandbe
  Krishna name nachbe jiban, Krishna name nachbe

Mantras dedicated to Mother Kali:

• Mata Kali mata kali Kali
  karo amar man khanire khali
• Bishwa janani janani moder ma Kali ma Kali
  Korogo moder tomar kripar Kalika rupali sonali
