Cat No ESGCD309

Our Buddhist CD originates from within a Chinese tradition as practised today and includes one of the most important mantras, or spiritual chants that aid meditation, “Om mani padme hum” (The Greatest Six-Word Brilliant Dharani). This is found in many variants throughout the Buddhist world and is typically translated as ‘The Jewel In The Lotus’.

The Hindu tradition is represented in two forms: the Indian, by world-famous singer Jagjit Singh who, after the tragic death of his child, forsook the love-poetry (ghazals) that had made him famous for a more meditative music; and the hypnotically repetitive Gamelan music played by orchestras of metal gongs on the Hindu island of Bali in Indonesia. Jagjit’s contribution includes one of the most famous mantras ever, “Hare Krishna Hare Krishna” (Shree Krishna Naam Dhun), but in a far more melodious and relaxed setting than is perhaps usually heard.

3CD set that focuses on music and chants from two of the world’s most important meditative traditions: the Buddhist and the Hindu

includes the most famous mantras - spiritual chants that aid meditation – from both disciplines

Excellent value and beautifully packaged in slim-line 3CD box with notes on both the music and techniques of meditation
