Shiva Shambho — Radhika Das — LIVE Kirtan at Cecil Sharp House, London

The power of transcendental sound has been channeled by various traditions, throughout history and throughout the world. Chants, prayers, hymns, recitation of sacred texts, can awaken our inherent spiritual nature.

‘Mantra’ is a sanskrit word meaning ‘that which liberates and cleanses the mind’. Mantra refers to a sacred sound formula that is vibrated repeatedly, as a process of purifying the heart and mind, allowing the innate brilliance within to shine out into every aspect of our lives. So simple, but so powerful!

This mantra, dedicated to Lord Shiva: ‘Shiva Shambho, Mahadeva Shambho;’ brings the remembrance that the gates of spirituality are opened by great souls, like Lord Shiva. Shambho means “auspicious” and Mahadeva means “Greatest deva/demi-god”

The arrangement of this tune was inspired by my track: Revealed (Shiva Shambho): [https://youtu.be/2Ou2bT6t6is], where the entry to the kirtan consists of grooving, raw percussion.
