	Story Behind the Song Sean had this chord progression that I really wanted to play around with. I was actually looking to use a number of different sacred songs together to create a track that was the embodiment of my belief that all religions come from a unified source of goodness. I tried some stuff with Amazing Grace, Christian chants, native Indian chants but... it seems the influence of the East was powerfully present in our consciousness and the two chants landed together in a tantric heap. We layered seven vocal takes to represent the seven chakras and levels of consciousness. So many people have commented about how good they feel listening to this track and how much it stays with them. Even when I learned the sanskrit words I could feel the resonance of those sacred vowels begin to change me and truly I think the vocals sound not so much like me as something that was channeling through me. Lyrics Devotion Om bhoor Bhuvassuvah Tat Saviturvarenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yo Nah prachodayaat. This is an ancient Sanskrit mantra chanted every morning at sunrise by millions of voices in India. chant interpretation: I meditate on the most brilliant splendor of the divine sun. May He stimulate our intellect, So that we are inspired to take the right action at the right time. May there be peace on mortal immortal and Divine planes. Gate, gate, para gate. para sam gate bodhisvaha! This bhuddist Heart Sutra is chanted to help pierce the veils of illusion and open to the wisdom of the heart. Chant interpretation: Gone, gone. Gone beyond. Gone beyond the beyond. Hail to the awakened one!
