Yogi Bhajan said that inside each human being is a light that is brighter than a thousand suns. His lectures inspired many songs and his messages set the vibration for this powerful, intuitive series of mantras.
GuruGanesha Singh and Paloma Devi combine their hypnotic and stunning vocals with the mesmerizing cello of Hans Christian, collectively inviting the presence of the divine into the heart of every listener.
The opening track, “A Thousand Suns,” relays the message to open your heart with “Ang Sang Wahe Guru,” which translates to “The dynamic, loving energy of the Infinite Source of All is dancing within my every cell, and is present in my every limb. My individual consciousness merges with the Universal consciousness.”
“Thy Will Be Done” draws us deeper into the Naam, or sacred sound current, by asking us to surrender to the will of the Divine and serve.
GuruGanesha’s previous albums have primarily featured words from the Sikh tradition. It is a beautiful change to hear him lend his talents to the famous Hindu mantra “Sri Ram.” Paloma Devi’s vocals on this track are particularly sensual, strong, and sacred.
Produced by Thomas Barquee, with the addition of Tripp Dudley on drums, Gurusangat Singh on bass guitar, and Sat Kartar Singh on acoustic guitar, this album blessed with Guru’s grace and cosmic infinite bliss is a joyful accompaniment to any practice.
