1. OM MANI PEME HUM REMIX contained in this mantra and each of the six sacred (Chenrezig’s Jam) syllables works to purify mental afflictions. Khenpo featuring Lamas Karma Drodhul and Lama Karma Karthar Rinpoche says: “The vibrations from the Thendup of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra monastery sacred syllable OM remove pride; MA, jealousy; NI, egotistical desire; PE, ignorance; ME, greed and LYRICS: stinginess; and HUNG/HUM, hate and anger both for PART I: Prayer of Praise to Chenrezig ourselves and for all beings. By constantly repeating (The following transliteration is traditionally sung three this mantra and mentally sending light and love to all, times): we and all beings receive limitless benefit.” JO WO KYON GYI MA GÖ KU DOK KAR NOTES: DZOK SANG GYE KYI U LA GYEN In this song, I’ve combined two existing melodies: T’HUK JEY CHEN GYI DRO LA ZIK one by His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, CHENREZIG LA CHAK TSHAL LO and the other from an unknown source. I first heard TRANSLATION: that unknown-source melody back in 2005 at an Lord, unmarred by imperfection, body white in color/ interfaith service in South Carolina. I immediately whose head is ornamented with a perfect Buddha/ fell in love with it and have been chanting it live at gazing on beings with the eye of compassion/to virtually every kirtan I have led since then. In the Chenrezig I reverently prostrate. meantime, the Karmapa had also introduced a new Om Mani Peme Hum melody, which is sung on this PART II: Mantra of Chenrezig track by two beloved lamas—Karma Drodhul and Om Mani Peme Hum Karma Thendup—from His Holiness’s monastery in Woodstock, NY. I was delighted to hear the way the TRANSLATION: two melodies—traditional Eastern and contemporary In the Buddhist tradition, this powerful mantra Western—work together. Listeners are so blessed to invokes the blessings of Chenrezig (in Sanskrit: have the voices and vibrations of two such wonderful Avalokiteshvara): the Bodhisattva of Compassion. lamas on this track. (PS—Lama Karma says that this While this mantra is difficult to translate simply, song is “good for driving” because it’s so upbeat and it is said that all the teachings of the Buddha are peppy. He also says that just hearing or reciting this with the elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space mantra once can benefit many, many beings.) and reciting these syllables cleanses the chakras, calms the nervous system and purifies the mind.

This particular melody came to me while out walking my LYRICS: dog under a full moon in Accord, New York in 2012, Om Namah Shivaya and as the melody came through, I sensed it was Jai Shiva Shankara Bom Bom Hara Hara going to be a rock song. This, however, made me a Shiva Om little bit uncomfortable—mantra rock?—because I TRANSLATION: like to keep things traditional and honor the origins The simplest translation of this mantra is: Om, I bow to of kirtan.

In addition to being an homage to Lord break that one of my favorite drummers of all time Shiva—the Great Ego-Destroyer Who Brings About is Keith Moon. Being a rocker, he took this to mean Change—this mantra is an incredibly healing mantra that I wanted him to play like Keith Moon. So during from a sound healing perspective. Each of the five the recording session, he basically exploded, laying sacred syllables (six, if one includes OM) corresponds out Shiva’s Dance of Destruction via his drum kit. After that session, I continued to resist the now- Anthony Molina – guitar, piano, percussion • Holly recorded drums, feeling that we were straying too Montgomery – bass • Wynne Paris – rhythm guitar • far from tradition, but Gaura Vani, in his ever-wise Steve Postell – lead and rhythm guitar way, encouraged me to embrace the avatar of the song. He even suggested the cheeky subtitle “Holder 3. OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA REMIX of the Moon” as a nod to Keith. So we embraced (Homage to the 21 Taras) this rock and roll Shiva. Plus, being a devoted fan of featuring Drukmo Gyal Dakini rock music, I have always enjoyed singing my music quite loudly, and have allowed myself to believe that LYRICS: mantras shouted at the top of one’s lungs have more PART I – Green Tara Mantra power than mantras whispered quietly.

www.LeeHarringtonMantraMusic.com dreams, this song was the most challenging one on the Om Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Soha album from a production standpoint, and many times I actually wanted to scrap it. That is probably because I’m gone, I’m gone again/I’m gone beyond again/Gone what I wanted this song to be and what the song itself beyond the beyond again/And I am waiting for you/To wanted to be were two different things. It took me two open your heart. years to surrender to the song, and to Govinda, but Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Soha I finally did. I humbly pray that the results stand as a proper tribute.

(And the Heart Sutra is a sub-sutra found within the larger Prajnaparamita Sutra). The 5. GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE word “Prajnaparamita” means perfection of wisdom, which in my humble opinion is what reciting this BODHI SOHA REMIX (Beyond the Beyond) mantra cultivates. (And, incidentally, Prajnaparamita featuring Karma Thendup, Gaura Vani, Keith Fluitt, is also a goddess. As Shariputra said, “Wisdom is a John James, and the Prajnaparamita Choir virtue of the Mother.”) Among its many translations, LYRICS: the Prajnaparamita mantra symbolizes the five paths Teyatha of spiritual progression. Chanting this mantra helps us cultivate and sustain wisdom, generosity, patience, MUSICIANS: acceptance, etc. It also frees us from the spell of Paul Kuklinski – Bass • John McDowell – piano, African illusion.

SHIVA SHAKTI (Lord of the Disco Dance) the energy of this mantra—which is soaring, heart- featuring John James opening, mind-clearing and transcendent—would be suited to gospel music. LYRICS: Nataraj Nataraja Jai Shiva Shankara Nataraja This melody came to me in a dream shortly after Shivaraja Shivaraja Shivakami Priya Shivaraja hearing a teaching on the Heart Sutra with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. In my dream I was Jai Shiva Shankara Bom Bom Hara Hara actually singing this in the Himalayas—beyond the Shiva Shakti Om Shiva Shakti beyond for sure!

Our chorus—some of whom I Nataraj (Lord of the Dance) is the dancing form of met for the first time that day—consisted of lovers of Shiva. Nataraj’s cosmic dance encompasses both Christ, Krishna, Amma, Buddha, and Shiva. So one the destruction and the creation of the universe and could say that our paths differed. But when we sang represents the cycles of death, birth and rebirth. the Prajnaparamita mantra together over and over Loosely, the Nataraj mantra of the prelude translates again, all of our faces began to shine with the same as: Chant the Name of Lord Shiva, Lord of the light of Oneness.

NOTES: 7. JAI MA (FOR AMMACHI) Disco Shiva. What can I say? At kirtans, people featuring Radharani always get up and dance during the Maha Mantra, but I’ve always felt the Shiva mantra deserved a dance, LYRICS: too. One summer, while driving to Massachusetts and Jai Ma Jai Ma Jai Ma Ma Jai Ma chanting Om Namah Shivaya, I heard a disco song Sri Mata Amritananda Mayi Devi on the radio (which happens often in Massachusetts) Ma Om whose very bass line seemed to echo the mantra right You Are the Mother/ You Are the Lover back at me. There’s something about singing mantras You Are the Water/ The Air and Sky to a bass line that weaves the essence of the mantra You Are the Earth/ You Are Rebirth into your very system. The next morning, while out You Are the Mother, the Mother, the Mother walking my dog, the whole Shiva Shakti melody and of the Universe arrangement flowed through. Luckily, I was carrying a voice recorder. I’m so grateful to Hans Christian for all TRANSLATION: the amazing magic he created with his strings, and to “Jai Ma” essentially means “Hail to the Mother, Victory my backing vocalists—Helen, Calia, Kim, Anthony and to the Divine Feminine.” “Sri Mata Amritananda Mayi John—who made this song super-fun.
