A Chant Album
from the Sacred Writings of the Sikhs to experience Love.
Prem means the experience of love, deep love. It is the love that you
have the courage and wisdom to feel in yourself for yourself, it is the
love that God feels for you.
We project
ourselves through every moment of time and space whether it
is through sounds, thoughts, or feelings. The gift of every
human being is to truly express the soul through the intelligence
of the mind and body. Often times however we are burdened with
so many expectations and desires of what we should be that
we cannot truly express who we are. If you take a 60 second
period and just watch your mind you will observe a cycle of
experience that is identical to a longer cycle of experience
over a day, a month, a year, a lifetime. It doesn't’t
matter how long you observe your mind; it is what it is. We
cycle through receiving information, processing it, and then
projecting out our reality through the medium of sound, thought,
or feeling. Buy Prem Now!
In order
to project the reality of the honest self, the soul, Yogi Bhajan
has taught the science of Naad Yoga. Naad means sound current.
It is the primal sound that connects the basic elements of
the physical body to the etheric elements of the soul. Naad
Yoga uses sacred mantras from the writings of the Sikh Gurus
in the beautiful poetic language of Gurumukhi. These mantras
are traditionally practiced with a straight spine, in a meditative
posture. As the mantras are sung the energy of the sound current
creates a channel of healing energy through the spinal chord
and out the top of the head. Essentially what happens is that
through the repetition of these sacred mantras the tongue stimulates
meridian points on the roof of the mouth. These points in turn
stimulate the hypothalamus to secrete which controls the pituitary
gland and pineal gland. In yogic practice we call this the
turning of the lotus. A visual image is that at the top of
the head rests the lotus flower or the tenth gate. It faces
upwards. Through Naad Yoga the Kundalini energy rises from
the base of the spine to the top of the head. At this time
the lotus flower turns upside down and rains nectar down upon
the yogi. In physical terms the glandular system is stimulated.
In spiritual terms the sweetness of angels caresses each and
every cell. Through the practice of Naad Yoga we can increase
our immune system, or physical well being, mental calmness,
and connection to the spirit.
Often times
people tell me, “ I don’t have a good voice, I
can’t sing.” I tell them that the very sound of
your voice is what will heal you if you just allow it to be
you. By practicing Naad Yoga we can obtain the experience of
heaven on earth in our own body. This experience will in turn
bring light to the rest of your life simply by the natural
flow of energy that you have created within yourself. Prem
is my new album that is created so that anyone can take it,
listen to it, chant with it, and be with it. It is called Prem
because in the beautiful process of figuring out which mantras
to do, creating the tunes, and bringing them to the studio
it gave me a deep sense of self love and healing. May it also
bring self-love and healing into your life.
I am joined
by Thomas Barquee, my producer and great friend, who has helped
to bring the quality of music to heavenly standards. My loving
mother, Prabhu Nam Kaur has given her rich voice and most appreciated
guidance throughout the process of creating this album. I have
also been very blessed to have Lily Hayden (violin), Zoran
Todorovic (guitar and mandolin), and Jim McGrath (percussion)
all world class musicians contribute the most exquisite instrumentation
that I could imagine. I am grateful to the down to earth Punjabi
style tabla playing that brings me straight back to my time
in India by Avtar Singh, and the wonderful vocals of Laura
Kerr, Guru Ganesha Singh, and Kirtan Singh. This album is uplifting
to me, may it be uplifting to you! Buy
