Ancient vedic devotional songs to enliven the feminine shakti or creative energy of the universe

About the CD

Vedic Devata Productions presents the first of its Vedic Mantra Therapy CDs performed by Westerners, featuring the ancient science and art of Vedic Classical Devotional Song. This CD is beyond entertainment as it has been found by listeners to be therapeutic and healing. It features the Ancient Vedic Sanskrit language that is the mother of all languages, and vibrates at a primordial level of life close to what Modern Quantum Physics has identified as the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature, and what ancient Vedic Science identifies as the Veda, a field of Pure Self-interacting Consciousness. 

Consciousness is all that there is, and sits at the basis of every grain of manifest creation. All matter and energy emerge from this field that is silently present fundamentally in all forms of manifest creation. Therefore, many listeners find their awareness enters a deep meditative experience while listening, that promotes inner harmony, nourishment, and peace. These specific traditional ancient texts enliven attunement to the universal power of that Cosmic Administrator known as Mother Divine, the Divine Feminine that is naturally nourishing to life. In addition to its spiritually uplifting and therapeutic values, this Daivi Shakti CD also provides an excellent teaching supplemental tool with the PDF file of the Sanskrit texts and transliterations, allowing listeners to sing along and enjoy the enhanced bliss of Vedic Devotional Songs. These delightful and divine melodies and texts are derived from Vedic pujas and yagyas; they are chanted and sung in Sanskrit with English transliterations, so that you as a listener may sing along and learn them yourself with the lead singer/teacher. The songs are sung in the oral tradition known as guru-shishya- parampara, with teacher and student chorus alternating, so that listeners may easily learn and sing along. There is no substitute for a good teacher; however, this CD provides an excellent teaching supplemental tool to learning to pronounce, sing and enjoy the bliss of Vedic Devotional Songs. These divine songs have a remarkable power and ability to nourish and uplift the heart and consciousness toward a state of complete unity.They are always nourishing, but especially fulfilling when sung during the Nine Days of Mother Divine according to the Vedic Calendar, which occur in the spring and fall of every year. Instrumentation has been limited to the customary use of drone and minimal percussion; using traditional acoustic instruments to encourage maximum purity of intonation along with perfection in pronunciation.

Testimonials

“I have listened to the beautiful recording of the teacher and girls singing Sanskrit songs, and I found it enjoyable and very settling to listen to.

From the viewpoint of Sanskrit, it’s technically accurate, much like a recording that would emerge from some ashram high in the Himalayas. I recommend it, and I personally plan to listen to it again and again.”

—Tom Egenes, Ph.D, Professer of Sanskrit

“ There was a time when I lost both my mother and my fiancé to cancer and a car accident within a two week period. I sank into a deep depression. I listened to the Daivi Shakti Cd daily in my car while driving to work. It effectively uplifted me and nourished my mind- body-spirit. With its feminine nourishing power it healed my emotional heart, while helping to

neutralize the grief from the loss of the two important women in my life. I highly recommend it.”
