AUM - Mantra of Eternity

CD Details

Product Description

Mantra of Eternity features one continuous vocal chanting of Aum, set to tamboura accompaniment. Aum (pronounced OM) is the sound that emanates from the heart of creation, bringing consciousness into outer manifestation, maintaining it, and dissolving it back again, finally, into Infinite Spirit. This sound is the Word of the New Testament. It is the Amen of the Book of Revelation. In India, this cosmic sound was given the name AUM. By attuning one s consciousness to this sound, one enters the stream of vibration that proceeded out of Spirit, and that emerges back into the Spirit at creation s end and at the end of the individual soul s cycle of outward wandering. By merging in AUM, liberation is attained.
