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 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.



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!Note: SpT is a private ratio based tracker that is making some of its content available here.
