Vedic Chants for Mindfulness
Files
Abstract
Despite the multitude of meditation and mindfulness techniques available, Vedic chants adhere to the original intonation and melody rules outlined in the Vedic Scriptures, preserving the healing properties of the mantras. This rendition is particularly unique in its aim to resonate with a global audience. Combining ancient mantra chants with western musical styles enhances the appeal and accessibility of the chants. This fusion also paves the way for further exploration within the Vedic musical genre. This outcome would stem from thorough investigation into the principles of mantra chanting and the Sanskrit Language, alongside the endeavor to harmoniously integrate Western music with the Vedic music genre. Additionally, the music video presentation will assist those who wish to follow the lyrics by providing a visual accompaniment. This presents an alternative resolution to one of humanity’s most enduring challenges: the pursuit of mindfulness, which contributes to making the world a better place to live.
