Rajanaka Mantra by Rajanaka Mantra

Rajanaka Mantra is the artful celebration of some of the private practices of a living lineage of Householder tantra, specifically those currents elucidated by Dr. Douglas Brooks. The mantras come through his lineage, but are interpreted and performed with the principle of freedom at the forefront of the imagination of the artists who created it. Yoga is not empowering unless and until one has made its practices one’s own. Rajanaka Mantra in this way is an exploration of evocative mantra. Often cultivated privately and spoken silently to oneself, these songs instead are the embodied expression of the Divine turned inside out. To that end, the format of the songs does not follow a usual call-and-response pattern of song styling typical of the devotionalist yoga tradition. This paradigm shift encourages listeners to freely enter into the mantra; to step into the current; to evoke in oneself that which is evoked here; to in fact, become the song, sung.
