Arakara: Ecstasy Of The Awake / Various Arakara: Ecstasy Of The Awake / Various CD

Sent from south India to Southern California at the direction of his Saddhu teachers, the visionary artist Turiya Nada (AKA Nandhi) has created his own original fusion of the rapturous, ancient chants of India's Siddhar sages with 21st century electronic soundscapes. Arakara: Ecstasy of the Awake blends ritual trance and harmonic beats with authentic mantra chanting, and is offered by Turiya Nada in thanks to the enlightened masters who came before him in a Siddhar tradition that spans several thousand years. The potent music is also a means of sharing their transformational messages of compassion and community with the western world. Produced and arranged by the award-winning musician Howard Lipp and multi-instrumentalist Edwing Sankey, the album's eleven hypnotic mantras present powerful, ritual trance music for a new generation of listeners.
