The Music:
Just as pure air, water, and nourishing food influence the life force of all living things, so does the sound of music.  Under the influence of soothing music, our heart rates and respiration are calmed, our brain waves are altered, and we draw strength and energy.  Similarly, it is said that with the proper musical treatment trees and crops flourish and animals give more copious milk. For thousands of years the sages of South Asia have been advocating a balanced diet of yoga, ayurveda, and beautiful music for physical health and spiritual realization. 

Following in this tradition, Sukarma presents CD entitled Mountain Mantra (chants from the mountains) to help the listener concentrate the mind and body in the now, and to allow the clouded mirror of consciousness to clear.  We hope that this music be a tool in bringing the peace and harmony and restored vitality that people seek. This CD represents the various special thematic composition based on the classical raga as well as rich musical folk tradition of Nepal from the southern plains to the high Himalayan Mountains. The Artists effortlessly weave authentic folk melodies with musically satisfying raga-based improvisation.  This CD will be enjoyed both by experts of any kind of music and by music lovers of all sorts who appreciate skill and musical mastery.
