Mantra chanting awakens divine energies and Dancing frees us from life’s worries...these tracks are here to unite these two practices to dance ourselves into divine energy!
'I met Kareem, as most people do, by dancing to his music! During a remix of a mantra that carried my spirits to the sky, I had an epiphany. I knew right then that we would collaborate together to bring sacred vibrations of Mantra, heart opening melodies and hip grooving beats together. These two tracks are the start of a cooperation that brought us together musically and personally'. - David Lurey

In sharing our two combined passions we support the body spirit connection with Mantra and Dance Music!
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
Is known as a Mukti, or liberation, Mantra. It is a potent spiritual formula for attaining freedom. Consistent use of this mantra will eventually, even if over many incarnations, free us from the cycles of rebirth. In this way it mitigates Karma so we are free to make true choices in our lives. True choices, not simply reacting to desire and aversion.
* Om is a seed sound for the sixth, or brow, chakra and is the name of the state of existence in which the Indweller (jiva, atman, or soul) has united with the spirit of the all-pervading consciousness
* Namo here means name
* Bhagavate is one who is becoming divine
* Vasudevaya is "the Indweller"
A 'fairly' literal translation would be: "Om and salutations to the Indwelling One, substance of the Divine".
